This is Happiness Lyrics
pleasure comes in all disguises
to each their own their devices
if'n you need anything at all
i have the range of different advises
a treasure chest to keep you biting
adrenaline souls looking for the rush
that was my favorite new york
you are the sea so i dive in you
yeah
this is happiness
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
never thought it would come to this
(woohoo)
never thought we'd get so far down
last time i felt this good
she was the fire i was the wood
i love your mouth
i love all your breath
that was my favorite new york
you are the sea so i dive in you
yeah
this is happiness
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
never thought it would come to this
(woohoo)
never thought we'd get so far down
you make me so much better
i hope i don't make you worse
i'll meet you somewhere in there
if you get there first
where have you been
that was my favorite new york
you make me so much better
i hope i don't make you worse
i'll meet you somewhere in there
if you get there first
where have you been
where have you been
where have you been
that was my favorite new york
this is happiness
(woohoo)
this is happiness
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
(dig yourself right back)
dig yourself right back out
outta my mind again
outta my face again
outta my head again
outta this world again
outta the place i'm in
outta the state i'm in
outta the car i'm in
outta the skin i'm in
outta my mind again
outta my mind again
outta my mind again
to each their own their devices
if'n you need anything at all
i have the range of different advises
a treasure chest to keep you biting
adrenaline souls looking for the rush
you are the sea so i dive in you
yeah
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
never thought it would come to this
(woohoo)
never thought we'd get so far down
she was the fire i was the wood
i love your mouth
i love all your breath
you are the sea so i dive in you
yeah
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
never thought it would come to this
(woohoo)
never thought we'd get so far down
i hope i don't make you worse
i'll meet you somewhere in there
if you get there first
where have you been
i hope i don't make you worse
i'll meet you somewhere in there
if you get there first
where have you been
where have you been
where have you been
(woohoo)
this is happiness
(woohoo)
dig yourself right back out
(dig yourself right back)
dig yourself right back out
outta my face again
outta my head again
outta this world again
outta the place i'm in
outta the state i'm in
outta the car i'm in
outta the skin i'm in
outta my mind again
outta my mind again

one of my favs. on wanderlust.
the guitar riff is almost a direct ripoff of institute's 'information age'. take a listen.
sounds like a love song, but i see it differently. after gavin wrote this album, he presented the demos to the original members of bush. they turned it down saying it wasnt very bush-esque.
i think gavin may of written this song after that. he's saying wether it be with bush,institute, or just by himself, happiness is making music.
"this is happiness dig yourself right back out never thought it would come to this "
he just never thought it would come down to him doing it solo.
"never thought we'd get so far down"
he never thought he would get so distanced from bush that his sound wasnt bush enough anymore.
"that was my favorite new york you are the sea so i dive in you yeah "
shot in the dark, but maybe New York symbolizes fame. his favorite fame came from bush. so he wanted to dive back into bush.
"last time i felt this good she was the fire i was the wood i love your mouth i love all your breath"
last time he felt this good, he was in bush. the following lines all confirm this as they are all plays on previous bush lyrics. (Land of the Living, Mouth, Machinehead)
"you make me so much better i hope i don't make you worse i'll meet you somewhere in there if you get there first where have you been where have you been where have you been "
simply put. a message to bush.
"outta my mind again outta my face again outta my head again outta this world again outta the place i'm in outta the state i'm in outta the car i'm in outta the skin i'm in outta my mind again"
another bush play on things. "Out of this world"
I remember reading Gavin wrote this song basically as one of those times in life where you feel everything is perfect and just going okay and great for you and that truly is happiness. You're wondering why and where this happiness came from to make you feel like this, but you're allowing yourself to just dig and dive in and enjoy it for what it is and it just overwhelms you that you love it. I believe his fav NY was suppose to be a moment of his when he went to NY which was a fav place of his and everything was going perfect for him that day, like finding the right parking at the exact right time.
