Honeydew
Mr. Scruff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said the man in my dreams
'Open your heart,' said the woman
'Unpick the seeds'
Take a boat across the river of your mind
Take a chance, get your wish and you will
Find a place where you can be free
And the trees bear the fruits
Of love
As a small child, I dreamed of trees
Of the open fields and autumn leaves
Strawberry sunsets, the blue of the sea
There was a whole world inside
Waiting for me
Take a boat across the river of your mind
Take a chance, get your wish and you will
Find a place where you can be free
Where the dew tastes of honey
And the trees bear the fruits
Of love
As a woman now I dream of peace
Of adding most sense naivety
Still in my dreams my world is at ease
All the colours of life reflected in me
Take a boat across the river of your mind
Take a chance, get your wish and you will
Find a place where you can be free
Where the dew tastes of honey
And the trees bear the fruits
Of love
Love Love Love Love
I feel love
The lyrics of Mr. Scruff's song "Honeydew" are filled with whimsical and poetic language, which can be interpreted in several ways. The song begins with the advice of two mysterious beings, a man and a woman, who appear in the singer's dream, counselling him/her to open his/her eyes and heart and to unpick the seeds. These enigmatic words suggest the idea of awakening, letting go of inhibitions and fears, and breaking psychological barriers to reach a desired state of freedom and inner peace.
Later in the song, the singer reminisces about his/her childhood dreams of trees, open fields, and beautiful natural landscapes. These images represent a world devoid of the complexities and problems of adult life, where everything is possible and anything can happen. In the present, the singer still dreams of attaining peace and innocence, reflecting the wish to return to simpler and happier times.
Ultimately, the song is a call to action to take a risk and cross the river of the mind, which serves as a metaphor for confronting oneself and exploring one's inner world. The reward of doing so is to find a place of total freedom, where the dew tastes of honey and the trees bear the fruits of love. The final repetition of the word "love" suggests that the ultimate goal of this journey is to reach a state of unconditional love towards oneself and others, which is the epitome of inner peace and fulfillment.

Chorus
If you want it to
I'm on it, you you know I do
Sweet honey dew
You know I’m quite like you
It tastes so good I want your loving on that sweet sweet honey dew
Verse 1 - Jaykae
I'm sweet sweet Nike's on my feet
Out here spitting my life on a beat
Windows down outside in a street
Just pull up outside and beep
Yeah a lot of girls girls all kinds of girls
But there’s only one I want to meet
I phone her up like what you wanna eat
Only live once bud I don't wanna sleep
Yeah a lot of big batty girls in a maxi dress
I gotta start driving and catch taxi less
Yes, these girls come after sex
Imma bust her and ask your ex
You ever wanna row when I was on a low
And I won't be around when I'm at my best
See now I need to catch my breath she looking sweet like honey
She lucky if she meets my mummy, funny
Chorus
If you want it to
I'm on it, you you know I do (I'm sweet)
Sweet honey dew
You know I'm quite like you (sweet like that)
It tastes so good I want your loving on that sweet sweet honey dew
[Instrumental]
Verse 2 - Jaykae
I'm sweet sweet Nike’s on my feet
I came to party I don’t wanna sleep
Mike's here steering up a rolex sweet
Yo who’s got the keys to the jeep
Yeah man it's Pete Pete it's getting all deep
If you feel froggy then leave
It's like a gold bent wave up on insta repeat
Just move your body to the beat
I like her cause she’s sweet like that
I got a girl but I'll be right back
I tell her don't look at me like that
She'll probably get in when she see my stats
She know like dat
Have faith in me
Cause we're gonna make it way to the sea
Girl I made this be
Like G! She might not sweet like honey, but I still need my money, funny
Chorus
If you want it to
I'm on it, you you know I do
Sweet honey dew
You know I'm quite like you
It tastes so good I want your loving on that sweet sweet honey dew

Sweet honey dew
You know I'm quite like you
It tastes so good I want your loving on that sweet sweet honey dew
