This is a 3-panel meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format.

The third panel shows a heavily distorted, unsettling black and white version of Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'meaning behind the lyrics', which jokes about how many upbeat, pleasant-sounding songs actually have extremely dark, sad, or heavy underlying meanings that ruin the lighthearted listening experience once you understand the full context of the lyrics.
