Glow
HoneyWire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard to disappear when you're always in sight
The sun won't come up
Evaporate I just might
It seems the only thing I hear is are you alright
I won't hurt you
I won't curse you
But I think that you'll bite
And if it won't work for you decide where I'll go
I'll spend some time alone
I might
Falling for your temper and you don't have a clue
You caught me daydreaming about a sunny island and you
We could kick off our shoes and forget all the news
I know I'm four leagues lower than you'd probably choose
And if it won't work for you decide where I'll go




I'll spend some time alone
I might

Overall Meaning

The song "Glow" by HoneyWire reflects the emotional state of the singer. The first few lines point to a feeling of being trapped or observed, unable to hide or disappear. The line "the sun won't come up, evaporate I just might" illustrates a sense of despair, as if the world around the singer is too much to handle. The only communication the singer seems to receive is a concerned question of "are you alright". Despite this, the singer wants to make sure that they won't hurt or curse the person asking the question, but believes that the person will ultimately "bite".


As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they have fallen for someone who has a fiery temper. The imagery of daydreaming about a sunny island seems to be the only escape the singer can find from this emotional turmoil. The singer knows that they are not on the same level as the person they are falling for, hence "I know I'm four leagues lower than you'd probably choose". The final lines of the song, "And if it won't work for you decide where I'll go, I'll spend some time alone, I might", suggest the singer is willing to let go and move on, but also potentially contemplating self-isolation as a form of coping.


Overall, "Glow" is a melancholic, introspective song that explores feelings of being trapped, overwhelmed and alone while expressing a willingness to love and be loved.
