Honey Bucket
The Melvins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta motor fare the wheel real fast and fear.
Tri-jacking blackened for moi, handcuffs and special keys.
Triple lies and neckties divide. This will be his size.
Throw my case of Plasticine down. Maybe after you won't let it.
Ain't about to pick my rounds. This is in my way.
Plop is fast as my hole's down. Green glass and most of all.
Been around the somber town, maybe in the wall.
The first line, "In times of bella foe fa lies cobalt cast and clean," seems to be a statement about the mundanity of everyday life. The use of the word "bella" suggests a false sense of beauty, while "foe fa" evokes the feeling of phoniness or insincerity. The mention of cobalt, a material often used in industrial applications, highlights the mechanical nature of our daily routines. The word "clean" could mean purity or sterility, but it could also allude to something being wiped away or erased.
The rest of the lyrics are more abstract, with phrases like "Tri-jacking blackened for moi" and "Triple lies and neckties divide" that are difficult to understand. It could be interpreted as a commentary on a dystopian society with a heavy-handed government presence, as suggested by the mention of "handcuffs and special keys." The line "Throw my case of Plasticine down" could be a reference to protests or unrest, where demonstrators might use makeshift weapons or barriers made from plasticine (a type of clay). The final line, "maybe in the wall," could imply that the singer has been silenced or confined, hidden from view.
Overall, the lyrics of "Honey Bucket" are open to interpretation and could mean different things to different listeners.
