In Taylor Swift’s song “Honey,” she regains the name of a pet that was once used against her. The track hints at her fiance, Travis Kelse.
On her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift pulls back the curtains in a relationship with his fiancé Travis Kelse. Some songs are more risky than others (looking at you, “tree”), but they all track intimacy in a variety of ways. Proper Case: In her truck “Honey”, she finds comfort in the name of a pet that once felt like a conduit of lightheartedness.
Throughout the song, Swift contrasts with the way words like “Honey” and “Sweetheart” were previously used. The chorus puts it straightforward: “When someone called me “lovers,” it was passively aggressive in the bar / And the bitch told me ‘back off’ /” She recalls that once casual nicknames once carried ock laughs, as it was said in the bathroom “skirts don’t fit.”
But the song turns on moments of kindness. In the post chorus, Swift sings: Swift emphasizes the integrity behind it by saying, “You give it a different meaning, because you mean it when you speak.”
“Honey, I’m at home, we can play in the house / We can sleep and pick me up / Who is the worst on the land?” And she has been there for a long time, declaring, “You could become my eternal night stand.”
Inside the bridge, Swift calls for ways other nicknames have been made cheaper by dishonesty. “Someone called me late at night / when he was tickling with my heart,” he added, “When they called me ‘nice’ they found a way to not praise me. ” Again, she highlights past negative experiences in her current romance, singing, “You tell me to be in honor/stay until the morning.”
In “Honey,” Swift delivers a song about the interaction of love and language. The words that were once stabbed calm down as sweet sounds in her ears. Read the full lyrics to “Honey” and listen to the song below:
Restraint
You can call me “honey” because I want
mmmm
chorus
When someone calls me “lovers”
It was passively aggressive at the bar
And the bitch told me to retreat
Because her man was looking at me wrong
If someone called me “honey”
It was able to withstand the bathroom, white teeth
They said the skirt didn’t suit me
And I cried in the middle of the house
Post Chorus
But you touched my face
We’ve redefine all these blues
When you say “honey”
Section 1
Summer spritz, pink sky
You can call me “honey” because I want
Wintergreen kiss, everything is mine
I gave it a different meaning because you mean it when you speak
Honey, I’m at home, we can play at home
I can go to sleep and come and pick me up
Who is the worst person in the land? What is your plan? (What is your plan?)
You may be my eternal night stand
Honey
chorus
When someone calls me “lovers”
It was passively aggressive at the bar
And the bitch told me to retreat
Because her man was looking at me wrong
If someone called me “honey”
It was able to withstand the bathroom, white teeth
They said the skirt didn’t suit me
And I cried in the middle of the house
Post Chorus
But you touched my face
We’ve redefine all these blues
When you say
Section 2
You can call me “honey” because I want
I’m the person you want
You give it a different meaning, because when you speak you mean it
Sweety, it’s yours, kicking the door
Take it to the floor, please tell me more
Buy paint based on eye color (eye)
And my graffiti of all my life
Honeybridge
When someone called me late at night
He was screwed in my heart
Askin’, “What are you wearing?”
I don’t remember the morning
And when someone calls me “nice”
They were finding a way not to praise me
But you say you have a respect for me
And you will stay until the morning
Honey
chorus
When someone calls me “lovers”
It was passively aggressive at the bar
And the bitch told me to back off (backoff)
Because her man was looking at me wrong (he saw me wrong)
If someone calls me “honey” (aaaah)
It was able to withstand the bathroom (yeah), white teeth
They said the skirt didn’t suit me
And I cried on my way home (I went home).
