HONEYCOMB
Kunzite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in the mouth of the spring yeah
holy rollers focus one at a time yeah
this horizon's shaped like honeycomb
can i just stay here forever and more?
it feels so good dissolving bodies at the door
and it's so heavy on the way back down
tasted perfect at the core
you used to live it all for fun
you used to hit the bottom
you used to live for no one else
and now you're out of your options
i'm so high there's no gravity around
there's only eyes in the honeycomb
rolling boulders focus one at a time
you found your freedom in your chromosome
can i just stay here forever and more?
it feels so good dissolving bodies at the door
and it's so heavy on the way back down
but it was worth it tasted perfect at the core
you used to live it all for fun
you used to hit the bottom
you used to live for no one else
and now you're out of your options
oh you used to chase around the world
oh you used to chase it all the way
you used to chase around the world
and it's just pearls inside of pearls
oh you used to chase around the world
oh you used to chase it all the way
you used to chase around the world
and it's just pearls inside of pearls
bliss in the room
you're standing in the door
bliss in the womb
you're standing at the door
iris in bloom
expanding into all space
and it's just worlds inside of worlds
bliss in the room
you're standing in the door
bliss in the womb
you're standing at the door
iris in bloom
expanding into all space
and it's just worlds inside of worlds
The lyrics of Kunzite's "HONEYCOMB" evoke images of an altered state of consciousness, where the boundaries between the self and the outside world become fluid and permeable. The reference to "one eye" in the "manifest sound" could suggest a state of heightened perception, where a single sense organ takes over and dominates the others. The "mouth of the spring" could represent a source of nourishment or renewal, where the singer finds solace and sustenance. The "holy rollers" focusing "one at a time" could suggest a communal experience of trance or ecstasy, where individuals surrender their ego and become part of a collective energy. The recurrent image of the "honeycomb" suggests a structure that is both regular and organic, where each cell is connected to the others and part of a larger pattern.
The chorus, with its repeated plea to "just stay here forever and more," expresses the desire to remain in this state of bliss and transcendence, where the boundaries between pleasure and pain, joy, and sorrow become blurred. The reference to "dissolving bodies at the door" could suggest the dissolution of the physical self or ego, allowing the singer to access a higher level of consciousness. The lines "it's so heavy on the way back down/but it was worth it tasted perfect at the core" describe the bittersweet feeling of returning to everyday reality after a peak experience, where the residue of the blissful state lingers but is gradually fading away.
The second verse continues the theme of the singer's transformation, from a hedonistic and aimless existence to a more focused and purposeful one. The lines "you used to live it all for fun/you used to hit the bottom/you used to live for no one else/and now you're out of your options" suggest that the singer has reached a point of no return, where they have exhausted all possible ways of escaping the pain of existence and now have to face it head-on. The image of "finding freedom in your chromosome" could suggest a sense of genetic or inherited destiny, where the singer discovers their true nature and purpose.
