Discover the story of the song > Joy – Alex G

The lyrics are about a person who is different from their parents. Their dad thinks they are bad and their mom thinks they are too sad. But the protagonist doesn't care what their parents think because they do what they want to. They even break things to fix themselves and they fake things for their own health. They have a happy dream that is just for them. But they wonder if their romantic partner will be the one to keep them together. Even though they say they are okay, they don't want to see their partner tonight. They want their partner to call them when they think they are on their side. The protagonist has a bloody nose and is waiting for medicine to fix it. They wonder if their partner will be the one to keep them together. But their partner disappeared and they feel like they have won something.
