Honey
Mini Mansions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life no more fits me, death a fashion crime
Life is but one space in time
Honey come home

Control your mind it knows not right from wrong
I've been here for way too long
Honey come home
I saw their eyes that witness godless nights
Light's a mockery of sight
Honey come home

I search the sky I look for higher ground
Heaven's only one way down
Honey come home

Conceal your sex appeal
Evacuate
Mind the highway interstate
Honey I'm home

Life no more miss me, death the final high
Life is just one way to die
Honey come home





I never got to know all the phantoms on my way home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Honey" by Mini Mansions are infused with mystery and darkness, with imagery that is both haunting and captivating. The opening lines are particularly striking, as the singer reflects on the nature of life and death, saying that life no longer fits him and that death is a fashion crime. The melancholic tone is amplified by the repetition of the line "honey come home," which creates a sense of yearning and longing.


The next stanza is about controlling the mind, and the notion that it knows not right from wrong. The singer is questioning the very nature of decision making and wondering how much agency we truly have when it comes to our thoughts and actions. The line "I've been here for way too long" is a nod to the feeling of being stuck in a rut, and not being able to move forward.


The third stanza is about witnessing godless nights and how light can be a mockery of sight. Here, the singer continues to unpack his ideas about the nature of existence, grappling with the idea that there may not be any inherent meaning to life at all. The final stanza ends on a somewhat surreal note, with the singer urging someone to "conceal your sex appeal" and evacuate, before saying "honey, I'm home."


Overall, the lyrics to "Honey" are shrouded in mystery, but suggest a deep sense of unease and restlessness with the world around us. The repetition of the phrase "honey come home" acts as an anchor, drawing the listener deeper into the song's strange and abstract world.
