Hot Fruit
Gaz Coombes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll make my way through that look in your eyes
Our lives in slow motion like an endless dream
And I wonder where can the mad man be
In the excitement I almost forgot my mind
Then stumbled and fell back to earth in time
She's all that I desire
It feels like I've been sleeping with the setting sun
Turn up the fire
She's running hot
And I love that feeling in a place that time forgot
On the skyline in rainbows and colours she comes
And I'm blinded like eyes looking into the sun
I whisper my secrets to her while she sleeps
I know that she can hear everything
She's all that I desire
She turns it on
It feels like I've been sleeping with the setting sun
Turn up the fire
She's running hot
And I love that feeling in a place that time forgot
Hot fruit on the brain
Hot fruit on my face
[x4]
Hypnotize beautiful eyes
You're everything and all I see tonight
So anytime throw me a line
Bring me back like I always knew you would
Images that tear me apart
Let's go gonna fly to Mexico
So many times, so many times
I shake it up but it makes no sense
The opening line of the song "In the silence we move through the city of light" sets a surreal tone for the rest of the song, hinting at the feeling of being lost in the moment with someone special. The singer has a deep connection with someone ("she's all that I desire"), and their lives seem to be intertwined in a dream-like state. However, the lyrics also suggest a sense of restlessness, as the singer wonders "where can the mad man be" and stumbles and falls back to earth in time.
The chorus of the song focuses on the intense attraction and desire that the singer feels towards this person. They "turn it on" and evoke a feeling of "sleeping with the setting sun." The singer loves the feeling of being with this person in a place that time has forgotten, which could suggest a desire to escape from the real world and be lost in the moment.
The bridge of the song takes a slightly darker turn as the singer speaks of being torn apart by images, but then quickly moves back to a feeling of excitement and adventure with the line "let's go, gonna fly to Mexico." The final line of the song, "I shake it up but it makes no sense," could suggest that the singer is trying to make sense of their intense feelings but ultimately cannot find a rational explanation for them.

In the silence we move through the city of light
We're walking quietly through a city with bright lights
I'll make my way through that look in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you
Our lives in slow motion like an endless dream
Everything feels like a dream, moving in slow motion
And I wonder where can the mad man be
I'm curious about where the wild and crazy people are
In the excitement I almost forgot my mind
I got caught up in the moment and almost lost my sanity
Then stumbled and fell back to earth in time
But then reality hit me and brought me back down to earth
She's all that I desire
I want her more than anything
She turns it on
She's attractive, and makes me feel excited
It feels like I've been sleeping with the setting sun
It feels like I've been in a daze, lost in time
Turn up the fire
Increase the intensity, make things hotter
She's running hot
She's passionate and intense
And I love that feeling in a place that time forgot
I love this feeling of being in a location that is special and outside of normal time
On the skyline in rainbows and colours she comes
She's approaching, and it seems like a magical moment with bright colors and rainbows
And I'm blinded like eyes looking into the sun
I feel overwhelmed as she gets closer
I whisper my secrets to her while she sleeps
I confide in her when she's asleep and vulnerable
I know that she can hear everything
I believe she's able to understand me even in her sleep
Hot fruit on the brain
Thinking about hot and passionate things
Hot fruit on my face
Feeling the heat of passion on my face
Hypnotize beautiful eyes
Your beautiful eyes have me under your spell
You're everything and all I see tonight
You're the only thing I can focus on tonight
So anytime throw me a line
Contact me whenever you want
Bring me back like I always knew you would
Bring me back to reality as if it was expected
Images that tear me apart
Memories that make me feel emotional and torn apart inside
Let's go gonna fly to Mexico
Let's travel to Mexico together
So many times, so many times
We've done this so many times before
I shake it up but it makes no sense
I try to change things, but it doesn't make any difference
