Strawberry Shortcakes
フジファブリック Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

信号点滅で準備万端万端
ランナー並んだ皇居沿いの道
合図一斉に
ドンパンドンパンドンパン
始まるね

ところ変わってここはどこ?
ランナー見下ろせるレストラン

フォークを握る君に違和感
左利き?
残しておいたイチゴ食べて
クスリと笑うずるいね
片目をつぶる君さすがだよ
上目使いでこちら見たら
まつげのカールが奇麗ね
もひとつ僕のイチゴ食べてよ

残しておいたイチゴ食べて
クスリと笑うずるいね
片目をつぶる君さすがだよ
上目使いでこちら見たら

まつげのカールが奇麗ね
もひとつ僕のイチゴ食べてよ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to フジファブリック's song Strawberry Shortcakes talks about a marathon race at the Imperial Palace in Japan. The lyrics describe the atmosphere before the race with runners standing ready and the signal ready to go. The chorus talks about a change in scenery to a restaurant where the singer notices the person next to them holding a fork and wonders if they are left-handed. The singer then notices the person's beauty and calls them sly for eating the leftover strawberries. The singer asks if they can have one too and continues to admire the person's beauty, especially their eyelashes.

Overall, the song describes the feeling of a person being captivated by someone's beauty in a seemingly ordinary situation like a marathon race and noticing the little details that make them stand out. The leftover strawberries become a metaphor for a simple and sweet pleasure in life, while the marathon itself becomes a setting for a moment of beauty.
