Honey
The Brinks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swimming in the river
Open my eyes
Thinking the past was out of my sight
Maybe we will get there
Might as well try
I'm drunk and this cigarette's burning with the high
Wherever I fit in, is where you belong
Come on baby bounce to the feeling get born
She was all naked
Passenger seat
Horn from the Cadillac going beep beep

Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
Darling now what you got hidden in the hive
Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
She's the kind that make me wanna make me come alive

Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
Darling now what you got hidden in the hive
Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
She's the kind that make me wanna make me wanna ride

Don't bend yourself out of shape
Don't get your right mind erased

Don't bend yourself out of shape
Don't get your right mind erased

Looking all faded
Riding on the wind
Thinking over this for what it could have been
Maybe we'll uncover there's a dark side
Searching your skin till we're gunna feel right
I see you in the mirror
I see you in the stars
I feel you in the thunder drumming my heart
It's everything we wanted
Wanted to believe
Casual love no casualties
On a tidal wave, Hollywood skin
Baby she was sex
She was on her way in
She was all naked
Passenger seat
Horn from the Cadillac going beep beep

Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
Darling now what you got hidden in the hive
Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
She's the kind that make me wanna make me come alive

Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
Darling now what you got hidden in the hive
Ooh ooh drip drip like honey
She's the kind that make me wanna make me wanna ride

Don't bend yourself out of shape
Don't get your right mind erased





Don't bend yourself out of shape
Don't get your right mind erased

The lyrics "Maybe we will get there, might as well try" suggest a sense of determination and resilience, regardless of what the future may hold.


The mention of being drunk and smoking a cigarette also adds to the carefree, almost hedonistic vibe of the song. The lyrics "Wherever I fit in, is where you belong" suggest a sense of belonging that has been found with someone else.

The chorus of the song, with the repeated phrase "drip drip like honey," adds to the sensual and slightly hedonistic feel of the lyrics.
