Setting themselves a challenging role in late 2008 to write, record and release a fresh batch of music every six months, Drawn from Bees spent their formative year building a name and proving themselves as something more than a band with a crazy idea.

The Sky Is Falling EP, offers a respite from the pace of earlier releases; a breathier departure from the building rock crescendos of The Boy & The Ocean EP, and the controlled, rollicking beat of And The Blind Shall Lead The Way.

This Body
Drawn From Bees Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was looking at the world
Thinking of the girl
Cars were coming past in hordes
Racing onto more

I'm lonely and don't know why
It's raining, it's in my eye

This body is cold and dry

I have said enough for you
Said enough for me
If I was waiting in the park

Could you stay til 3?

It's only a day away
It's only a day away

This body is cold and dry

If I'm waiting, I'm standing still

This body is cold and dry

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Drawn From Bees's song "This Body" are reflective of someone who is feeling lonely and disconnected from the world around them. The singer is observing the world and thinking about a girl they have feelings for, but at the same time they are aware of how fast-paced and busy everything else seems. The repeated phrase "this body is cold and dry" suggests a feeling of emptiness or detachment from their own physical form, which may be contributing to their sense of isolation.

The lines "I have said enough for you / Said enough for me" could represent the singer's frustration with trying to connect with people and feeling like they are not being heard or understood. The final lines, "If I'm waiting, I'm standing still / This body is cold and dry," reinforce the sense of stagnation and lack of movement the singer is experiencing, both physically and emotionally.

Line by Line Meaning

I was looking at the world
I was contemplating the vastness of the world

Thinking of the girl
Thoughts about a girl were crossing my mind

Cars were coming past in hordes
There were many cars passing by

Racing onto more
Moving ahead towards their destination

I'm lonely and don't know why
I'm feeling alone without any clear reason for it

It's raining, it's in my eye
The rainfall is obstructing my vision

This body is cold and dry
My physical being feels devoid of warmth and moisture

I have said enough for you
I have expressed myself sufficiently to you

Said enough for me
Voiced out all that I needed to say

If I was waiting in the park
In case I were to be waiting at the park

Could you stay til 3?
Would you be able to wait until 3 for me?
