Happy Pills Lyrics

Cover art for Happy Pills lyrics by Weathers

I think happy pills either refers to antidepressants or ecstasy. He takes his pills and he’s happy all the time because either it’s an exaggeration of being the opposite of depressed, or because it’s the side effect of ecstasy. His girl ain’t worth the price because either she’s making him feel worse (Eg. She’s a gold digger, she’s abusive, ect), or because he’s wasted all his money and time in ecstasy.

From here on out I’m solely focused on the antidepressant angle, rather than the ecstasy angle.

“Hang out in my bedroom/lose your honour” - id assume, possibly because his depression, he has a low reputation, not helped by the act of cheating, so having sex with him would make one “lose [their] honour”. “Even if they find us, we’re apathetic” - a common thing with depression or even some antidepressants. He doesn’t really care about his reputation anymore, but he still has his apathy.

“The voices in the right brain are kinda funny” - he’s trying to be positive, but it’s a struggle (“they tell me take a deep breath, it’s alway sunny”) He feels like his life is plain and boring due to his depression.

“We take strange things to feel normal” - it’s considered “abnormal” to take drugs to feel somewhat normal. People consider the medication to be “strange things”. But taking them makes him feel somewhat normal.
