This song is possibly about her ex partner Barrie-James O'Neil. Stated in an NME interview, Barrie explains that he was a burden for Lana:

[Verse 1]
High up in the Hollywood hills, taking violet pills
Writing all of my songs about my cheap thrills
You're a hard man to love and I'm
A hard woman to keep track of
[Pre-Chorus]
You like to rage, don't do that
You want your way, you make me so mad
Got your gun, I've got my dad
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
[Chorus]
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
[Verse 2]
High up in the Hollywood hills, crushing violet pills
You've been trying to write a novel about your cheap thrills
You think you're Hunter S. Thompson
I think you're fucking crazy as the day's long
[Pre-Chorus]
Man to man, heart to heart
I love you but you drive me so far
Wish you well on that star
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
[Chorus]
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
[Bridge]
Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel
Betrayal, betrayal
One gun on the table
Headshot if you're able
[Chorus]
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
Is this happiness?
[Outro]
Hm-hm-hm-hm
