this song is about how boring it can be to be happy all the time. if you are always happy, you begin to take it for granted, and thus the happiness becomes worthless. and so, as the band once commented, if you don't get depressed sometimes, you won't ever know how truly great life can be. at the same time, if you just let go of happiness because you're bored with it, it's incredibly difficult to just get back. and so there's the paradox, the catch-22 if you must. happiness can be bad if you have it non-stop, but if you let it go, it's really hard to get back.
