Is This Happiness

Recommended Posts

High up in the Hollywood hills

Taking violet pills

Writing all of my songs about my cheap thrills

You're a hard man to love

And I'm a hard woman to keep track of

 

You like to rage

Don't do that

You want your way

You make me so mad

Gotcha gun, I've got my dad

 

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

 

High up in the Hollywood hills

Crushing violet pills

You've been trying to write a novel 'bout your cheap thrills—

You think you're Hunter S. Thompson;

I think you're fucking crazy as the day's long.

 

Man to man, heart to heart

I love you but you drive me so far

Wish you well on that star

 

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

 

Witch hazel, witch hazel

Betrayal, betrayal

One gun on the table

Headshot if you're able

 

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

 

Mmmm... mmm...

Mmmm... mmm...

You've been trying to write a novel bout your cheap frills [?]

You think you're ... [?]

I think you're fucking crazy as the day's long

I'm not sure if she's actually saying "frills" or if she's saying "thrills" with her "heaven on earf wif you" pronunciation. I can't make out the next line. Phonetically I'm hearing something like "mama rails dumb son". Man, what is that line?

 

Witch hazel, witch hazel

Betrayal, betrayal

..

[?]

One gun on the table

Headshot if you're able

 

These lines make me think of the title of a Beatles song, "Happiness Is a Warm Gun".

On a side note, Hunter S. Thompson was also a writer that very much enjoyed blurring the lines between fact and fiction when portraying himself in his work, and also loved the idea of self-destruction. Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas are two of his many works.

Also, let's discuss how Barrie might look like a younger Hunter if he went bald and beardless (not that I ever want him to.)

Yes! This makes sense. Hunter S. Thompson died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

 

“No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt”

 

“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.”

 

“You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.”

Is this Lanalysis worthy? I think we've got that really dark theme Lana's been talking about with UV. If no one's seen it, they do now.
