Black Honey Lyrics

Hmmm... difficult to say what it is about. Lyrically the middle-east-oil-thing makes the most sense to me, but when I watch the music video, I see absolutely no reference to it.

Why do artists hardly ever give explainations or at least comments to their lyrics??? Sometimes it really makes me angry, when I love the sound of a song and want to know what it´s about, but the writer is not willing to give a even a hint.

@Louk777

At the end, you can see the reference to oil because it's dripping all over the trees. It's subtle, but it's a clear reference.

@Louk777 Yeah, I was also thinking of that, but isn´t that a little too less as a reference... I mean there isn´t even a clear hint that this is oil. Could also just be black honey! ;-) .... Aaaaah! What ever...

@Louk777 A song has special meaning to its writer but, in general, the song means whatever you want it to mean. I think this song is about people who go where they aren't welcome and act surprised when the "hornets" retaliate. We humans really aren't all that smart!!!
