Sometimes things don't have deeper meaning, Sometimes people don't need a reason, sometimes things just hurt and don't heal, sometimes I just don't care, other times I do. Sometimes I feel, and sometimes I just wish I couldn't. Sometimes I just wanna be happy...
@@hunterlillis9525 it isn't overrated 😐 it's quite literally my favourite favourite Alex g song and that's coming from someone who has listened to all his songs. To each his own I guess
@@lol29801 just because a song starts trending its suddenly overrated? 🤦 just let people listen to what they want without having the need to shout overrated every time
i’m in love with this song at the moment; and i’ve been thinking a lot about the lyrics- i feel the most obvious meaning is drugs/ or substance abuse. the reference to buying something at the beginning, “paradise waiting in my drawer”, “all you gotta do is let me lock this door”, “something special about you girl makes me wanna break up my world” - etc. another thing i find is that you can substitute the substance abuse with any king of addiction i feel. however, i also think the lyrics could be alluding to suicide.the whole album there’s a lot of references to suicide and the ‘paradise’ in the “i don’t have to deal with this shit anymore. i got paradise waiting in my drawer” line is most likely referencing heaven, and personally i believe it’s more common that people store guns in their drawer- like saying that an easy way to go is just by sh0oting himself. also the whole “Call you on the phone and I know you know Call you on the phone You just tell me not to go Baby I don't wanna be alone anymore All you gotta do is let me lock this door” part is like someone reaching out and trying to prevent the narrator from committing, but the narrator isn’t as hopeful and believes it’s just as easy as finding a way to escape and commit anyway. i really love alex g.
Yeah the line about paradise in his draw in my eyes he stores a gun in there & when all he wants is “to sometimes be happy” and “lock the door”.. instantly thought off doing suicide in private
... realest feeling in this song is 'i dont have to deal with this shit anymore'. The entitlement to being happy. The drug allusion is like an arbitrary metaphor for it. The refrain: 'sometimes i just want to be happy'. Feels like he is defending his ability to use means purely just to make him happy. The suicide reference could also be intepreted as more drug stuff, but definetely intresting perspective
I love alex g sm, it’s like his music brings comfort and acceptance to the feeling of being sad, maybe even lonely. I don’t necessarily believe it’s a bad thing, to be alone, as long as you can find yourself and feel in your own skin.
He used to have soooooo much more music up on his Bandcamp back in like 2013-2016. He’s since then removed most of his older stuff (dozens of ep’s/albums). I used to listen to this album every day in 2015.
This song was what I’d listen too when the worst of worst things would happen to me. When I was really struggling mentally and at my lowest this song was my only comfort. I can never thank Alex G enough for making a song that was and will always be there for me.
alex g is the person that stuck to me during my toughest times. his music is absolutely comforting, and he should be known a lot more here in the philippines
I listen to this song very often, usually on my walks. I struggle with an addiction and plenty of Alex G's songs make me feel better about myself; Less lonely in a sense.
I feel like this song is like my current situation, my sister showed it to me a while ago and now it's my new favorite song. I wish she hadn't had to go through so much, maybe that way she would have stayed with us. I miss her so much, listening to this song reminds me of her, I think we will see each other again soon, I don't think I'm strong enough to move forward without her by my side.
hey, i hope your still here with us, please dont give up, it may be tempting, but the reward is worth it more, im just a fellow human, but please dont end it ❤
I am in love with Alex G's voice. It's so soft and soothing even when singing about heavy topics (in this song presumably substance abuse) it makes me feel like I'm in the perfect place while looking outside the window while it's raining but still feeling like my life is horrible (that's totally not what's going on in my life rn nooo that wouldn't be possible)
My favorite song and also my favorite artist,i love his music so much he is so unbelievably underrated,his music just gives a certain feeling that no other artist does,i could listen to his music all day serously (i already do lol) i hope he gets more popular in the future🧡
i just want everything to be okay. nothing is gonna change. i’m always gonna feel like this. some people romanticize mental illness and act like it’s “cute” and “relatable” to have depression until they realize it isn’t a trend. i am going to feel empty my entire life and there’s nothing i can do about it, no safe way out.
Praying for everyone who’s in a rut and who’s struggling. Life is rough and it will chew you up and spit you out, but you are more than capable of making it out alright! If it feels as though no one is there, try to pray and cast your worries onto Jesus. Praying won’t fix your problems but it will help you endure them and overcome them. Don’t forget that Jesus loves you stay safe and stay strong🫶❤️
Ngl. I’ve been a massive nirvana fan since I was about 13. Got all there albums and I’ve got posters of kurt. But I prefer what alex has done with the riff😅
I can hear a little bit of the Smells Like Teen Spirit bassline in this but it’s different enough to where it takes on a new life and feeling. Love this song
"Sometimes" Thirty-five dollars is way too much Baby talk to this guy Get his stuff I don't have to deal with this shit anymore I got paradise waiting in my drawer Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy Call you on the phone and I know you know Call you on the phone You just tell me not to go Baby I don't wanna be alone anymore All you gotta do is let me lock this door Something special about you girl You make me wanna break up my world It's funny baby Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy Sometimes I just wanna be happy
