Honey
Dark Disco Club Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a picture from when your life was young
And your black hair was not so grey
A stolen moment in it's entirety
But these memories have fallen to a hazy shade
When you went away to do the dance of rain
And we have forgave and ask for a luminous place
Blood of my blood you're a part of me
Pain, my pain left us here to bleed

A dirty mistake or a life left behind
An old musty suit that you used to wear
That quickly grew warm and more void of care
And i know how little you tried
When you went away to do the dance of rain
And we have forgave and ask for a luminous place
I could be wrong but if given the chance you would leave again
But what do i know
What do i know
I could be wrong but if given the chance you would leave again
But what do i know
What do i know
Your phantom plants the seed of a ghost in daydreams
A mask now it seems
Of a tide receding to the cyclops eye of the sun
Now that you had to leave
And we see the becoming
Of a child your running
A long long distance now that
You've gotten so far
When you went away to do the dance of rain
And we have forgave and ask for a luminous place
I could be wrong but if given the chance you would leave again
But what do i know
What do i know
I could be wrong but if given the chance you would leave again
But what do i know
What do i know
(stay away)
Lost and lonely
Begged for mercy
Alone and waiting
Old and hungry
Insane and distant
Abused and crumbling
Don't call me honey
Don't call me honey
Ignored and jaded
Memories faded
Lost and lonely
Don't call me honey
Don't call me honey
Don't call me honey
Begged for mercy
Don't call me honey
Lost and lonely

Begged for mercy
Don't call me honey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dark Disco Club's song "Honey" tell a story of a lost love that has gone away to pursue their dreams, leaving the singer behind with only memories and regrets. The song starts with a nostalgic look at a picture of the lost love when they were younger and their hair was not yet grey, but the memories have faded to a "hazy shade." The lost love went away to "do the dance of rain," which is likely a metaphor for pursuing their dreams, but the singer and the lost love have since forgiven each other and asked for a "luminous place," perhaps symbolizing a better future. However, the singer knows that if given the chance, the lost love would leave again.

The lyrics take a darker turn towards the end of the song, with the singer pleading with the lost love not to call them "honey" anymore. The lost love is now a "phantom" who has planted the "seed of a ghost in daydreams" and the mask of a tide receding to the "cyclops eye of the sun." These lines suggest that the lost love has become something unrecognizable and otherworldly, a mere memory that the singer cannot fully grasp or understand. The lost love is also described as "lost and lonely," "old and hungry," "insane and distant," and "abused and crumbling," painting a picture of a person who has suffered greatly on their journey to pursue their dreams.
