In a world filled with complexities and challenges, "Happy Pills" seems to explore the theme of escapism. The song's protagonist uses medication as a coping mechanism to maintain an illusion of constant happiness, despite his struggles with love and life. The repetitive 'la la la' could signify his attempts to drown out reality or unpleasant thoughts. Furthermore, the line "we take strange things to feel normal" underscores society's tendency to seek artificial means for emotional stability. However, the song also subtly questions whether such temporary fixes are worth their cost - both in terms of relationships and personal well-being.
