Please pick up the fucking phone
Why you MIA?
Don′t want you to be alone
If you're feeling crazy
Tell me something I don′t know, yeah
I don't know, yeah
Call me back
Hazel, you know I got you
Even when I'm at the top
I will never drop you
I will never hold you back
I could never stop you
But you′re acting like you′re somebody else
Like you're losing yourself
Just call me back, just call me back, back, back
I don′t wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something′s going on (something's going on)
Something′s feeling wrong (something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won't be your enemy
You′ve gotta open up (you′ve gotta open up)
If something's going on (if something′s going on)
Hazel, why you lying?
Hanging with those other people
You're not like them
We both know you′ve got your demons
Don't try to hide them
And no good can come from staying up all night, yeah
Feeling for that, uh
You′re drowning, it's eating me away
You found that there's pleasure in the pain
Oh, it′s eating me away
Finding pleasure in the pain
I don′t wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something′s going on (something's going on, yeah, yeah)
Something′s feeling wrong (something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won′t be your enemy
You've gotta open up (you've gotta open up)
If something′s going on (if something′s going on, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Something's going on (something′s going on)
Something's feeling wrong (something′s feeling wrong)
Hazel, are you stable?
Please pick up the fucking phone
Why you MIA?
Don't want you to feel alone
And if you miss me
Tell me something so I know, yeah
Just so I know
I don′t wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something's going on (something′s going on)
Something′s feeling wrong (something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won′t be your enemy
You've gotta open up (you′ve gotta open up)
If something's going on (if something′s going on)
Something's going on
Something's feeling wrong (it′s feeling, it′s feeling, it's feeling, it′s feeling wrong)
In Carlie Hanson's song "Hazel," the singer reaches out to someone named Hazel who appears to be going through a difficult time. The lyrics convey concern and a desire to support Hazel in her struggles. The opening lines ask if Hazel is stable and urge her to answer the phone, highlighting the singer's worry and impatience due to her disappearance. The line "Don't want you to be alone" expresses the singer's fear of Hazel isolating herself during her challenging moments. The singer encourages Hazel to confide in her and share her inner turmoil, emphasizing that she is there for her.
The chorus reassures Hazel that the singer will always be there for her, even when the singer achieves success or rises to the top. The singer promises not to hold Hazel back or hinder her journey, but rather to support her and never let her go. It seems that Hazel may be struggling with her identity, as the lyrics suggest she is acting like someone else, possibly losing herself in the process. The repetition of "Just call me back, back, back" emphasizes the singer's longing for Hazel's communication and connection.
The second verse continues the plea for openness and honesty. The singer doesn't want to lose Hazel and yearns to know what she is going through. The lyrics imply that something is amiss and not feeling right, and the singer insists that Hazel can trust her and share anything without fear of becoming enemies. The message is clear that Hazel needs to open up about what's troubling her if she wants support, as the line "If something's going on" suggests that there is an ongoing issue.
The bridge addresses Hazel's apparent deceit or dishonesty. The singer questions why Hazel is lying and associating with certain people, suggesting that they are not a good influence on her. The lyrics acknowledge that Hazel battles her own demons and should not try to conceal them. The lines "You′re drowning, it's eating me away" imply that Hazel's struggles are weighing heavily on the singer's own emotions. The phrase "finding pleasure in the pain" suggests that Hazel may be engaging in self-destructive behavior.
The reiteration of the chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to maintain a connection with Hazel and avoid losing her. The singer again encourages Hazel to share what she is going through and assures her that anything can be discussed without fear of becoming enemies. The lyrics reinforce the need for Hazel to open up and emphasize the singer's willingness to provide support and understanding.
Overall, "Hazel" portrays the singer's deep concern for someone named Hazel who may be experiencing personal struggles and engaging in self-destructive behavior.
