âWhatâs It Like To Be Happyâ is a song that began as an ironic question in an OF VIRTUE writing session and became a much deeper reflection on what it means to build meaningful peace during even the lowest moments of your life.
ââWhat Itâs Like To Be Happyâ is written about mental health,â tyler ennis says simply. âItâs
written about the trials and tribulations of trying to find what happiness is to you. Going through the motions, feeling depressed, feeling like those things that maybe you have enjoyed in the past, you donât enjoy anymore.
He adds, âI think we all get caught up in where we want to be, not where we are right in this moment. And a lot of the reason why we do that, of course, is because we donât want to be in this moment. We want to feel better. We want to feel good. But you canât until you sit with your feelings, until you sit with your thoughts, and you take these issues, problems, and battles that you deal with every day head-on. Then youâre going to walk away from that situation better off because you stood up for yourself.â
