Honey
Ruby Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I bet it was
But was it easy? Yeah was it easier with her?
Yeah I bet it was
Was it easier to watch me walk away
Would it have been easier to go and make you stay
But honey's got the honey that'll make you drip
Oh its funny how this game always makes you slip
Back down
And I'm taking a walk, taking a walk
Would love to have a conversation
But I can't find the words to talk
I'm taking a walk
I'd love to slow it down
But my demons are slowly learning to stalk
Slowly throwing me off my rocker
But honey's got the honey that'll make you drip
Oh and honey's got a brain that'll make you trip
Oh its funny how this game always makes you slip
Back down Oooooo
But honey's got the honey that'll make you drip
Oh and honey's got a brain that'll make you trip
Oh its funny how this game always makes you slip
Back down
I'm slipping down
Yeah times have changed and that's ok
We found ourselves and parted ways
Times have changed, I miss you too
These deja vus and small town blues are
Killing me, yeah man it's killing me
I've been letting go of everything that I can feel
I've been letting go of everything that they say is real
I've been letting go of everything just to heal my soul (my soul)
And honey's got the honey that'll make you drip
Oh and honey's got a brain that'll make you trip
Oh its funny how this game always makes you slip
Back down
But honey's got the honey that'll make you drip
Oh and honey's got a brain that'll make you trip
Oh, funny how this game always makes you slip
Back down
Slippin' and slippin' and slippin' back down
I'm slipping and slipping, slippin' back down
Slippin' and trippin' and slippin' and trippin'
Slippin and trippin' and slippin' and trippin'
Slipping and tripping, slippin' and slippin'
You're Slippin', you're trippin'
The song "Honey" by Ruby Waters is about a failed relationship and the aftermath of the breakup. The song starts with the singer questioning whether her ex-partner found it easier to be with someone else other than her. She acknowledges that the new person may have been an easier option, but she wonders if it would have been easier to stay and work things out. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "honey's got the honey that'll make you drip" and "honey's got a brain that'll make you trip." This refers to the idea that the new person in her ex's life may have something that the singer lacked, whether it is sexual or intellectual attraction. The song's bridge talks about the singer's struggles with letting go of the past and trying to heal herself, all while acknowledging that she misses her ex-partner.
The song's lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to deal with the pain of a breakup while also trying to move on with their life. The use of the phrase "Honey" in the song may be a reference to the new person in the singer's ex-partner's life, or it could be a metaphor for how sweet the new relationship seems to be. The song also has an underlying theme of self-discovery and growth, as the singer acknowledges that even though the breakup was difficult, it has helped her learn to let go of things that were holding her back.
