Honey
Seven Mary Three Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you were my dream.
Saw your face.
Real in a dream.
Sugar mouth.
Stings like a bee.
Dreams with me at night.
An image of you.
And I want.
The most I can get
Come around
And I'll bet the rent
You're angel walking street
Knowing each little mystery in me
Ok, well nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
Can't get you off the tip of my tongue
You're Honey
In my mouth
Your satisfaction is the drug that I'm on
When my condition is dragging me down
You drown the ugliness out
Ok
In a word
You sold me a gift
And the word
No longer could fit
What you mean
And that word is: free
Free to change and move
And we climb
The ladder to heaven
In my dream, we're climbing to heaven
A sublime satisfaction is waiting
Waiting to be consumed
As soon as you make a move
Ok, nobody knows my truest name
Bet you yours is the same
You make me feel good
I know you have a plan to break away
Yes, I overheard
Yes, I heard what you said
Yes, I heard what you said
Ok
Pack your bags and slip out

The lyrics to “Honey” are an interesting mix of esoteric imagery and emotional honesty. The song speaks to the emotional experience of being deeply infatuated with someone, and it does so in a way that is both mysterious and revealing.
