10 Songs That Tricked You Into Thinking They're Happy

2. Wonderful - Everclear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUfgAbFY4CA Another great rock song that plays on the misery that can happen in a child's life - even the song's title is misleading. The use of the term 'wonderful' is used to recall the times when your parents sold you the old lie that everything will be wonderful eventually, just to appease or quieten you down. The song charts a story many kids will be familiar with - the story of divorce and the way this made you feel as a kid. The lyrics describe the anger at the lies being told, the way you are treated as a commodity and the fact that is has and will change your life.

"Go to my room and I close my eyes, I make believe I have a new life, I don't believe you when you say, Everything will be wonderful someday..."
