Lavender Haze Lyrics
Meet me at midnight
[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling with you
Oh, you don't ever say too much
And you don't really read into
My melancholia
[Pre-Chorus]
I been under scrutiny (Yeah, oh, yeah)
You handle it beautifully (Yeah, oh, yeah)
All this shit is new to me (Yeah, oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Verse 2]
All they keep asking me (All they keep asking me)
Is if I'm gonna be your bride
Thе only kinda girl they see (Only kinda girl they see)
Is a one-night or a wifе
I find it dizzying (Yeah, oh, yeah)
They're bringing up my history (Yeah, oh, yeah)
But you weren't even listening (Yeah, oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
I feel the lavender haze creepin' up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Post-Chorus]
That lavender haze
[Bridge]
Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk (Get it off my desk)
Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk
I feel (I feel), the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal (No deal)
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Outro]
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk
That lavender haze
I just wanna stay
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
About
Lavender Haze by KRGKGM is a cover of Taylor Swift’s song that seems to explore themes of escape, self-acceptance, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The song suggests a desire to find solace in a dream-like state represented by the metaphorical “lavender haze.”
In the verses, the narrator expresses a sense of comfort and connection with someone who doesn’t demand too much from them or try to analyze their feelings too deeply. This person becomes a source of stability amidst the narrator’s melancholic thoughts.
The pre-chorus explores the narrator’s experience of being scrutinized by others and how their newfound vulnerability in a relationship contrasts with their past. The line “All this shit is new to me” implies a departure from their previous emotional guardedness.
The chorus reflects the narrator’s yearning to distance themselves from societal pressures and expectations. They resist giving importance to what others say about them, expressing a desire to remain in the “lavender haze” rather than comply with outdated views of femininity symbolized by the 1950s.
In the second verse, the narrator implies that others judge their suitability for a committed relationship based on stereotypes, reducing them to either a one-night stand or a potential wife. This highlights the objectification they face and their frustration at not being seen as their authentic self.
The bridge further emphasizes the need for personal liberation and the disregard for public judgment. The lines “Talk your talk and go viral, I just need this love spiral” suggest a preference for genuine emotional connections rather than seeking validation through social media or external opinions.
The song’s repeated post-chorus phrase emphasizes the desire to release burdens, both emotional and societal. The outro brings the focus back to the desired state of the “lavender haze,” indicating a longing to stay in this dream-like realm.
Overall, Lavender Haze can be interpreted as a plea for personal autonomy, freedom from societal expectations, and the pursuit of genuine connections and self-acceptance.
