HONEYMOON
Kent Odessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's over
God help me, it's true
So you're saying that you're marrying
a banker in a shark-skin suit
Oh I shimmer down the fire pole in a santa suit
with a telescope
So you're saying that it's over soon
God help me, it's true
So I pull up my collar and zip up my coat
I put my cap on and then I go out
to a sauna on Woodward, a diner on Main
I put out a match on a tank of propane
What good is a lonely heart to a girl on a honeymoon?
What good is a honeymoon when I'm staring in your hotel room?
Sandy Sandy get your camera out I'm naked
in your garbage chute
Husband hit me with a frying pan
it's over, oh I'm helpless now
Do you remember when we were friends?
We told each other everything
Husband hit me with a porcelain plate
it's over, oh I'm helpless now
So I pull up my collar and zip up my coat
I put my cap on and then I go out
to a sauna on Woodward, a diner on Main
I put out a match on a tank of propane
What good is a lonely heart to a girl on a honeymoon?
What good is a honeymoon while I'm staring in your hotel room?
Sandy, what did he do to your hair?
What's on that white dress you wear?
Did your balloon disappear
while I was standing out here?
Oh, what did he do to your hair?
So you're saying that it's over soon
it's over
God help me, it's true
So you're saying that you're marrying
a trader with a silver spoon
(Sigh)
So I pull up my collar and zip up my coat...
(Zip)
I put my cap on and then I go out
to a sauna on Woodward, a diner on Main
I put out a match on a tank of propane
What good is a lonely heart to girl on a honeymoon?
What good is a honeymoon when I'm staring in your hotel room?
I'm staring in your room
on your honeymoon
I'm staring in your room
ohhhh on your honeymoon...
The lyrics to the song "Honeymoon" by Kent Odessa are a mixture of confusion, despair, and hurt. The song seems to be about a woman who was in love with someone who is now getting married to someone else. She is trying to come to terms with the reality of the situation, but it's not easy for her. The opening lyrics, "So you're saying that it's over soon, it's over, God help me, it's true," convey her disbelief and desperation. She also mentions that the person she was once in love with is getting married to a banker and later a trader, highlighting how the person has moved on to someone else who is successful and financially stable.
Throughout the song, the woman seems to be lost, trying to escape from her sadness by going to different places like a sauna and a diner. She mentions putting out a match on a tank of propane, perhaps conveying her desire to destroy something or her own self-destructive tendencies. She also mentions several violent incidences, like someone hitting her with a frying pan and a porcelain plate. These seem to indicate her feeling helpless and powerless, as if she is a victim in multiple ways.
The chorus, "What good is a lonely heart to a girl on a honeymoon? What good is a honeymoon when I'm staring in your hotel room?" suggests that the woman is still in love with the person who is getting married and that seeing him being happy with someone else is making her lonely and sad. The repetition of the line "I'm staring in your room on your honeymoon" emphasizes her sense of loss and longing.
Overall, the lyrics to "Honeymoon" seem to be about the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on. The woman is struggling to accept that the person she loves is marrying someone else and is perhaps even envious of their happiness. The song conveys a sense of intense emotion and hurt that is palpable throughout.
