Heavy
Black Honey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My highs like a deadweight
Lows just like a freight train
Holding on so tight
Seconds til it escalates
From interstate to outer space
Holding on for my life

Serotonin let us down
Don't wanna watch the white horse drown
Never ending therapy cause my head is the enemy
So don't let me, go steady

Baby pick me up I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

I think I made a mistake
A crime scene wrapped in yellow tape
Not sure where it sent me
Bodies lined in chalk shapes
Who needs friends anyway
So don't let me, go steady

Baby pick me up I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes
Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes

Baby pick me up I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy like before

Baby pick me up I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes
Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes

Still Heavy
Still Heavy

My highs like a deadweight
Lows just like a freight train
Holding on so tight
Seconds till it escalates
In interstate to outer space
Holding on for my life

Serotonin let us down
Don't wanna watch the white horse drown
Never ending therapy 'cause my head is the enemy
So don't let me, go steady

Baby, pick me up, I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

I think I made a mistake
A crime scеne wrapped in yellow tapе
Not sure where it sent me
Bodies lined in chalk shapes
Who needs friends anyway?
So don't let me, go steady

Baby, pick me up, I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes

Baby, pick me up, I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy like before
Baby, pick me up, I feel so heavy
Don't think I can fake it anymore
Walked into the room as things got messy
Still heavy on my bedroom floor

Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes
Maybe this time I'm done
Attention deficit ten tonnes

Still heavy
