Honestly
Young Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dine me you got my time
A cold one my dear might keep me here
Or just about anywhere else
Anywhere else with you baby
Tell me sweetie
The first time you let your heart escape free
I'll tell you anything you'd want to know
About my world
My world with you baby
Cause
Honestly, I just need some company
Just a quick fix baby to rest my mind of all the shit
Honestly I just need your company
Sweetie please skin me
Do you think you could do that for me?
Cause all this talkin'
Its makin' me thirsty
Cause
I just need a taste of something sweet, something that stains my teeth
These lyrics from Young Lights's song "Honestly" are a vivid description of a romantic experience. The song is about a person who is seeking companionship and is willing to overlook the past in order to have it. The persona in the song is asking someone to join them on a date and promises to reveal everything about their past. They seem to have an insatiable thirst for both physical and emotional satisfaction that only their companion can quench.
"Wine me baby, dine me. You got my time," implies that the persona is ready to devote their entire evening to their companion. The use of "a cold one" implies a drink; however, it's not certain if the persona is talking about alcohol, although it's likely. The persona claims that with their companion, they are willing to go anywhere. Hence, they're craving connection with someone to keep them grounded.
In the chorus, the persona admits their need for companionship. They're looking for a "quick fix" to relieve them of their troubles. They're asking their partner to help "skin" them, which suggests they're seeking another person to help remove them of their emotional distress. Lastly, the persona notes that all the talking is making them thirsty, again suggesting the craving for emotional and physical relief.
