Honey Bones
Dope Lemon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been walking around every
Which damn way
The clouds are coming
There knocking on my window pane
They wanna know what it is
That I got planned
She make you feel alright
She keep you up at night
Ah she got them honey bones
She got them
Ah she got them honey bones
She got them honey dripping from
her bones
All the finest rubies won't be enough
coz I've seen the gold
fallin' from above
how the velvet falls
I see the yellow moon
She's dancing across the floor
She make you feel alright
She make you feel OK
She keep you up at night
Ah! she got them honey bones
Ah! she got them
Ah! she got them honey bones
Eh! it's dripping from her bones
Yeah! it's dripping from her bones
it's dripping like honey
it's dripping like gold
it's dripping like hoeny
it's dripping like gold
it's drinking like gold
Woah! she got them honey bones
Oh! she got them
Aah! she got them honey bones
Oh! she's got them honey dripping
from her bones
She got them honey bones
She make you feel alright
She make you feel alright
She make you feel alright
The lyrics of Dope Lemon’s song, Honey Bones, talk about a woman who has an allure that is almost magical. The singer talks about how he has been searching for something for days, and when the “clouds are coming” and “knocking on my window pane,” he doesn't know what to do. However, the woman he speaks of has a power over him that makes everything okay. She makes him feel alright, keeps him up at night, and has something that he can't describe, but it's emanating from her bones, and it's like “honey dripping from her bones.”
The song seems to suggest that the woman has some kind of power, and perhaps the honey bones that she has are something that most people don't possess. She has the ability to make others feel good, and the singer has fallen under her spell. The imagery of “falling gold” and a “yellow moon” creates a sense of magic, as if this woman has something otherworldly about her. The song leaves it open to interpretation, but perhaps the message is that sometimes people possess a kind of energy or magic that others don't, and this woman is one of them.

There's a touch of the velvet underground in this track, I like it.

Aha!!! That's why it sounded familiar. Similar enchanting sound to Velvet Underground song "Venus in Furs". Good call.
