Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone save me
Now one for free
Now glory days will slip away
Forbidden lines in purple, purple haze
Now one for free
Now one for free
From other sides, my world collides
These drowning ways in purple, purple haze
Now one for free
Someone save me
The lyrics of Moya Brennan's song Purple Haze are shrouded in a veil of mystery and ambiguity. At its core, the song seems to be about the feeling of being lost and the desire for someone to save the singer. The repetition of the lines "now one for free, someone save me" emphasizes the urgency and desperation that the singer feels.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of the transience of glory days, which will eventually slip away. The "forbidden lines in purple, purple haze" can be interpreted in different ways, perhaps as a reference to drugs or as an expression of confusion and disorientation. The drowning ways in the purple haze reinforce this sense of being overwhelmed and lost.

Now one for free
I need a favor without any cost
Someone save me
I'm feeling helpless and I need assistance
Now glory days will slip away
My good times are quickly disappearing
Forbidden lines in purple, purple haze
I am tempted by something that is potentially dangerous
From other sides, my world collides
The different aspects of my life are clashing
These drowning ways in purple, purple haze
I feel overwhelmed and trapped by my own actions
Now one for free
I still need that favor without any cost
Someone save me
I'm still feeling helpless and I still need assistance
