What is the meaning behind Happy Birthday lyrics?

When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, the Altered Images rendition of the 'Happy Birthday' song utilizes the metaphor of a birthday festivity as a device to give insight on the different aspects (to be specific, memories and fears) of growing up. The darkness of nostalgia, innocence, and the line between the two are represented here through the echoing of 'happy birthday' and the imagery of taking a hot bath with a big cake. Overall, the song through its lyrics gives us a picture of celebration, joy, partying, love, and even nostalgia. Meanwhile, it also emphasizes the negative aspects of life, such as death, which are mainly reflection, and, therefore, the positive side of life, which is mainly empathy and connection. There are no inappropriate themes, language, or content in the lyrics that would be considered a problem by parents. They are suitable for all ages, with a focus on a theme of celebration and no mature elements.
