While it's nearly impossible to decode the Rosetta stone for Inouk's music, perhaps it can be safely said that their music is made by fans of the close harmonies of the Everly Brothers, the jangle pop of the Byrds, the twisted melodicism of Brian Eno, or the effervescence of Ian Brown.

Search for the Bees
Inouk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We cross the wild
Search for the bees?
Honey, I can’t divide
There’s a time
When money can’t buy me
But I’m cheap like a joke
Cheap like I can be
Honey, I can’t divide
There comes a time
When you’re falling for me
Then you watch it unwind
And you’re searching for me
The lyrics to Inouk's song "Search for the Bees" evoke a sense of restlessness and the search for something meaningful in life. The first line "I will spend my life here running around" implies a lack of direction or purpose. The lines "We cross the wild, search for the bees" suggest a journey through the unknown in search of something valuable, something like the nectar of bees. However, the repetition of "Honey, I can't divide" seems to indicate that the search is not just for material wealth, but for something deeper that cannot be divided or quantified.
The next stanza is more introspective, with the lines "There's a time when money can't buy me, but I'm cheap like a joke, cheap like I can be." The contradiction of wanting something money can't buy, but being "cheap" in some sense, suggests a struggle between materialism and true meaning. The chorus repeats with a slight variation, "There comes a time when you're falling for me, then you watch it unwind and you're searching for me." This seems to suggest that even when we think we have found what we're looking for, it can slip away and lead us to search for something more again.
Overall, the lyrics of "Search for the Bees" evoke a sense of searching for purpose and meaning in life, but also the fleeting nature of this search and the difficulty in finding true fulfillment.
