Honey Lyrics

Cover art for Honey lyrics by Tori Amos

I do think it's perhaps about a man straying, and she's saying he strayed because he's bored of her; too used to her honey (could be a metaphor for many things...sexual, perhaps, yes'..) 'i could leave your world if she was the better girl' does back up this interpretation - he's cheating on her with someone she thinks doesn't compare to her...

i reckon the 'cowgirls ride on the indian side' is, well ,her kind of saying girls take the 'indian side', as she herself is sympathetic to it being of american-indian heritage, and also maybe kind of saying women have more sympathetic qualities than men? because of the ways americans treated the american-indians, savagely...just a guess.

totally. and maybe the darker side of women that prefer the danger of a wild, natural indian and their wisdom. rather than a stereotypical idea of a cowboy, all easy to sum up.
