Honey
Lovers Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can't see what we don't believe

We can't dream of reality

With our heads in the clouds

And our hands in the air
We try to catch something

But nothing is there

We fall down before we start

We only want to play our part

Yeah our minds are a wash

With all this talk

Am I making sense?

Tell me honey can we ever find the truth?

Tell me honey will we ever see one view?

I can't connect if I can't relate to you

And we can't accept what we do not get to choose

Tell me honey, what is it we do?

Remind me honey, what did we just lose?

We push the thoughts and words come out

They could be lies, they could be doubt

But throw enough money at it's feet

And all the lies become perfectly sweet

You know I've tried to understand

I know you've tried to hold my hand

But try as I will I can not see

Am I making sense?

Tell me honey can we ever find the truth?

Tell me honey will we ever see one view?

I can't connect if I can't relate to you

And we can't accept what we do not get to choose

Tell me honey, what is it we do?





Remind me honey, what did we just lose?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lovers Electric’s song Honey seem to be exploring the idea of truth and perspective. The opening lines, “We can't see what we don't believe/We can't dream of reality,” suggest that our beliefs and perceptions shape our understanding of reality. The chorus repeatedly asks, “Tell me honey can we ever find the truth?/Tell me honey will we ever see one view?” which highlights the idea that there might not be one definitive truth or perspective.


The second verse touches on the idea of communication and connection, “I can't connect if I can't relate to you/And we can't accept what we do not get to choose.” This could refer to a relationship or a broader societal context where we struggle to communicate and empathize with people who have different beliefs or experiences.
