Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once is too much for me
A thousand is never enough
Once is too much for me
A thousand is never enough
Once is too much for me
A thousand is never enough
Once is too much for me
A thousand is never enough
It's never enough

The bees are coming for ya
Coming for ya

It's never enough

Just enough, just enough

We're coming for ya
The bees coming for ya, coming for ya

Now our parents are all dead
The firstborns in their beds
The bees are coming to
Other flowers in your head

And California how your mourn!
With the sickness in your corn
The cold firstborn and
The other flowers in my head

Stick your head into your feet




Stick your feet down in your head
Stick your head into my feet into my blood

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Prelude" by Foals depict the idea of excess and how it can never be enough. The repetition of "Once is too much for me, a thousand is never enough" emphasizes this theme. It's as if the singer is trying to warn against the dangers of overindulgence, yet cannot resist the attraction of it. The bees mentioned in the chorus may symbolize the consequences of such actions, how they swarm and take over, leading to an overwhelming situation.


The second verse takes a dark turn, referencing death and sickness. The line "Other flowers in your head" could imply the idea of delusions or distorted reality. The phrase "Stick your head into your feet" and vice versa portrays the idea of being trapped and stuck, unable to escape the consequences of one's actions. Overall, the lyrics suggest that a life of excess can lead to destruction and chaos.


Line by Line Meaning

Once is too much for me
I can't handle even one instance of this


A thousand is never enough
Even if I had this a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough


It's never enough
This thing can never fully satisfy me


The bees are coming for ya
Trouble or danger is approaching you


Now our parents are all dead
Our authority figures are gone


The firstborns in their beds
The eldest generation has passed away


The bees are coming to Other flowers in your head
The same trouble or danger is spreading to other areas


With the sickness in your corn
There is a problem with your crops


The cold firstborn and The other flowers in my head
The past is affecting me and causing me distress


Stick your head into your feet Stick your feet down in your head Stick your head into my feet into my blood
There seems to be confusion or lack of clarity in communication

Great car and great video, but one important note: this is not an EV, it's a hybrid. A Honda spokesperson confirmed that on Twitter.

@brian4407

Not sure why people would even think it’s an EV to begin with. Did everyone suddenly forget that Honda hasn’t even developed their own EV platform?

@TranceHeed

@@brian4407pretty easy to assume that since it’s 2026

@marvdatboi

So an EV with smoke 😂

@leonsilcott4895

If it still has fwd I'll give it 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

@lldjslim

It's a POS

I see this is going to be a on going trend or standard that car manufacturers are going to play. They are going to play the NOSTALGIA GAME. Oh, the Honda prelude, do you remember me, remember me when I was cool.

So what I'm trying to say is that car manufacturers are going to be bringing back old 80's and 90's car nameplates from the dead past and will be giving them the EV treatment. These new EV vehicles will have no heritage and tradition from the original models they will only carry the nameplate of the original, but it will be a totally different car. It will be an identity crisis

Of all vehicles to make a comeback this was so unexpected, it's really nice to see a new coupe in our family suv world

@PrivilegeYT

it looks like the prius but the prelude is a coupe

@dothedishes3427

​​@@PrivilegeYTI completely disagree , looks NOTHING like the Prius. Had you said Z car I can see that.

@blaineharker7298

@@PrivilegeYT I sorta see what you mean however I feel like this new Prelude is way more aggressive looking than the new Prius.
