Honey
Embracing Love's Essence: Honey's Sweet Metaphors
Lyrics
I'll always remember the smell of the first rainfall
I have a lasting memory of the scent that accompanied the first rain.
And the feeling of being so small
Recalling the sensation of feeling insignificant or humble.
Like a mouse in a concert hall
Comparing oneself to a small entity, like a mouse in a large concert hall.
And the way the grey clouds made a glare in the street
Describing how grey clouds created a reflection on the street.
That glistened bright and hurt my eyes
The reflection was bright and uncomfortable, causing eye discomfort.
While the puddles wet my feet
Puddles on the street made my feet wet.
I felt like a frog
Feeling akin to a frog, possibly suggesting a sense of being out of place.
And when I came to your doorstep wet as a lake
Arriving at someone's doorstep drenched, akin to a lake.
And rang your bell hoping you were awake
Expressing hope that the person is awake.
You greeted me like a dog
Being welcomed warmly, comparing it to how a dog is greeted.
"You thirsty?" you asked me
Being offered a drink, indicating care and hospitality.
Sleep still in your eyes
The person is still partially asleep.
"Coffee's good," I said
Choosing coffee but quickly progressing to a more intimate encounter.
But we skipped a few steps and headed straight to bed
Skipping steps and heading straight to bed.
And there was a way you kissed me that day
Describing a memorable kiss and feeling a sense of permanence.
Felt like I was yours to stay
The kiss made the speaker feel like they belong and are cherished.
And I felt like a gardener watching the first seed sprout after a drought
Feeling like a gardener witnessing the growth of the first seed after a dry spell.
I came for a visit but I never left
Originally visiting but staying longer than expected.
The days rolled by
The passage of time as days go by.
We held another and danced and laughed
Engaging in shared experiences, including dancing and laughter.
Becoming more than just lovers
The relationship transcends mere romantic involvement.
You understood my flaws
The partner understands and accepts the speaker's imperfections.
Loved me anyway
Despite flaws, the partner loves the speaker unconditionally.
Took them in your arms with me
Embracing both the positive (honey) and negative (sting of the bee) aspects.
Embracing the honey and the sting of the bee
The metaphor of honey symbolizes the sweetness of the relationship.
'Cause the honey tastes so good
The positive experiences in the relationship are enjoyable, like honey.
And the honey tastes so sweet
Reiterating the pleasure and sweetness associated with the relationship.
And the honey will stick to you like morning dew
Comparing the enduring nature of honey to the relationship's lasting impact.
And honey
No specific meaning provided in this line.
You warm my heart like a belly warms from Irish stew
The partner's warmth is likened to the comforting feeling from Irish stew.
I used to feel small
Reflecting on past feelings of insignificance before meeting the partner.
Like a mouse in a concert hall
Reiterating the comparison of feeling small like a mouse in a concert hall.
Till I met you
The speaker's perspective changes after meeting the partner, feeling significant.
Honey
Endearingly referring to the partner as "Honey," expressing affection.
