LYRICS
I love making you believe
What you get is what you see
But I’m so fake happy
I feel so fake happy
And I bet everybody here
Is just as insincere
We’re all so fake happy
And I know fake happy
I been doin’ a good job
Of makin’ em think
I’m quite alright
Better hope I don’t blink
You see it’s easy when I’m stompin’ on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh please
Don’t ask me how I’ve been
Don’t make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what’s the use?
Oh please
I bet everybody here is fake happy too
And if I go out tonight
Dress up my fears
You think I look alright with these
Mascara tears
See I’m gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low they’ll never see me frown
I know I said that I was doing good
And that I’m happy now
I shoulda known when things were going good
That’s when I’d get knocked down

3:37 > 3:44 "after laughter is about the look on people's faces when they're done laughing. if you watch somebody long enough, there's always this look that comes across their face when they're done smiling, and i always find it really fascinating to wonder what it is that brought them back to reallity. so that's what after laughter is."

I can't believe this didn't get a grammy. Such a Well written song.

[@11cylynt11]

Grammys are paid for by record labels. Similarly, movie and TV studios bribe judges for Oscar's and Emmy's. Just being nominated is good for business. We are told that these awards are the pinnacle achievement. And most people believe that. And that's why the big wigs bribe judges, in hopes of a greater return in sales. Watch the Adam Ruins Everything about award shows.

[@ZeroScapes]

The Mainstream doesn't like good music anymore

[@therockman6482]

She's not fat, black and naked enough to win a Grammy. Plus, she sings too well. She's more talented than T-Swift and most of the R & B singers IMO. Yes, she deserves more praise than she receives. That is correct. Maybe someday that will happen.

This is a song I come back to every few months when I'm feeling down. It reminds me that although I'm struggling, I'm not alone, and that I'll get through it. Hayley is such a role model for mental health and this song exemplifies it more than any other IMHO. Completely underrated song too. If you're out there and reading this: hang on - we'll all get through this together ❤️

Was that from the interview??

[@martinflatschacher3760]

Very true. As someone who falls into melancholic phases from time to time, welcoming your emotions, naming and honouring them is such a valuable tool. You develop a better gut feeling for what's good for you and what is not, therefore learning to balance your inner state

Segundo o Google é pra ter respeito pelos editores do video?por quê tu achas isso?

[@BigPat6521]

So much respect for her walking threw a city in that outfit! XD

[@juliocremasco2]

Acho que é pelo fato dos mesmo terem colocado um "emoji" em cada pessoa da cidade, o motivo disso, além da lógica do clipe de dizer que todos são falso-felizes (em uma tradução muito porca) é também pelo direito de imagem, se eles tivessem deixado o rosto de alguém a mostra, essa pessoa poderia denuncia-los por não terem autorizado a imagem dela no clipe. Eu acho que é isso. Ps: Na tradução da frase do guri ali, seria algo do tipo (Tenho muito respeito pelos editores desse vídeo).

[@ninanavina10]

What I find interesting conceptually about this video is that Hayley is dressed up as a mermaid would be on land. Which also lends itself to the "fish out of water" idea. She is an outcast in a world full of smiles.

[@FloMiBe]

Good point

[@immiwright7386]

Navina C hey did you rlly need to feel the need the stomp on my heart like that

[@immiwright7386]

Ardirestu Septiadi Halin me and you are interacting with different mermaids

[@indimcs]

i relate her outfit to the part of the songs that says "if i go out tonight, dress up my fears", she literally dressed up her fears, this was no easy thing for hayley to do, it's kinda like her trying to put on some type of mask on so she can blend in and fit in with others, trying to make everything that's underneath the mask look better.

[@immiwright7386]

indiana I guess you could also say that her ‘dressing up her fears’ is, essentially, her putting all her anxieties and worries and bad thoughts into beautiful lyrics for the rest of the world. Turning ugly thoughts into beautiful words.

[@sierradelta6524]

I love the dichotomy between the lyrics and the melody. Also, her face at the end says it all. Kind of heartbreaking.

[@peaches5540]

She copies how everyone else is behaving. It’s imitating. It’s what you do when your trying your hardest to mask the darkest depths of your soul. I understand this so much. I can’t even sing this song without becoming overcome with emotion. I cannot get the words out ❤️

[@Pwrcritter]

Body double

[@jasminewalter2454]

I think the video is great and really captures the deeper meaning of the lyrics. Just like the happy refrain of the melody, Hayley is seen as carefree - dancing around, but always with her back to the camera so you never see her face. She stands out among a sea of 'fake happy' anonymous robots. Then right at the end she turns and you realise she is fake happy- just like the rest of them. 'I bet everybody here is fake happy too'. So clever!

[@lovesickparamore14]

Jasmine Walter No better way to explain it than how you did. The concept is just so real

[@EatsUsedTP]

Her saying everyone is fake happy too is just false unless maybe she is using bloated standards of happiness, setting unattainable goals, or is maybe talking about something in the government, I am taking pride in everything I do knowing it is my action when I do something and mine alone.

[@lizardkingbabe4547]

in all its just a great video

[@luismendozac.5784]

Maybe this video and song reflects a lot of emotional feelings towards depression, so much that it reminds me when I was 24, now I'm 30. I just wanna to say to the beautiful and charismatic Hayley, really really 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH', I mean it sincerely. I realize that's life is so beautiful, although you can smile, cry, get angry, curse, it's simply life, your life. Regardless of what many people may think about it.

[@backtobluesides]

i really love how they started the video with the close up of her face and then it got blurred before closing up and then she turned around. it's really nice how the whole point of the video is to not see her face while she interacts with other people, other fake happy people. it feels kinda unsettling because you can't know the expression she's making nor you can know the expression the others made when they saw her and that pretty much sums up the meaning of the song, of how people hide beneath a mask of fake happiness. and then when it gets to the end and she turns around, you can see the tears track on her cheeks, that she's been crying all along and when she puts the mask on, like all the other people do, it's like she's putting the mask on for herself too, no longer being able to face that she's not really happy as she knows but the others don't.

[@tjsase]

This song definitely applies to my social anxieties. Who here wouldn't like the freedom to skip and dance anywhere without having to worry about random strangers and what they think of you... Fake happy is the norm, so it's hard to be as expressive as you want.

[@nathangriffin1173]

"fake happy" generally refers to how people try to put a smile on and stay optimistic, how tf are you going to feel better about dancing if no one feels obliged to treat you positively? And unless you typed that messaged from some backwards, third world country I'm pretty sure it's easier then it ever has been to be as expressive as you want. I don't get what your problem is?

[@apollonian8768]

to hayley and to the rest of the paramore, thank you for creating After Laughter. you helped me understand this mental state i'm in these past three years, which at first i can't put into words or even understand. i was able to relate deeeeeply with these songs and it helped me cope with my condition even if i was alone. i love you all.

[@TreDay6793]

This song is so deep for the whole world, we all judge ourselves whenever we feel anything uncomfortable (sadness,grief, anger, irritability etc.) and instead of feeling those emotions we run from them and put on a mask (fake happy) but the way healing works is different from what we’ve been taught, you have to feel to heal. No fake it til you make it, that just perpetuates what you’re not trying to feel.

[@nanaasmah938]

I WOULD LOVE THAT. Literally my favorite song from the album

[@pizleripe]

omg rlly

[@yaz8498]

Why did I randomly thought of this song and listen to it again only to cry?

[@user-hv1mi1fn9g]

Every track in the After Laughter album describes my mood for the past year.

[@sofapillow7660]

the montage from 3:28 - 3:37 leading into that last shot is phenomenal. Zac Farro directed this, he's the drummer for paramore, and i WISH he would direct more. this was wonderful

[@pedropohren]

Returning to Paramore was probably the best decision Zac has ever done in his life. Now only Jonas remains to return. But that would probably be a merge of utopic and... toxic to wish for. Unfortunately. :/

[@duhlaneysvlogs]

100% agree, i have always thought this

[@geraldgonzales4012]

He’s got the best view and wants to share ot

[@sublimezoe2810]

I am not sure if Paramore meant to do this, but this song, for me, speaks to the phenomenon that happens with people that suffer from depression/anxiety and are around people that do not. The song is saying, let me feel what I am feeling. Stop telling me to get better or be happy because it is not that easy. Stop down playing my mental illness because you do not suffer from it. Just let me cry a little bit longer.

[@Meredith.A]

Zoe Melody exactly..I cannot even begin to explain how true that statement is..my anxiety, OCd depression,. panic disorder and ADHD have just taken over my life. I've become not capable of actually living and I feel like a prisoner of these invisible bars keeping me from living. I've seen people that suffer from cancer have a better outlook and more positive than I am..it's really shitty when you are given life but cannot seem to execute it because your so trapped in your own head and unhappiness ..ugh the worst part is my own therapist said "just don't listen to the negative thoughts" it's so much more than that . the only person that really understand my circumstances is only myself. I hate when people say stupid shit like be more positive, bro no offense.but you truly don't know or feel what I am going thru emotionally it's unexplainable it's not a competition but only I am me and only I feel like this, I mean scientifically only I have this brain. but I do agree sometimes people relish in they're depression they almost embrace it and instead of getting better (because they have pry given up) they go the opposite way and almost make themselves more sick . even tho I have been on both sides of the spectrum I do not want to live this way it's not even living at this point . I am putting in effort but the truth is it takes so much work and usually it's not curable but it can become liveable which is my goal at this point

[@HAPPYDUCKize]

After Laughter captures this essence perfectly. You should give it a listen.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

If you don't think that Paramore didn't mean to write the album that way, you're not giving Hayley enough credit.

[@lythist1849]

Zoe Melody people who are saying she is faking depression probably have never experienced it before.

[@hayleygibbs5355]

Zoe Melody I agree. I totally relate to this song.

[@PositiveRaincloud]

Sat on my bed with my headphones since 14 years old listening to Misery Business on CD and still listening to their music. This band feels like home.

[@PositiveRaincloud]

This whole song is like the "how are you?" of music. No one is really asking you for a real answer. They just expect the generic answer.

[@ughdress7728]

I’m real happy that Paramore and I have grown up. Together.😭☺️

[@anilina8695]

It's sad that I can relate to this video. Many times I have found myself being fake happy in front of people when, in reality, I just want to escape that situation and be left alone. I know I'm not the only one that has felt this way and I admire every person that has put a fake happy face in order to keep going. If someone is reading this, I hope your life takes a better turn and to someday you do not have to pretend to be happy anymore.

Just goes to show how much of an effect feelings are, even when you're famous like Hayley. I've read countless comments that these songs are based on mental health. I'm learning more from Hayley day by day.

[@joshuavergara5186]

*Gentle reminder:* It’s not a sin to be negative sometimes. Constantly being positive is impossible and it’s exhausting to try, so even if everyone thinks you’re Mr/Mrs Sunshine, you don’t have to stay positive all day. You are permitted to stumble, you are permitted to be upset, and you are permitted to stop smiling, if it will make you feel better and make you free.

[@pinatapaws]

Joshua Vergara - it can be so difficult though, because if I ever feel like I'm not pleasing people and I'm being a bother or something I get very stressed and anxious. Like if I'm not making other people happy I don't have the right to be happy, it's weird and insensible but it just happens. I also tend to apologize for everything. Sorry.

“Optimism is being able to see the light in the darkness, not ignore the darkness”

[@emmascupoftae]

This video doesn’t need high production when it has Zack as a director. The emotion is absolutely pulsing through this interpretation of this song. It’s amazing to have the opportunity to see this peace of art. Love this video! This bands art is gorgeous.

[@roshanfey]

i couldn't have said it better myself.

[@lise1637]

zac's really done a lot for this era's aesthetic. the vibrance of their music, photoshoots, music videos, etc juxtaposes perfectly with the dark topics within the songs' lyrics

[@majammmmh]

kris i love how your comment before this was " *CRY HARD DANCE HARDER* " -

[@PicardSisko7]

I always hate when people tell me to smile or to cheer up. Maybe my face reflects how I feel and I don’t want to fake smile?

whos listening here for 2024 with me

[@endmysuffering8034]

This is like that one episode of the Simpson's where Lisa takes antidepressants called like ignoreital or something and see s the happy faces every where

[@lemmonlight___]

I like how it was shot from behind, giving her all the freedom not to make a fake happy face, and she could just wander around not having to think about that

[@peterbune]

I just realized this is Zac Farro's view of Haley, not only as the director of the video but playing drums behind her. 😊

[@Okwhateverloll]

Not one bad song from Paramore!😭❤️‍🔥

[@tanner1ie]

Aside from No Friend! 😯😂🩲😀🤘

[@Okwhateverloll]

@@tanner1ie just listened and you're correct😭

[@mallorynicole7355]

The whole point of the song is covering your unhappiness and putting on a show for people. Hayley herself has a lot of anxiety, as well, so I think that's why they had her dress so wildly and dance around the city in front of strangers. Most other people judge your appearance first rather than who you are personally, so maybe her pretending to be confident and content with herself is the direction they were trying to go with the vid. And then of course, at the end she is still sad and insecure on the inside amongst everyone else doing the same thing (just maybe not as evidently) and while they judge her, she knows that they are hiding their emotions the same way. Hope that made sense lol that's what I got from the video at least.

[@u_ebullience_r4747]

Oh, I thought so too. But, I also thought that the upside down faces on the strangers means " I bet everybody here is fake happy too"

[@firstforeignable]

Really well said👏🏼

[@tinaliu5055]

Mallory Nicole or she writing relatable songs to make a living regardless if she actually has anxiety or not

[@mallorynicole7355]

spinachdip yeah maybe, but inspiration for songs has to come from somewhere. Plus this one has a lot of deep meaning to it, if they just wanted a catchy song to pay the bills they would've written another "Still Into You" (no hate on that song tho, I love it lol)

One thing I like about Paramore is their unique music transitions. The notes are unexpected and are kind of new to ears. I like it. Plus, their songs are always catchy.

[@nicetomeecha]

I’m a high masking autistic woman and this might be my new anthem. Fake happy is like the only acceptable way to be in an allistic society, and boy is it exhausting.

[@onigiri2136]

I have been replaying this song and video for years so why am I just now noticing how perfect Hayley's figure is??

[@lisawilliams7978]

Just realised that all the public in the video has there face digitally covered with smiley faces, so they didn't have to get permission for each person for the mv. Very clever. Love the melody, the hard hitting lyrics and the amazing jumpsuit! Just got back from NYC for the first time. Very cool seeing her walk down the same streets I was in. Can't wait to see paramore here in Scotland in January :)

I've been applying this song to my life lately. At work, I greet customers and co-workers, but I don't mean it at all. Being nice to people is part of the job, but I just can't bring myself to care about any of them. But anything that helps my family pay bills and put food on the table.

[@rachelthompson6022]

Definitely how Hayley (probably) intended the song to be understood.
