The Lyrics:
Under the sunlight we shine
Where long days untwine
Hold the future wide open
Leave it all behind (-hind)
Our minds go blank
Turning thoughts into lies
Now it’s soothing, it’s right
It’s growing inside, you feel it now, feel it now, eh
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Under the sunlight we shine
And long days untwine
Hold the future wide open
Leave it all behind (-hind)
Our minds go blank
Turning thoughts into light
As we set it right
We are growing inside, you feel it now, feel it now, eh
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
I know you want it this way
I know you want it this way
I know you want it this way
I know you want it this way
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze
Caught in the haze (caught in the-)
The lyrics of “Haze” paint a vivid picture of being caught in a state of confusion and uncertainty. The repetition of the phrase “Caught in the haze” reinforces the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape. The mention of sunlight and long days untwining suggest a desire for clarity and a fresh start, leaving the past behind.
Additionally, the line “Our minds go blank, Turning thoughts into lies” highlights the struggle we often face when our thoughts become clouded and we start to lose touch with reality. However, the song offers a glimmer of hope with the phrase “It’s growing inside, you feel it now, feel it now.” This suggests that despite the confusion and haze, there is a sense of inner growth and realization.
The repetitive chorus is both haunting and captivating, emphasizing the entrapment in the haze. It serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of uncertainty and the longing to break free from it.
Personal Reflection:
As my wife and I listened to “Haze” together, it evoked deep emotions within us. The song reminded me of the times when life feels overwhelming, and clarity seems out of reach. There have been moments when I felt stuck in a haze, unsure of which path to take or how to make sense of my thoughts.
However, NIHILS’ poignant lyrics reminded me that growth and self-discovery often come from these challenging situations. It encouraged me to embrace the uncertainty and trust that clarity will eventually emerge.
“Haze” by NIHILS is a powerful reminder that it’s okay to feel lost at times. It encourages self-reflection and the willingness to confront our doubts and fears. The song’s raw emotion and relatable lyrics make it a cathartic experience for anyone who has ever found themselves caught in the haze of life.
