Heather
Honyock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm feeling fine
Last time I saw Heather
I just didn't have the time
Salt shaker in her garden
With a pocket knife beside
Last time I saw Heather
From time to time I'll ask about her
What was more important than our fate
From time to time I'll get an answer
Darling don't you know she's fled the state
Got a ticket to Virginia
In the pocket of my bag
When I get on that train man
I'm gonna wish I never had
I'm looking for my future
In a calendar of squares
But last time I saw Heather
She wasn't there
If the Ghost of God delivered her
On an angel with silver wings
If she could meet me at the station
Like something blazoned on a silver screen
I know that I would be happy
Now that the light of hindsight has shined
Aw, but last time I saw Heather
She wasn't on my mind
Her mem'ry often pays me a visit
Yeah, I wonder what she would say about that fact
She'd say
The truest promises are the ones that never come to pass
In "Heather" by Honyock, the singer reflects on a past relationship with someone named Heather. The lyrics suggest that the singer is content with their current state, feeling "fine," but acknowledges that they could be better. The mention of not having enough time to see Heather indicates a certain level of busyness or lack of prioritization that resulted in the relationship not receiving the attention it deserved.
The mention of a salt shaker in Heather's garden accompanied by a pocket knife suggests a juxtaposition of elements: the salt shaker representing preserving or enhancing the relationship, while the pocket knife signifies potential harm or ending. The line "The fruit it wasn't ripe" can be interpreted as the relationship not being ready or fully developed.
The singer occasionally inquires about Heather, implying that there were unresolved questions or unfinished business between them. However, it is revealed that Heather has left the state, possibly avoiding or running away from these inquiries. The singer mentions having a ticket to Virginia but expresses regret, hinting at a desire to undo something related to Heather.

I could be better
I have room for improvement
But I'm feeling fine
However, I am content
Last time I saw Heather
The most recent encounter with Heather
I just didn't have the time
I was unable to prioritize her at that moment
Salt shaker in her garden
A salt dispenser located in her outdoor space
With a pocket knife beside
Accompanied by a small blade in close proximity
The fruit it wasn't ripe
The produce was not yet fully matured
From time to time I'll ask about her
Occasionally, I inquire about her well-being
What was more important than our fate
What took priority over our destiny
From time to time I'll get an answer
Intermittently, I receive a response
Darling don't you know she's fled the state
My dear, she has departed to another state
Got a ticket to Virginia
Acquired a train ticket to Virginia
In the pocket of my bag
Contained within the pocket of my bag
When I get on that train man
Once I board that train, my friend
I'm gonna wish I never had
I will regret my decision
I'm looking for my future
I am searching for my destiny
In a calendar of squares
Within a calendar composed of boxes
But last time I saw Heather
However, during my previous encounter with Heather
She wasn't there
She was absent
If the Ghost of God delivered her
If a divine apparition transported her
On an angel with silver wings
Upon a celestial being adorned with silver wings
If she could meet me at the station
If she could rendezvous with me at the train station
Like something blazoned on a silver screen
Similar to an image displayed prominently on a movie screen
I know that I would be happy
I am certain that I would experience joy
Now that the light of hindsight has shined
Now that I have gained perspective from reflecting on past events
Aw, but last time I saw Heather
Oh, however, during my previous encounter with Heather
She wasn't on my mind
She did not occupy my thoughts
Her mem'ry often pays me a visit
Her recollections frequently come to mind
Yeah, I wonder what she would say about that fact
Yes, I contemplate her potential response to this reality
She'd say
She would express
The truest promises are the ones that never come to pass
The most genuine commitments are the ones that remain unfulfilled
