HONEYMOON
Thomas Cohen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tables
No chair
The notepad carrying my name
Let the letters age as the window stood still
As the rivers make their beds
How love will be
Passing to one another
Keep your eyes where they hide the sun
Nothing to doubt anymore
Daytime comes when you both know
When the water is still
It keeps you so
Keep your eyes where they hide the sun
Nothing to doubt anymore
Holding on to eachother
Passing to one another
Now it's coming over
These lyrics from Thomas Cohen's song, "Honeymoon" describe a scene of two people completely immersed in each other, away from any distractions or outside world. The lack of teacup, tables or chairs implies that the focus is solely on each other without any external comforts. The notepad carrying the singer's name could suggest that they are documenting their experiences together, or perhaps it signifies the importance of the relationship.
The line "Let the letters age as the window stood still" could mean that they want to hold onto these moments forever and allow their love to mature like the letters on the notepad. As the rivers make their beds, this could represent the strength and longevity of their love. The chorus encourages the couple to remain present and focused on each other's eyes, which hide the sun, a symbol of doubt or external concerns. As they hold onto each other and pass energy back and forth, a sense of unity is created, and everything else fades away.
The final line "Now it's coming over" could have different interpretations depending on how the previous lyrics are perceived. It could signify that their love has finally reached its pinnacle, or it could be a warning that something is about to disrupt their perfect moment.
Overall, "Honeymoon" paints a picture of an idyllic and pure love, removed from the noise of the world. It encourages the couple to stay present and focused on each other to maintain this purity.

A deep, dark brooding, drawn-out, long and haunting Merovingian Christmas album with throngs of drums from the corridors of the darkest chambers of the human soul, arousing our root chakras all the way up to our throats
