Honest
Ether Hour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We share our lives, our only Sweet and Low
But there are things about me you don't know
Packed deep inside where we don't often go
Confess my fault, disrupt the ebb and flow

Do you really want me to be honest with you?
Could you handle the truth if I told you?
Sometimes it seems that we're better off happy than wise
For the truth can cut deep, will the wounds really heal?
Will they really mend after the breaking?
I'd rather tangle the web and just leave it unsaid

So I run through all the outcomes in my head
Would you cry a crushing blow, wish I were dead?
Or would you take it with some grace instead?
A mystery of what-all should be said

Cause none the wiser we would carry on
In the fog our love is going strong
A gift we have to share our whole life long
To lay it out and tell the truth is wrong

Do you really want me to be honest with you?
Could you handle the truth if I told you?
Sometimes it seems that we're better off happy than wise
For the truth can cut deep, will the wounds really heal?




Will they really mend after the breaking?
I'd rather tangle the web and just leave it unsaid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ether Hour's song "Honest" are a contemplation of the tradeoff between honesty and happiness in a relationship. The singer acknowledges that in their relationship they share a lot, symbolized by their "only Sweet and Low," but there are parts of themselves that they keep hidden, "packed deep inside." The fear of disrupting the "ebb and flow" of their relationship prevents the singer from confessing their faults, even though they are unsure if it is better to be honest or keep things unsaid.


The chorus of the song repeats the question, "Do you really want me to be honest with you?" suggesting that the singer is unsure of their partner's ability to handle the truth. They wonder if revealing their flaws would bring irreparable damage to their relationship, or if their partner would be able to take it "with some grace." Ultimately, the singer concludes that the "gift" of their love is best preserved by not laying everything out, despite the risk of "cutting wounds" that may not fully heal.

However, there are some parts of myself that I have not revealed to you yet.


Packed deep inside where we don't often go
These things are lying deep inside me, in places which we hardly visit in our conversations.


Confess my fault, disrupt the ebb and flow
If I were to confess them, it would change the way we interact and throw off the balance of our relationship.


Do you really want me to be honest with you?
Are you truly willing to hear these things which are difficult for me to say?


Could you handle the truth if I told you?
Are you capable of accepting these things without it seriously harming our relationship?


Sometimes it seems that we're better off happy than wise
Perhaps in some cases, it is more beneficial for us to stay content with each other rather than risk uncovering uncomfortable truths.


For the truth can cut deep, will the wounds really heal?
Uncovering these secrets may severely damage us, and it is uncertain whether time will truly heal those wounds.

Even if we try to work past these issues, it is uncertain if our relationship will ever be the same again.


I'd rather tangle the web and just leave it unsaid
Because of these uncertainties, I would rather keep these secrets with me even if it means having to live with lies and unspoken truths.


So I run through all the outcomes in my head
I constantly think about the possible consequences of telling you and how it could change everything.


Would you cry a crushing blow, wish I were dead?
I wonder if my confession will completely devastate you or make me seem like a villain in your eyes.


Or would you take it with some grace instead?
I also consider the possibility that you might understand and forgive me instead of being completely hurt and devastated.


A mystery of what-all should be said
Despite all of my contemplation, the best course of action remains a mystery to me.


Cause none the wiser we would carry on
If I decide not to reveal these secrets to you, we can continue to live our lives without any knowledge of them and pretend everything is fine.


In the fog our love is going strong
Even though there might be something hidden within the fog of our relationship, our love is still strong and alive.


A gift we have to share our whole life long
Our connection is a precious gift which we have to share with each other throughout the entirety of our lives.


To lay it out and tell the truth is wrong
