Drove my friend home for the first time last night, he was coked out, screaming along to this. One of the most beautifully tragic events I’d experienced in a good minute. Great song. Great friend.
I was in a mental hospital for a few days and this song helped keep me grounded and focus on getting better and going home. Honestly its a really good song and I love it so much
I love this song. Vocal talent, musical talent and intrigue, I have got to find you guys LIVE. I missed you at the Troubidor a few years ago- totally coming to a show and bringing friends on your next trip to LA HUNNY COME BACK TO LA!!!!!🤩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤟
[Verse 1] Man is crippled and dead and Meek and eager in his sin Turn around, say you love the way I Hang around, you miss the spark in my eyes [Pre-Hook] I was a queen last night I said "Take to the water" And let you drink my lies Like, "Okay, you're right" [Hook] You can't spell pain or kiss Or run away or little mistake Without me, or A, E, I, O, U You can't spell pain or kiss Or run away or little mistake Without me, or A, E, I, O, U [Verse 2] It's not at all unusual To melt like a ball of wax or To take what I didn't ask for [Pre-Hook] I was a queen last night I said take to the water And let you drink my lies Like "Okay, you're right" [Bridge] It's important being me It's so important being me [Hook] You can't spell pain or kiss Or run away or little mistake Without me, or A, E, I, O, U You can't spell pain or kiss Or run away or little mistake Without me, or A, E, I, O, U
moru mooky to "take to" something either means to go or to like. So in the context of "being a queen", "take to the water" probably just means to go to the water
“Take to the water “ is the first part of the sentence. The full sentence in the song is “I said take to the water and let you drink my lies” . The phrase take to the water means to go to the water.
(Long read but thorough explanation!) The whole phrase: "I said "Take to the water" And let you drink my lies. Like, "Okay, you're right" Is a metaphor, and a play on words, to emphasize their difficult relationship. Similar to the metaphor (comparing two things w/o using like/as) "She let the water flow off her back": in this context water represents difficult situations or problems. (Recommend looking up metaphorical water meaning!) So the metaphor literally translates to "Her problems do not affect her." "Take to the water" therefore implies the singer is responsible for guiding their S.O. to the source of their problems in the relationship. Take to the water is synonymous to going into the water. As with another metaphor "XXX is going off the deep end (deep end of a swimming pool/body of water)" water represents frustrations/sudden loss of temper as they are skipping the shallow end which in this case represents the gradual progression of emotions . The importance of the phrase "I was a queen last night" before this line implies the singer held a position of power over EX. Not literally, but with the weight/significance of their words and was the one who called the shots in the relationship. This plays into the metaphor "And let you drink my lies." As the EX cannot drink his lies without a source (water). One cannot literally drink the lies of another person. Literally the line translates to "I allowed you to believe all the lies I told and did not bother to correct myself." The diction of using "drink", gives off similarities to flowing or smooth; as their lies were a constant steady stream with no pauses/breaks. Additionally, the diction of "drink" could be compared to ingest. As in his ex "took in/processed" his lies within their head and believed them as truths. This all comes together with the phrase "Okay, you're right." which explains the manipulativeness of the situation. In response to the singers' lies, their ex responding "Okay, you're right." means they 1. believed his lies; 2. changed their way of thinking to appease him; and 3. are no longer making an effort. Further investigating the context, it could be suggested he used forms of gaslighting to manipulate her opinion in order to keep his "power". "You're over-reacting", "How could you be thinking this way?" etc... all phrases that could be responded to with "Okay, you're right."
@@breerightthere2630 Thank you very much for the detailed explanation! I read it again and again to understand it well. It has been two years since I commented here, but I haven't fully understood yet. As I read your comment, I'm more convinced the lyrics are very profound than I thought. It really seems so helpful to learn metaphorical expressions because now I know the word “water” can describe some different situations or relationships.
Just imagine what those words mean You can't spell pain or kiss or run away or little mistake without me Or a e I o u That's deep but I think it means the person has talking to is depressed as well as him and he somehow lost her and is trying to get her back through the song
This song was written by the lead singer who was there before they got popular,and who was kicked out of the band because of his drug problem.he is my neighbor now and actually showed me this song.I’ll ask him
What if Aeiou was some weird thing invented by aliens? The government has been trying to figure out what it means for years and as a cover up to the world, just said it was part of the alphabet?
(i do not own this song or lyrics, all rights go to HUNNY). Hahahahahaha. 11,000 views of this video means Hunny lost money 11,000 times. Nice try, though.
cootaloot this video isn't monetized so the person who posted this is making any money, which means that hunny isn't losing money. if anything they are gaining 11,000 views of publicity.

I’m so surprised this hasn’t been in some original teen love movie, it’s so perfect for that kind of vibe
I was brought here by CybeR, i love this song now. its so cute.
Saaaame
Same
What's that
I know it's "Without me,or a e i o u" but I always hear it as "Without me,o a e i or you"
Maybe it's just because I think it's more cute that way
Morphine 0 I think it’s supposed to sound like that
Same bro!
I always hear "oh amy I owe you"
Took me thirty seconds to go from "what the f does this person mean" to "oh yeah, that actually is better" lol
Drove my friend home for the first time last night, he was coked out, screaming along to this. One of the most beautifully tragic events I’d experienced in a good minute. Great song. Great friend.

[Verse 1]
Man is crippled and dead and
Meek and eager in his sin
Turn around, say you love the way I
Hang around, you miss the spark in my eyes
[Pre-Hook]
I was a queen last night
I said "Take to the water"
And let you drink my lies
Like, "Okay, you're right"
[Hook]
You can't spell pain or kiss
Or run away or little mistake
Without me, or A, E, I, O, U
You can't spell pain or kiss
Or run away or little mistake
Without me, or A, E, I, O, U
[Verse 2]
It's not at all unusual
To melt like a ball of wax or
To take what I didn't ask for
[Pre-Hook]
I was a queen last night
I said take to the water
And let you drink my lies
Like "Okay, you're right"
[Bridge]
It's important being me
It's so important being me
[Hook]
You can't spell pain or kiss
Or run away or little mistake
Without me, or A, E, I, O, U
You can't spell pain or kiss
Or run away or little mistake
Without me, or A, E, I, O, U

q belezinha 💕
they're so fucking underrated
But... You can spell pain, kiss, run away, and little mistake without o...
NightForest Downfall i reckon that's why the "or" s are in them lll
Also the lyrics forgot the “your”
it's about the "WITHOUT ME" "OR YOU" part. you cant spell ... without ME. or A, E, I or YOU.
@@BenzyOW yes
Just imagine what those words mean
You can't spell pain or kiss or run away or little mistake without me
Or
a e I o u
That's deep but I think it means the person has talking to is depressed as well as him and he somehow lost her and is trying to get her back through the song

Is it weird I listened to this after I listened to the blast radius album by pepper coyote?
