Froot

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Froo-oo-oo-oot
Lalalalalala
Ju-u-u-uice
Lalalalalala

I've seen seasons come and go
From winter sun to summer snow
This ain't my first time at the rodeo

Nature ain't a fruit machine
She's gotta keep her credits clean
Good things come to those who wait
But I ain't in a patient phase

It's summer time and I hang on a vine
They're gonna make me into sweet red wine
Hanging around like a fruit on a tree
Waiting to be picked, come on cut me free

Come on fill your cup up
Looking for some good luck
Good luck, good luck to you
Hanging like a fruit
Ready to be juiced
Juiced, juiced

Living la dolce vita
Life couldn't get much sweeter
Don't you give me a reason
That it's not the right season

Babe, I love you a lot
I'll give you all I've got
Yeah, you know that it's true
I've been saving all my summers for you
I've been saving all my summers for you
Like fruit, like fruit

Baby, I am plump and ripe
I'm pinker than shepherd's delight
Sweet like honeysuckle late at night

Leave it too long I'll go rot
Like an apple you forgot
Birds and worms will come for me
The cycle of life is complete

I'm your carnal flower, I'm your bloody rose
Pick my petals off and make my heart explode
I'm your deadly nightshade, I'm your cherry tree
You're my one true love, I'm your destiny

Come on fill your cup up
Looking for some good luck
Good luck, good luck to you
Autumn, I'll be gone
Birds will sing their mourning song
Song

Living la dolce vita
Life couldn't get much sweeter
Don't you give me a reason
That it's not the right season

Babe, I love you a lot
I'll give you all I've got
Yeah, you know that it's true
I've been saving all my summers for you
I've been saving all my summers for you
Like fruit, like fruit

Oh my body is ready
Yeah it's ready, yeah it's ready (for your love)
Oh my branches are heavy
Yeah they're heavy, yeah they're heavy

Living la dolce vita
Life couldn't get much sweeter
Don't you give me a reason
That it's not the right season

Babe, I love you a lot
I'll give you all I've got
Yeah, you know that it's true
I've been saving all my summers for you
I've been saving all my summers for you

Like fruit (living la dolce vita)
Like fruit (I'm in love)
Living la dolce vita




I'm in love
I'm in love

Overall Meaning

In "Froot," Marina is using the metaphor of a fruit to talk about herself and her relationships. She starts by commenting on the cycles of seasonality in life and how she's seen them all. This experience has made her impatient, as she's tired of waiting for good things to come to her. She sees herself as a fruit on a vine, waiting to be picked and used. She's ready to be cut free and juiced. The repeated "la la las" in the chorus are a representation of the party lifestyle and superficial experiences that she's been indulging in.


Marina then sings about how her life is sweet and that she's enjoying it while it lasts, but not to give her a reason why she can't have more. She is saving herself for love, but warns that if she is left too long, she'll go bad. She uses the metaphor of a fruit left to rot to represent the natural progression of life, but also perhaps to comment on the perishable nature of relationships. She is ready for love and declares her body and branches are heavy and ready.


Overall, Marina is expressing her desire for love and intimacy, using the metaphor of a fruit to comment on her own nature as a person who is ready to be consumed by love. She is eager to experience what life has to offer before it's too late.

FROOT SURPRISE!

Marina and The Diamonds released this without preparing anyone!
I love it, it's so nice to see her happy in her videos rather than singing about heartbreak and stuff.

Bit disappointed that the channel and bridge sections are missing. The channels are my favourite lyrics:
It’s summer time and I hang on a vine
They’re gonna make me into sweet red wine
Hanging around like a fruit on a tree
Waiting to be picked, come on cut me free

I’m your carnal flower, I’m your bloody rose
Pick my petals off and make my heart explode
I’m your deadly nightshade, I’m your cherry tree
You’re my one true love, I’m your destiny

@chickengirlslyrics

the way she says “living la dolce vita” HEAVENLY.

@doci6139

She spells it in a wrong way. She says: "Living la dolce viDa" but "Dolce vita" is Italian, so it's "viTa"

@felizbird

Yes!!

@lisadallmeier2854

Do Ci as an Italian, I would prolly also sing it like that. The sharp “T” in vita would kinda interrupt the smooth singing flow. Also, in the next line she pronounces “sweeter” rather with a “D” and “viDa” rhymes better with that than “viTa”. :)
