Wildhoney
Tiamat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Decoctions of Jimsonweed
Slimy trailing plants distil
Claustrophobia and blood mixed seed
Cursed downstairs against my will

Cobweb sticks to molten years
Cockroaches served with cream
I wipe the silver bullet tears
And with every tear a dream

With every tear a dream...

Honey tea, psilocybe larvae
Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe tea

Energy trickles with the tide
Masterminds and the suicide squad
Drink acid water by my side
Stake the saviour of their daily fraud

Overfilled toothpaste tubes
Sleepless and timeless faces
Drippety drop on sugarcubes
The one eyed¹s eye twinkles and gazes

Twinkles and gazes...

Honey tea, psilocybe larvae




Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe tea

The lyrics further delve into the realm of the unusual, with the singer describing the sensations and strange occurrences that accompany the use of Jimsonweed. There is a sense of horror and rebellion in the lyrics, with the singer being cursed downstairs against their will.


The second stanza talks about energy trickling with the tide, and masterminds and the suicide squad drinking acid water.

The final stanza speaks of overfilled toothpaste tubes and sleepless faces, and finally arriving at the mention of honey tea and psilocybe larvae. Honey tea can be a reference to ayahuasca, a plant-based shamanic brew that is known for its purging and hallucinogenic effects. Psilocybe larvae are a type of mushroom that contain psychoactive properties.


Overall, the lyrics of Wildhoney are impressionistic and dreamlike, with a sense of rebellion and pushing boundaries. The song captures the essence of the psychedelic counterculture, and encourages the listener to explore their own inner landscapes.
