Cherry Wine
Jupiter Sunrise Lyrics

The lyrics in Jupiter Sunrise's song Cherry Wine delve into the tumultuous nature of self-discovery. The opening line, "Days full of cherry wine," references the idea of drowning oneself in a substance, which in this case is cherry wine. This act brings about a sense of clarity and becomes a conduit for introspection. The line "telling you something about yourself that someone could have just told you if they were honest" alludes to the idea that often, when we are in a state of inebriation, we pick up on things that we may have been blind to before. However, the irony is that these things could have been pointed out to us by someone we trust, but we may not have been ready to hear it.

The chorus heaps on a sense of disappointment and resignation, highlighting the idea that consuming alcohol is not a panacea for our problems. The lyrics, "And you're my cherry wine telling me something about myself I really don't want to know/Why not drown me in this state of discontent?" amplify the desperation of the singer, who wants to be consumed by their problems instead of facing them head-on. Overall, the lyrics in Cherry Wine provide a compelling insight into the complicated relationships we have with alcohol as a means of escape.
