The fact that this song is called "Is this happiness?" and then later she released "happiness is a butterfly" reminds we about that one meme with the guy saying "is this ..." to the butterfly

One of her most underrated songs

[@ZornAllein]

Probably because it's not on Spotify and unless you're aware that there's an extended version of Ultraviolence out there, you wouldn't know of it's existence. Which is just fucking tragic. Seriously, there are so many killer b-sides and unreleased LDR songs out there...

[@converseland1639]

[@tulangkerangka1599]

'You think youre hunter s thompson i think youre fucking crazy' is the sickest burn lmao

[@siren8811]

I've always interpreted this song in two ways, one is that she's asking if this, what she's feeling, is what people call happiness, something she's never experienced before. My other interpretation is that she's asking whether this, this happiness that everyone's been raving about, whether this is all there is to it. Along the lines of dismay, of "is that it?"

[@frankraphael6007]

I always thought of the latter everytime I sing this song.

[@snowhitechristmas]

Whenever I hurt myself I think of her line " you like to rage, don't do that"... 😖

[@JLR221]

The lyrics suggest her questioning the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood illusion. Is this happiness? The easy access to drugs.. the sadness and loneliness behind the fame. I love this song so much and I have loved it for a very long time. It is haunting yet stunning. But cannot help to think it is the quite the opposite of happiness. I freaking love ya LDR. Your poetry is next level and conveyed so beautifully as always.

[@chrisdutkiewicz5440]

this song is too good for it to get such low recognition💞💞 the bird chirps, the high volume backing vocals, the instrumental, how the production progressively gets more and more intense, and most importantly... THE GOD DAMN LYRICS/POETRY!!! the way she rhymes “hollywood hills” with “violet pills” is pure genius😑☝️

[@flaviuswestfall1718]

ok but imagine this as the ending credits tracks for that episode of euphoria where cassie screams "i have never ever been happier"

[@Barbaradelrey]

this is SO Euphoria girlies

[@inesbeggas9301]

I feel like this song is about her mother. The line when she added ´ I got my dad ´ made me think it was her because she actually she mentioned how her mom used to rage at her in ´ Wildflower Wildfire ‘

[@jennmichelle6736]

I thought so too but she says “you’re a hard man to love”

[@minimalistvlogger3467]

It might be in a way because they often say in relationships we go after the person who reminds us most of our most difficult parent, which in this case would be her mother

[@arenasrblx]

Because of how hurt she was, she doesn't know what real love and happiness is.

[@carlos-qf6vt]

is that why in the bridge she mentions “which is it? Which is it?”

[@pastelsky1]

This is poetry ❤️

[@natoaslamadze2316]

Who thinks that this song should've been in Honeymoon, not in Ultraviolence, cause it throws Honeymoon vibes

[@tylerdurden7172]

[@natoaslamadze2316]

@@tylerdurden7172 Yeah, it has "NFR!" vibes too

[@kyle-tg7bi]

omg I could see this in honeymoon. but it also fits with uv imo

[@j.e.s.v.s]

Everyone has its aura, this belongs in UV. The simplistic lyrics, cynical treatment of the narrative, the minimalistic landscape sounds with a devastating topic. This is a really violent topic covered within innocent romanticism. Honeymoon is more mature, more intellectual and less emotional than uv. This feels like one of the last breaths of the freedom of a teenager, selfish, and honeymoon is more social, more historical, introspective yet meditated. I prefer uv even though hm looks more ambitious, because she achieved the balance in UV to make it feel atemporal. Lfl, nfr, etc. never reached that middle-point and will fall in time.
