Happiness By The Kilowatt Lyrics Artist(Band):Alexisonfire
You know, I always Imagined it something more With the right drapes, the right paints The right frames, this could really work What a great day to spend indoors Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up In a hail of sparks And a tangle of wires Everything went wrong So where has all the day gone? And why are my lungs aching when I breathe? Is there something wrong with the heat? Why am I so cold? And my heart feels sick And it hurts when I speak And this is not what I hoped for Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Wake, wake up, wake, wake up Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for? Was this what we hoped for? Was this?

Review about Happiness By The Kilowatt great lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/2008 "So this is continuous happiness You know, I always imagined it something more". basically if you imagine he is in a relationship with a girl who is perfect in every way... yet he is not happy, and this is imensly confusing for him as he questions why he feels unhappy with such a aesthetically perfect relationship. although he reafirms that something is not right with the lines "With the right drapes, the right paints The right frames, this could really work" and asserts his still remaining unhappiness/depression/confusion with the following line "What a great day to spend indoors" as for the lines "wake up" i believe he is telling himself to metaphorically 'wake up' and accept that he is not happy and move on - the struggle i think comes from him not wanting to hurt the person who loves him, for no apparent reason: none that he can explain anyway. although i agree with anonymous | 1/26/2008 in that the lines In a hail of sparks And a tangle of wires Everything went wrong are key lines in the song and represent a significant point of action, i believe this is the point at which he at least tries to act upon his macabre feelings and finds out that its not so easy to live without this person as he had thought it would be. he starts to wonder why, if acting on these feelings was the correct thing to do, it hurts so much in the aftermath of the relationship breakup. que "and this is not what i hoped for" then he turns the question to the one he does/doesn't love in desperation to see if they are feeling as bad as him. very over thought i know, but this is what i get from the song... probably because i have experienced this before, and the song just reminded me. great song, great lyrics. love dallas love love love it | Reviewer: LiLi | 3/12/2008 I love love love this song. I think... when he says "why am I so cold" i think Dallas is trying to get the point across that the one he loved isn't with him anymore. and the first verse of the song is saying if everything in his relationship would have been a little bit better, the relationship he had could have worked, but for her it wasnt like that. but for him, he would have delt with all the harships to be with her. thats why his heart "feels sick" and it "hurts when i breathe". he's heartbroken and when he keeps saying "wake up, wake up" i think hes saying he wants her to wake up and realize what a good thing she had and how he just really wants her to see that. Meaning | Reviewer: Peaks | 2/26/2008 The song pretty much is about a guy trying to do his house up to fool himself, his partner and others that they are happy by making it appear perfect with material things. then the chorus "wake up...etc." has a metaphorical meaning to start with, telling him to "wake up" to himself that it wont solve anything, then when the screaming starts "In a hail of sparks, And a tangle of wires, Everything went wrong." implying the man has had an accident, presumably electrocution, and he loses conciousness(Or dies =\ ). giving a literal meaning to the "wake up....etc" in the chorus, which would be the partner pleading for him to regain conciousness. and when he does(maybe in spirit form?) he notices alot of time has passed and that he is hurt "So where has all the day gone? And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?" and the lines "Is there something wrong with the heat? Why am I so cold?" maybe he is dead? not too sure either that or he is in shock. "And my heart feels sick,And it hurts when I speak" electocution can cause serious weakness in the heart, and the hurts wen i speak bit a bit self explanitory, with any serious injury it usually hurts to speak. and the final statement "And This Is Not What I Hoped For" that instead of material things helping it has ultimately caused the mans death/or near death, however you want to look at it. whatever it means i love this song soooo much so i thought it was worth sharing my opinion on it =] Carbonmonoxide poisioning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/20/2008 Personally, I think this song is about the pitfalls of materialism. Buying a new house, doing it up and having nice things is supposed to make you happy. But after all that, he's wondering where the hours have gone and why he feels so sick. 2 words - Carbonmonoxide Poisoning. good song | Reviewer: anonymous | 1/26/2008 as most of you probably think, this is a song about a certain lack of happiness, although he thinks he has reached happiness he still can not determine what the feeling is meant to be like, hence the first couple of lines "I always imagined it something more" But it seems as though we've all forgotten the lines: In a hail of sparks And a tangle of wires Everything went wrong which appear to be the center of this song, and from then on seems to be in some kind of mental coma or depression and is causing him to question whether it might have been worth it or not, or it could simply just be the guy being electricuted or something like that who knows probably just the writers all in all a brilliant song Reply to"Awsome" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/2008 Im not sure on what the song Is about, but when you said about doing D.I.Y, that Isn't true, I know It probally relates to that, but the song Is sung as a metophor, seen as what you said, but It's on about somthin different, If you get my drift. Amazing Vocals | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/21/2007 When Wade sings "Was this what we hoped for?", Its just so awesome. George, Dallas, and Wade are the perfect freakin' combo, seriously dallas | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/9/2007 i love city and colour and cuz of him im starting to like alexisonfire, do u guys no when the new album cums out? Sweet song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/2007 Its actually based on a story called 'The Euphio Question" by Kurt Vonnegut. Basically a machine is invented that gives people complete euphoria when it is switched on. Its also where the phrase "happiness by the kilowatt' comes from. awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/18/2007 love the song but i recon its about doing DIY then getting electrocuted and passing out (Y) Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Happiness By The Kilowatt The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics. | | ||||||||||||
