Honey, I
Whispers of Ocean Weight: Caro Kelley's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
Honey I've been waiting on you
Expressing anticipation and patience for someone (Honey) to arrive.
Honey won't you just tell the truth
Requesting honesty and straightforwardness in communication.
In the dark I see monsters I hear sounds
Describing a state of fear or uncertainty, using metaphorical monsters and unsettling sounds.
Waiting for you to come around
Waiting for the person to return or be present in a difficult situation.
Honey I never felt this way before
Expressing a new and intense emotional experience (never felt this way before).
Burdened by my own weight along the ocean floor
Feeling weighed down and burdened, possibly emotionally, using the metaphor of the ocean floor.
And honey I wish I were the sea
Expressing a desire to be vast and all-encompassing like the sea.
And if I was, do you think that'd I'd be
Questioning whether being as vast as the sea would be sufficient.
Big enough, big enough
Reflecting on the enormity needed, possibly in the context of emotional capacity.
Honey I know there's no angel on my shoulder
Acknowledging the absence of guidance or moral support.
Telling me who to be so
Rejecting external influences and asserting the need for self-determination.
Won't you stay a while, won't you stay a while with me
Inviting the person to stay and share time together.
The streets are always dark when I walk at night
Describing a sense of darkness during nighttime walks.
If I were the sky, honey I'd drift off the ground and float on by
Imagining a desire to transcend earthly constraints and float freely.
Honey I buried myself in the ground
Metaphorically burying oneself, possibly representing emotional struggles.
But you always found me out
Despite attempts to hide, being discovered or understood by the other person.
You always found me out, you found me out
Reiterating the theme of being understood or revealed.
I know there's no angel on my shoulder
Reaffirming the lack of external guidance or protection.
I fall asleep effortlessly
Referencing ease in falling asleep, possibly suggesting a sense of comfort.
Won't you stay a while, won't you stay a while with me
Requesting the person to spend more time together.
Honey I know there's no angel on my shoulder
Reiterating the absence of external influence on personal choices.
Telling me who to be so
Asserting the importance of self-determination and individuality.
Won't you stay a while, won't you stay a while
Repeatedly inviting the person to stay and share time together.
Honey I
Addressing the person (Honey) again.
Honey I never felt this way before
Reiterating the intensity of the emotional experience mentioned earlier.
Burdened by my own weight along the ocean floor
Recalling the metaphorical burden along the ocean floor.
And honey I wish I were the sea
Expressing a desire to be as vast and encompassing as the sea once again.
