The Search
Mree Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake at the start of an early dawn
To make me put my dress shoes on
You in your veil and your pale white dress
Still as kids, it all made sense
Out in the back where we used to play
It's always been my favorite game
We'd close our eyes and we'd spin around
And seal our lips until we're found
Let's go back to the light of our younger days
Hiding beside the trees
You called me your little honeybee
And you would look after me
Though it's getting cold and we're growing older
Now that we have to leave
I don't wanna play like it's lost and found
But will you always search for me
Slow at your hold, never let me go
Pray to god our time ticks slow
Of all parted hearts I've grown to know
Yours will always lead me home
Let's go back to the light of our younger days
Hiding beside the trees
You called me your little honeybee
And you would look after me
Though it's getting cold and we're growing older
Now that we have to leave




I don't wanna play like it's lost and found
But will you always search for me

Overall Meaning

The song "The Search" by Mree explores the concept of growing older and losing touch with our past. The opening line "Wake at the start of an early dawn" suggests a new beginning, a chance to reflect and relive a past that seems so distant. The singer is getting ready, possibly for a wedding, which becomes apparent in the following line "To make me put my dress shoes on. You in your veil and your pale white dress". It is a moment filled with nostalgia, as the memories of their childhood and the games they used to play flood back. The game they used to play, "close our eyes and we'd spin around, and seal our lips until we're found" is a metaphor for their relationship. They trusted each other blindly and found comfort in each other's company.


The chorus "Let's go back to the light of our younger days, Hiding beside the trees, You called me your little honeybee, And you would look after me" highlights the simplicity and purity of their bond. They were carefree, and their love was uncomplicated. The singer doesn't want to play like it's "lost and found" because it means their relationship has become uncertain, and they are searching for the past. They know that they will grow older, and their paths may diverge, but they hope that their bond will remain strong, and their partner will always search for them.


Overall, "The Search" is a poignant melody that reflects on the memories and innocence of the past. The track's soothing sound that makes the listener reminisce about their own memories and long-lost connections. It is a celebration of simpler times and hope that the memories and bonds formed during those times will remain steadfast.


Line by Line Meaning

Wake at the start of an early dawn
Opening up the eyes at the break of dawn


To make me put my dress shoes on
Putting on dress shoes


You in your veil and your pale white dress
Partner dressed up for a special occasion


Still as kids, it all made sense
Feeling like a child again


Out in the back where we used to play
Going back to a familiar place


It's always been my favorite game
Fond memories of playing this game


We'd close our eyes and we'd spin around
Playing a game where you spin around with eyes closed


And seal our lips until we're found
Game involves remaining quiet until found by the other person


Let's go back to the light of our younger days
Nostalgic longing for a simpler time


Hiding beside the trees
Playing hide-and-seek


You called me your little honeybee
Partner giving a cute nickname


And you would look after me
Partner taking care of the other


Though it's getting cold and we're growing older
Acknowledging that time has passed and things have changed


Now that we have to leave
Leaving the special place and moving on


I don't wanna play like it's lost and found
Not wanting to play childish games anymore


But will you always search for me
Asking partner if they will continue to look out for them


Slow at your hold, never let me go
Desiring to hold onto the moment forever


Pray to god our time ticks slow
Wishing time would slow down and the special moment would last longer


Of all parted hearts I've grown to know
Reflecting on lost relationships


Yours will always lead me home
Knowing that this relationship will always bring them back to where they belong
