Cut The Cord
Black Honey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drop dead cut the cord
I'm waging a war
There's blood up the walls
So don't say you not warned

Wanted dead or alive
Just stacking the lies
Both triggered in time
Gonna lose the fight

I disassociate from the feeling
Kick the fuck off as you try to reach me
You open my hand and my palms are bleeding
And my head's still reeling

So don't ever wake me up
Cause I tried to make you go
And sleep you off my mind
I'd push the sky away if it was mine
I can't deny there's nobody else
There's nobody else

Death trap on the ward
Full rage out in force
Security called
Yeah we've been here before

Cuckoo flew to the ground
Haunted nest for a house
Sure you want this around?
I'm shit scared of the crowd

I disassociate from the feeling
Kick the fuck off as you try to reach me
You open my hand and my palms are bleeding
And my head's still reeling

So don't ever wake me up
Cause I tried to make you go
And sleep you off my mind
I'd push the sky away if it was mine
I can't deny there's nobody else
There's nobody else

So don't ever wake me up
Cause I tried to make you go
And sleep you off my mind
I'd push the sky away if it was mine




I can't deny there's nobody else
There's nobody else

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Black Honey's song "Cut the Cord" suggest a feeling of conflict and desperation. The opening line, "Drop dead cut the cord," can be interpreted as a call to end a toxic or unhealthy relationship. The singer feels like they are fighting a battle, with "blood up the walls," possibly symbolizing the emotional toll that the relationship has taken on them. The warning not to say they haven't been warned implies that the singer has reached a breaking point and is ready to sever ties.


The second verse further explores the turmoil in the singer's mind. The line "Wanted dead or alive" suggests that they feel trapped in a situation where they are expected to conform to certain expectations or play a role that isn't authentic to them. The phrase "stacking the lies" implies a buildup of deceit or falsehoods, potentially between the singer and their partner. The mention of being triggered in time and losing the fight hints at the ongoing struggle within themselves and the possibility of succumbing to defeat in the relationship.


The chorus reveals a sense of detachment from emotions. The line "I disassociate from the feeling" suggests a coping mechanism where the singer disconnects from their own emotions. They describe pushing someone away as they try to reach them, and their hand being bloody suggests pain or hurt inflicted by the relationship. Despite their attempt to distance themselves, their head is still reeling, indicating the lingering impact of the tumultuous situation.


The chorus's repeated refrain of "So don't ever wake me up" signifies the singer's desire to remain detached and avoid facing the reality of the situation. They acknowledge their attempt to make the person go and remove them from their thoughts, expressing a longing to push away everything associated with the relationship. The mention of pushing the sky away signifies an extreme desire to control or change their surroundings, even if it seems impossible. The final line emphasizing that there is nobody else reinforces a sense of loneliness or isolation, suggesting that the singer feels alone in their struggle. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of conflict, desperation, and a longing to break free from an unhealthy relationship.
