The first wave of healing主打song 《You Are Not Truly Happy》 from Mayday's No.7 masterpiece 《Post-Adolescence Poem》 is the most heart-breaking song. From the first note of the soul-stirring string prelude, listeners are easily drawn into a vortex of their own inner world, involuntarily falling into the cold-blooded side that has been repressed for too long, falling into a story that belongs only to themselves. No one can understand, no one can tell, facing the hustle and bustle of the outside world, we still have to wear a forced smile, seemingly happy, but... "Am I truly happy?" This question mark is like the powerful chorus of this music, constantly spinning and strengthening, until the last note stops abruptly after a second, the mask finally shatters completely, and the repression is magically released!

This MV was directed by the renowned advertising director Chen Yuxun. The director employs his signature style of "crying while laughing," telling the story of a young man played by Guai Shou who makes a living on the streets by "telling jokes." His job is to pass on happiness to everyone in need. He hopes to repair each sad and incomplete heart through jokes. But like all of us who live in this ultra-unhappy world, this seemingly cheerful young man doesn't know where to find his true happiness? How long has it been since he laughed happily? How long has it been since he was truly happy? Although it seems like he can bring joy to others, he cannot fix his girlfriend with terminal illness, unable to make her truly happy. So, he continues day after day with a forced smile.

"You Are Not Truly Happy"

Music and Lyrics by A Xin

In the crowd, crying, you just want to become an invisible color

You will never dream or feel pain or palpitations again, you've already decided, you've already decided

You quietly endure, tightly holding yesterday in your clenched fist

And the sweeter the memories, the more they hurt

The deeper the scars left in your palm, crisscrossing, deep and shallow cuts

You are not truly happy, your smile is just a protective color you wear

You've decided not to hate anymore, and also decided not to love anymore

Lock your soul in a body that is forever locked

When the world laughs, so do you, fitting in with the crowd

When survival is the rule, not your choice
