The lyrics of the song “The Lion” by Honey is Cool are quite cryptic and leave room for interpretation. The song starts with the singer mentioning that she is going with someone she loves to the market square to see what’s new. The person she is with is referred to both as her ‘honey’ and as her ‘lord’ which are both endearing words. This person is above her in some way or another, possibly referring to a power dynamic or a sense of admiration.
The chorus repeats the phrase “My lord is a lion, my love is a lion too!” twice, which could be interpreted in different ways. Lions are commonly recognized as symbols of strength and power, so the person the singer is with could be seen as a powerful, dominant force in her life. Alternatively, the lion imagery could be interpreted as symbolizing something ferocious and wild, which could be seen as a reference to the intensity of the singer’s love.
Overall, the meaning of the song remains somewhat enigmatic, but the lyrics convey a strong sense of passion and devotion towards someone the singer admires and loves deeply.

I love Karin. I realize how similar her voice is to Cyndi Lauper in this song. Really neat since one of her biggest inspirations growing up was Cyndi.

the sound of this reminds me a bit of Fight Like Apes, so odd hearing it with this beat. imagine a rework, slowed down and fever ray's rhythm, now try and imagine what a the knife rework would sound like.
