Days of Haze
TrunkWeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday feels so far away
but that's okay if I'm still sane.
All those days, spent stuck in a haze,
made me feel okay in my own pain.

Spinning in sound - away and around - from my old town.
Never looking back just hoping to keep on track.
Finding frames in time to recollect and rebuild senses from the mind that only made me blind.

Days of haze have always grounded life in grace.

There are times when you must decide
whether things are fine or in decline.

If fading away into a distant state
makes you feel okay, then daze for days.

Overall Meaning

The song "Days of Haze" by Trunkweed talks about the feeling of being stuck in the past and trying to move forward. The first line "Yesterday feels so far away" reflects the feeling of time passing and how memories can feel distant. However, the lyric "that's okay if I'm still sane" suggest that being stuck in the past might be a coping mechanism for the pain that lingers. The chorus "All those days, spent stuck in a haze, made me feel okay in my own pain" can be interpreted to mean that living in the past is an escape from dealing with present pain. The line "finding frames in time to recollect and rebuild senses from the mind that only made me blind" talks about the need to reframe the past in order to heal and see the present clearly.

The second verse starts with a reflection on the need to make a decision about whether things are fine or in decline. The lyric "If fading away into a distant state makes you feel okay, then daze for days" seems to suggest that sometimes it's okay to be stuck in the past as long as it helps in dealing with the present. The song ends on an open-ended note, leaving the listener to decide whether it's time to let go and move forward or continue living in the past.
