Honey
Reflections of Time: Conversations with the Soul in John Reless' 'Honey'
Lyrics
Slow down, honey
Expressing a request to someone, possibly to take things at a slower pace.
I just wanna talk to you
Expressing a desire to have a conversation with the person addressed in line 1.
Slow down, honey
Reiteration of the request to slow down, emphasizing the need for patience.
I just wanna talk to you
Repeating the desire to talk, maintaining a calm and patient tone.
When I think about all the things I could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities or paths not taken in life.
I never thought I'd be
Expressing surprise at the current state or circumstances in life.
Timed by my body, unfortunately
Feeling controlled or dictated by physical aspects, possibly referencing aging.
Oh how we grow old
Reflecting on the inevitability of aging and the passage of time.
Changed my mind, there's gotta be a way
Changing one's perspective, exploring the possibility of being valuable or useful.
I can be useful
Expressing a willingness to contribute and make a positive impact.
Maybe if I join the army and go to war
Considering joining the army and engaging in war as a means of self-improvement.
I can be the best version you'll ever see
Aspiring to become the best version of oneself through personal growth and challenges.
There's already wars inside my head every day
Acknowledging internal struggles or conflicts within the mind.
The past is the past, how could I trick myself into thinking that way?
Reflecting on the futility of dwelling on the past and deceiving oneself with false thoughts.
Slow down, honey
Repeating the request to slow down, maintaining a gentle and patient tone.
I just wanna talk to you
Reiterating the desire for a conversation with the person addressed in line 15.
Slow down, honey
Re-emphasizing the need for patience and a calm approach to communication.
I just wanna talk to you
Repeating the desire to engage in a conversation, underscoring its importance.
Where'd you think the time went when you said
Questioning the disappearance of time when someone claimed to possess it.
You had it, you had it
Expressing doubt or skepticism about someone's assertion of having time.
These days are not mine to keep
Acknowledging the transient nature of days and the inability to possess them.
This body's a rental
Metaphorically referring to the body as a temporary vessel or rental.
Clocks on the wall ticking to their beat
Noting the relentless passage of time, represented by ticking clocks on the wall.
You can't ignore them
Highlighting the inevitability of acknowledging and dealing with the passage of time.
Maybe if you take a step and realize
Suggesting a need for awareness and understanding of the messages conveyed by time.
They're messengers, not editors
Distinguishing the role of time as messengers rather than editors of life experiences.
There's already wars inside my head every day
Reiterating the existence of internal conflicts within the mind on a daily basis.
The past is the past, how could I trick myself into thinking that way?
Re-emphasizing the futility of dwelling on the past and deceptive thoughts about it.
Slow down, honey
Repeating the request to slow down, maintaining a gentle and patient tone.
I just wanna talk to you
Reiterating the desire for a conversation with the person addressed in line 29.
Slow down, honey
Re-emphasizing the need for patience and a calm approach to communication.
I just wanna talk to you
Repeating the desire to engage in a conversation, underscoring its importance.
