You can call me a slu*t, you can call me a liar.
I got so many names now, I can't even deny it.
You can call me a thief, and put up a fight, and bury me six feet under the ground.
But if you think I look mad today, you should have seen me yesterday.
You can call me a beauty, you can call me a beast, but it's nobodys business, what I do or please.

This song is from me to you. You make me mad and you make me blue.
You're looking like I do, you know I can see you.

We dance to the same groove, but I've got the right moves.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving in.
I hope you're satisfied with your bullsh*t and your lies.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving up.
I hope you're satisfied, can't bury me alive.

They call me a slu*t, they call me a liar.
I got so many names now, I can't even deny it.
They call me a thief, they put up a fight.
So bury me six feet, under the ground.

So this song is from me to you. You make me mad and you make me blue.
You're looking like I do, you know I can see you.
We dance to the same groove, but I've got the right moves.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving in.
I hope you're satisfied with your bullsh*t and your lies.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving up.
I hope you're satisfied, can't bury me alive.

Ha Ha Haha

Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving in.
I hope you're satisfied with your bullsh*t and your lies.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving up.

I hope you're satisfied, f*ck you and f*ck your lies.
Ooohhooohhhoohhhoooohhhh Yeah come'on Haha aaiiiihh


Overall Meaning


The lyrics to the song "Hope You" by The Sounds, are a defiant message from the singer to someone who has called them names and tried to bury them under their lies and deceit. The opening lines describe the various names the singer has been called, including "slu*t," "liar," and "thief", but they refuse to be defined by these labels. The chorus emphasizes the singer’s determination not to be defeated by their opponent's attempts to bring them down, with lines like "Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving up" and "Hope you're satisfied, can't bury me alive". The song ends with a dismissive "f*ck you and f*ck your lies" that proves the singer's resilience.

The song has a fierce and empowering message about standing up for oneself, refusing to let others define you, and never giving up, no matter how hard someone tries to bring you down. The repeated "Hope you're happy now" line adds a layer of sarcasm and snark, indicating that the singer knows their opponent's tactics will ultimately lead to their own misery.

Overall, "Hope You" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has had to navigate difficult relationships or situations and serves as a reminder to stay strong and fight back against those who seek to undermine you.
