Black Honey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a record machine sways my body
And I don't love nobody else the way I do
He sways his body to the floor
He swings his hips to the radio
So say the line and hold me close
Let's float away to the other world
Daylight in your eyes
The bottle ends but it tastes like the sun
We sway again as we sing along
We're spiralling into the dawn
You make my head spin honey
Like a record machine sways my body
And I don't love nobody else the way I do
Dat da da, da da da, da da da x2
So let me transform back to Earth
Drive me by the one, I'm cursed
We're spirallin' through old world days
Let's take it back to you and me
We'll wait for daylight in your eyes
The bottle ends but it tastes like the sun
We sway again as we sing along
We're spiralling into the dawn
You make my head spin honey
Like a record machine sways my body
And I don't love nobody else the way I do x 2
Dat da da, da da da, da da da x2
Head spin honey yeah
The lyrics to Black Honey's song Headspin depict a love that is all-encompassing and intoxicating. The singer is completely enthralled by their lover, who has the power to make their head spin and their body sway like a record machine. The imagery of the swaying body is a metaphor for the deep, physical and emotional connection between the two lovers. The singer declares their love for their partner, insisting that they don't love anyone else the way they love them.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repetition of the phrase "You make my head spin honey" emphasizing the overwhelming nature of their feelings. The use of the term "honey" adds a sense of sweetness and endearment to the declaration of love.
The verses of the song describe the physicality of the couple's love, with references to the way they dance together and the taste of the alcohol they drink. The line "Let's float away to the other world" suggests a desire to escape from reality and enter a space that is entirely their own.
Overall, the lyrics to Headspin capture the intense and all-consuming nature of love, and the power it has to make us lose ourselves in another person.

You make my head spin honey
You cause me to feel dizzy and lose control of my thoughts and emotions, my dear
Like a record machine sways my body
You move me in a rhythmic way, just like a record machine does
And I don't love nobody else the way I do
There is no one else that I love as much and in the same way as I love you
He sways his body to the floor
He moves his body to the ground in a swaying motion
He swings his hips to the radio
He moves his hips back and forth in time with the music from the radio
So say the line and hold me close
Speak the words of the song and embrace me tightly
Let's float away to the other world
Let's escape reality and drift off into a different place
Daylight in your eyes
The brightness of the sun can be seen reflecting in your eyes
The bottle ends but it tastes like the sun
Although our alcohol is finished, the taste still reminds us of the warm sun
We sway again as we sing along
We move our bodies in time with the music once more as we join in with the song
We're spiralling into the dawn
We're losing ourselves in the moment and spiralling into the arrival of a new day
So let me transform back to Earth
Bring me back down to reality
Drive me by the one, I'm cursed
Take me past the person that has put a spell on me
We're spirallin' through old world days
We're losing ourselves in nostalgia for days gone by
Let's take it back to you and me
Let's go back to the simplicity of just us, with no distractions
Head spin honey yeah
The feeling of my head spinning is overwhelming, my dear
