About This Track

'Honesty' by Son Lux is an alternative track from the album 'Tomorrows I', released in 2020. The lyrics frame a pointed address to a lover, circling around “honesty” as something tested by what gets bent, spent, and ultimately repaid. There is an accusatory, self-incriminating edge to the inventory of consequences, from the idea of reaping what is sown to the vivid, physical mess of evidence. Over its questioning refrain, the song builds a sense that truth is both intimate and unforgiving, with affection strained by moral accounting.

"Honesty" is a track by Son Lux, from the album Tomorrows I, released 13th August 2020. The track is 5:09 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Son Lux.

Lyrics

Honesty

What are you doing, love
Are you doing, love
What are you doing, love
With your honesty

What
You bent intention 'till your time was spent
You're reaping what you've sown
But what you hoped would never grow

Evidence under your fingernails
Mud in nose and mouth
Are you digging in or out

Now you can clean your dirty face
Baptising the dead
Drain the soul
To sink the head

And praying hard is not enough
You were not supposed to bleed this way
Now you're hoping for the holy
In this fucked up place
From kinder ghosts
Some kind of place

What are you doing, love
Are you doing, love
What are you doing, love
With your honesty

What are you doing, love
Are you doing, love
Are you doing, love
With your honesty

What are you doing, love
Are you doing, love
What are you doing, love
With your honesty
