Honey
Struggles and Sweet Rewards: Gareth Leach's 'Honey' Unveiled
Lyrics
Tried my best just to be a man and follow those roads on my daddy's hands
Tried to fulfill the traditional expectations of being a man as passed down by the speaker's father.
Did what you said, got my degree but the door still slams in front of me
Despite obtaining a degree as advised, faced continued rejection or obstacles in life.
And the walls keep closing in on me
Feeling trapped or overwhelmed by challenges, symbolized by closing walls.
Baby, I'm tryin' my best to get along
Expressing effort to cope with life's difficulties.
Baby, I'm tryin' my best to stay strong but the race feels so long
Struggling to remain resilient despite the perceived length of life's challenges.
Workin' for the honey til the money's all gone
Working hard for financial stability until resources are depleted.
Everybody's makin' some 5-year plan, judging my worth by a piece of land
Observing societal emphasis on long-term plans and property ownership, contrasting with the speaker's values.
Selling their souls to the company dime but sitting in a suit ain't a goal of mine
Rejecting the idea of sacrificing personal values for corporate success, especially in a conventional corporate environment.
We're livin' our lives on borrowed time
Acknowledging the transient nature of life.
Baby, I'm tryin' my best to get along
Reiterating the effort to adapt and face life's challenges.
Baby, I'm tryin' my best to stay strong but the race feels so long
Persisting in staying emotionally strong despite the perceived difficulties of life's journey.
Workin' for the honey til the money's all gone
Continuing to work hard for a better life until resources are exhausted.
Baby, I'm tryin' my best to get along
Repeating the commitment to trying one's best to navigate life's challenges.
Baby, I try my best, try my best to stay strong for you
Expressing the speaker's dedication to staying strong, possibly for someone else.
But the race feels so long
Reiterating the perceived lengthiness of life's challenges despite efforts.
Workin' for the honey til the money's all gone
Continuing to work hard for a better life until financial resources are depleted.
