Haze Lyrics

Untie the hands that bind your mind
And be nice, she put a gun against her ear
Inside, against a gin and tonic sky
She's a star, she finds a place to lose her pain

Chorus
Caged as she waits inside
Hate and she wants to die
And she wants, and she wants to live

Deny, the problem never catches light
Rewind, she pours herself some self respect

Chorus

She wants, she wants to live
She wants
She wants, she wants to live
Away from this haze
Away back from this haze

Still she's caged as she waits inside
Hate and she wants to die
And she wants, and she wants to live
She wants to live
Caged as she waits inside
Hate and she wants to die
Get me back from this haze
Get me back from this haze
Get me back from this haze

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

basically, it's a poor girl with a lot of issues...she drinks, she's depressed, people love her but she still feels inferior due to a lack of self-esteem. She wants so badly to kill herself, whether it be 'accidentally' or otherwise, but when it comes down to it, she doesn't really have the courage or motivation to do it, she knows she would regret it. She's hoping in vain someone is there to help and understand her situation, but she won't tell anyone, so...?. I have a theory it's a 'lady of the night' as the song even itself has that kinda "bom chicka wah wah" porno beat to it.

Sounds like she's just got a problem with alcohol - thus 'haze' and 'gin and tonic sky'.

The bridge in this song is awesome.
