Purple Haze
JimiHendrixExperience Lyrics

Purple haze, all in my brain
I am experiencing an altered state of mind, possibly due to drug use, where everything seems to be covered in a purple haze.

Lately things they don't seem the same
Recently, my perception of reality has changed, and things that used to be familiar seem different.

Actin' funny, but I don't know why
I am behaving in an unusual and unpredictable way, but I am not sure what is causing it.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky
I am so euphoric and consumed by this experience that I feel the need to express it by reaching up to touch the sky.

Purple haze, all around
The purple haze continues to surround me, making everything in my environment seem surreal.

Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
I am unsure if I am experiencing a high or a low, or if my perception of reality is shifting between the two.

Am I happy or in misery?
My emotional state is unclear and constantly shifting, causing me to question whether I am feeling positive or negative emotions.

What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me
I am attributing my altered state of mind to a woman who has had a profound effect on me, perhaps by introducing me to drugs or causing me emotional distress.

Help me
I am overwhelmed by my experience and feel like I need assistance in navigating it.

Ooh, ah
These sounds represent the sensations I am feeling in response to the purple haze.

Purple haze all in my eyes
The purple haze is affecting not only my mind, but also my visual perception, making it difficult to see clearly.

Don't know if it's day or night
My sense of time has been warped by the purple haze, making it impossible for me to differentiate between day and night.

You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
This experience is so intense that it feels like my mind is being blown apart by it.

Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
My altered state is so profound that it feels like time has become irrelevant and is either moving too fast or not at all.

Ahh, yeah, yeah, purple haze
I am continuing to express my wonder and fascination with the purple haze.

Oh, no, oh
I am experiencing emotional distress as a result of this experience.

Tell me, tell me, purple haze
I am continuing to seek answers and understanding about the purple haze.

I can't go on like this
The intensity of this experience is becoming overwhelming and I am unsure if I can continue to handle it.

(Purple haze) you're makin' me blow my mind
I am attributing the intense experience to the purple haze itself, which I believe is causing me to lose control of my mind.

Purple haze, n-no, no
Even though I am fascinated by the purple haze, I am also experiencing fear and uncertainty because of it.
