In this poignant track by Thrice, the lyrics delve into the human tendency to persistently pursue desires and goals, even when faced with continual setbacks and consequences. The repeated imagery of swinging through a swarm of bees symbolizes relentless efforts to achieve something sweet or valuable (honey) despite the pain and challenges (stings). The song highlights a cycle of determination and frustration, underscoring a sense of entitlement ("I deserve the best") and the stubbornness to keep trying regardless of adverse outcomes. Furthermore, it touches on the collateral damage inflicted on others during these pursuits, as seen in the lines about friends and family being affected. Ultimately, it serves as a reflection on human nature's drive for success at any cost, often leading to unintended harm 🍯🐝.
Black Honey
Lyrics
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table
But I never get it right
No, I never get it right
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want
I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I've got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
Till you do what I want
I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I've got what I need
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly 'cause I
I like all the pretty colors
It just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others
'Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want
I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I've got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
Till you do what I want
I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I've got what I need
This time, I'll get it right
This time, I'll get it right
It's gonna be this time, I'll get it right
God, let it be this time I get it right
So I'm cutting that branch off the cherry tree
Singing, "This will be my victory,"
Then I see them coming after me
And they're following me across the sea
And now they're stinging my friends and my family
And I don't know why this is happening
But I'll do what I want
I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I've got what I need
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table
