Sweet Pea
Honeydogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She walks like she'd rather not be in clothes
A seashell tear flows
Photographs and a waxed rose
A good soul everybody knows
Green her garden grows
I'll follow Sweet Pea
Oil cans for a giant heart
The children laughed trying on her shoes
Boys and girls watch her move
She sits on a fence, Sweet Pea
I'll follow Sweet Pea
I'll follow Sweet Pea
The Honeydogs' song, Sweet Pea, tells the story of a free-spirited woman who lives life on her own terms. The lyrics reflect her carefree nature as she walks around sans clothes, shedding tears that resemble seashells, and tending to her garden which is lush and green. The woman is known for her good soul, and everyone in the community is fond of her. The song portrays her as an inspiration for children who try on her shoes and watch her move with awe. The last two lines of the chorus, "She sits on a fence, Sweet Pea, I'll follow Sweet Pea," suggest that the singer is drawn to this woman's unadulterated way of living and wishes to emulate her.
Sweet Pea is an ode to individuality and nonconformity. The woman is not constrained by societal norms and is comfortable in her own skin. It is an aspirational song that inspires the listener to carve their path without worrying about judgment or expectations. The music is upbeat and cheerful, echoing the carefree essence of the lyrics.
