Purple Haze
Groove Armada; Nappy Roots Lyrics

Purple haze all in my brain

Lately things just don't seem the same

Actin' funny, but I don't know why
The songwriter's behavior has changed, but he is unable to identify the cause.

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
The environmental effects of the drugs are causing visual distortions and haziness.

Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
The songwriter is confused about whether he is experiencing a high or a low.

Am I happy or in misery?
The songwriter is unsure of his emotional state due to being under the influence.

What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me

Hammerin'

Talkin' 'bout heart 'n'...s-soul

I'm talkin' about hard stuff
The songwriter is referring to the intense and possibly dangerous psychotropic drugs he has ingested.

If everbodys still around, fluff and ease, if

So far out my mind

Somethings happening, somethings happening
The songwriter is undergoing a transformative experience that he cannot fully comprehend.

Ooo, ahhh

Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh

Don't know if its day or night

You got me blowin', blowin' my mind

Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Oh, help me

Purple haze, Tell me, baby, tell me

I can't go on like this

Purple haze

You're makin' me blow my mind...mama

Help me
