Trees Lounge
Hayden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit here in Trees Lounge
Pour it in my mouth
I Need something to forget
What got me in this mess

I'm feeling less and less
My Judgment is not clear
I do things that I fear,
I would never do

Sit here in Trees Lounge
Order one more round
You have a pretty name,
Pretty like your name

Lets play a drinking game
And If I win I get to,
Take you home and if you,
Win, you go home with me

'Cause I need something to forget,
What got me in this mess
Feeling less and less
My judgment is not clear




I do things that I fear,
I would never do

Overall Meaning

The song "Trees Lounge" by Hayden is a poignant depiction of a person drowning their sorrow and trying to forget their problems through alcohol. The lyrics speak of a disheartened individual who is sitting in Trees Lounge and drinking heavily to get rid of the thoughts that are plaguing them. The line "pour it in my mouth" emphasizes the desperation of the character who is looking for a quick escape. The singer is searching for something to forget the reasons that led them to this low point in their life. They feel lost and unable to make clear decisions, as their judgment is clouded by their heavy drinking.


As the song progresses, the singer meets someone new, and the lyrics become increasingly suggestive. The lines "You have a pretty name, pretty like your name" and "let's play a drinking game, and if I win I get to, take you home and if you, win, you go home with me" suggest that the singer is using alcohol as a means of seduction. They are so desperate for a connection that they are willing to risk doing things they would never do sober. The lyrics of the song effectively highlight the consequences of using alcohol as an escape route from life's troubles.


Overall, the song "Trees Lounge" is a haunting portrayal of the destructive nature of alcohol and its ability to cloud judgment and lead to regrettable actions. The song is a perfect example of how music can capture the emotional complexity of the human experience.

Nostalgic Music... the kind that opens up old wounds and healed wounds Good times and memories of a care free youth... Growing up too fast and wishing this world would get a grip and everyone would look after each other!! 90’s music was awesome and i wish i’d appreciated it more now. Most music today sucks so bad... Hurry up and invent the time machine!! Bring back this music and these cool videos!! Amen

We were lucky enough to have been there. Things are always changing, but we were unfortunate for things to change much more quickly than previous generations. Now everything's a mess but we can always come back here to Trees Lounge for a moment and relax.

One of my favorite Hayden songs. LOVE his first 4 albums and still enjoy the rest. Fantastic movie too. I have it on VHS 😃 Steve Buscemi is the effing man

I need to meet people that like this movie (and Hayden, for that matter) the same way that I do, and not because I encouraged them or showed them how I like it. How can we make this movie more popular so that this can happen?

It’s a hidden gem of a movie. I have shown it to a friend and my wife who both enjoyed it.

@Ry Line my moms whole side of the family is from Long Island and this movie hits so nicely for me ❤️

@Jay Peterson Hi there! Movies like this will never be popular because it encourages viewers to look in the mirror. lot of people just want distractions. The time period this came out in was a very special time for me and I'm glad you have love for it as well.
