Lyrics
I dreamt that honey replaced all the tears in our eyes
I had a dream where sweetness (represented by honey) replaced all the tears in our eyes.
You touched your hand to my cheek as we started to cry
You touched my cheek as we both started crying.
Then you said that yours tasted so much sweeter than mine
You claimed that your tears tasted sweeter than mine did.
And I said I didn't like what that implied, you replied
I expressed discomfort with the implication, and you responded.
Don't go doing that thing that you always do
A warning not to engage in a certain behavior that is habitual.
Constantly chasing after a ghost that's not haunting you
Advice against pursuing something that is elusive and not relevant to your life.
You'll spend your whole life convinced nothing good happens to you
A belief that nothing positive happens to you, shaping your entire life.
Don't you get tired of having so much to prove
Questioning if the constant need to prove oneself is exhausting.
You always sat with your back so much straighter than mine
Observation that you always carry yourself more confidently than I do.
Casting your shadows with every notch in your spine
Noting how you project shadows with every hardship or challenge.
Sat in the sun, your hair catches a halo of light
Describing a moment where you sit in the sun, your hair glowing with light, while mine reflects darkness.
While mine reflects of all of the darkness of night
Highlighting the contrast between your positive aura and my darker perspective.
Which do you like
A question posed regarding preference between the two contrasting experiences.
Don't go doing that thing that you always do
A repetition of the warning not to engage in habitual, unproductive behavior.
Constantly chasing after a ghost that's not haunting you
Reiteration of advice against chasing after something that doesn't have a meaningful impact on your life.
You'll spend your whole life convinced nothing good happens to you
Reiteration of a life perspective where positive events seem unlikely.
Don't you get tired of having so much to prove
A repeated question about the exhaustion from constantly proving oneself.
I dreamt that honey replaced all the tears that I'll ever cry
A recurring dream where honey symbolizes a sweet replacement for future tears.
Year after year I collected each drop from my eyes
A metaphorical collection of tears over the years, stored in jars.
And only those jars filled my room at the end of my life
An accumulation of life experiences represented by jars of tears in a room.
I woke up afraid of what I'd leave behind
Awakening with a fear of what will be left behind in life.
