Nectar
Bryde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn out every thought out of my mind
And I faced, faced every fear with you
I was telling all the demons to be kind
But I don't wanna be your nectar
I don't wanna be your curse
And I won't be your protector
Crossed, crossed every road for you
I would try to find you on the other side
And I broke, broke every rule I knew
I would stare right at the sun till I went blind
But I don't wanna be your nectar
I don't wanna be your curse
But I won't be your be protector
If you can't handle the impact of your words
All of your words
If we could be good and honest
I would love you same I promise
Over and over every day
But I don't wanna be your nectar
I don't wanna be your curse
And I won't be your protector
If you can't handle the impact of your words
All of your words
All your words
The lyrics to Bryde's song "Nectar" are about a person who goes to great lengths for someone they care about, but ultimately comes to the realization that they cannot be that person's savior or protector. The singer describes how they have painted and turned out their thoughts for this person, and faced their fears and demons with them. They have even crossed every road and broken every rule for them, but despite all of these efforts, they cannot continue to be their "nectar" or protector if that person cannot handle the impact of their words.
The use of the word "nectar" in the lyrics is particularly interesting, as it is typically associated with something sweet and nourishing. However, in this context, the singer is essentially saying that they cannot continue to be someone's "nectar" if that person is unable to handle the negative effects of their words. The song also highlights the importance of honesty in relationships, as the singer notes that they would love the other person just as much if they were good and honest with them.
Overall, Nectar is a powerful song about the limits of love and the importance of setting boundaries in relationships.
