My Song 5
HAIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll get it right when I am heard
(Hot for me)
The man's his own
(Hot for me)
To her he'll go
(Hot for me)
But I'll be fine
'Cause I know
He's in her heart, on the floor thinkin' than I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again
I've been lied to
So what's the truth?
Now I'm not gonna hide it all, keep it in all from you
I've been dying to know what you tried
You've been lying so
Honey I'm not your honey pie
He's in her heart, on the floor thinking that I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again
If you want to see me baby please
Been holding on for eternity
Say you only want me
Missing you never led to much of anything
If you wanna know, if you wanna show
How it means, what it seems, seems to be,
Held by a thread, tried to forget
But I'll never let it go
Honey I'm not your honey pie
Tried to lie, dying to hear all lies
Trying to
Tried to lie, dying to hear all lies
Trying
He's in her heart, on the floor thinkin' than I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again
I've been lied to
So what's the truth?
Now I'm not gonna hide it all, keep it in all from you
I've been dying to know what you tried
You've been lying so
Honey I'm not your honey pie
The lyrics of HAIM's "My Song 5" reveal a complicated and painful relationship. The singer tries to keep her emotions in check and do the right thing, but she feels unheard in her attempts to be honest and communicate. She knows that the man she loves is with someone else, and she is struggling to move on. The first verse acknowledges the difficulty of trying to hold back tears and pretend everything is fine. The repeated phrase "Hot for me" seems to offer some hope that the singer believes the man still has feelings for her, but she eventually concedes that he is committed to someone else ("To her he'll go"). The chorus repeats the idea that the man is in the heart of the other woman, and the singer feels left out and frustrated. She alludes to doing "crazy shit" for him, indicating that she has gone to great lengths for this love that is now slipping away.
The second verse introduces a sense of betrayal, as the singer admits to being lied to and is searching for the truth beneath the surface. She won't hide her feelings anymore and is determined to know what the man she loves has been trying to keep from her. The bridge repeats the idea that the singer wants to be wanted, to be held by "a thread" of hope, even while she knows she needs to let go. The final chorus restates the sense of betrayal and confusion, and the singer affirms that she won't be the man's "honey pie" anymore.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Song 5" convey a complicated mix of emotions. The singer is struggling to move on from a troubled relationship, but also feels angry and betrayed by the lies and half-truths she has been fed. The song captures the conflicting feelings of pain, hope, and anger that can arise when trying to cope with heartbreak.
