Hazy

Hey Violet's song "Hazy" delves into the complex emotions of self-doubt, insecurity, and the quest for identity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their past decisions and current state of mind. The opening lines, where the singer crushes a fortune cookie and contemplates a second chance, set the tone for a journey of introspection. The recurring question, "Oh my God, I'm questioning if I went wrong," highlights the internal struggle and the constant second-guessing that many people experience.

The chorus, with its repetition of "everything's hazy," captures the feeling of being stuck in a fog of uncertainty. The reference to singing a melody from when the singer was eighteen suggests a longing for simpler times or a more confident self. This nostalgia is juxtaposed with the present reality of feeling crazy and weak, emphasizing the contrast between past and present selves. The line "And the girl who made it, will it ever be me?" poignantly expresses the fear of not living up to one's own expectations or potential.

As the song progresses, the singer's determination to overcome these feelings becomes evident. Despite the insecurity and self-doubt, there's a resolve to keep trying, as seen in the lines "But I will try, I'll try it all over and over and over again." The desire to see things clearer and break free from the haze is a powerful message of resilience. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer questioning if they will ever become the person they aspire to be, leaving the listener with a sense of ongoing journey and self-discovery.
