Pineapple
Maximum the Hormone Lyrics

The above lyrics are from the Japanese band Maximum the Hormone's song "Pineapple". The song seems to be about self-reflection and introspection. The first few lines ask the listener to question their own understanding of themselves - "What do you think of your upper points? What kind of man are you? I wonder how deep do you understand yourself". The following lines suggest that a person's relationship with themselves is the most important one they will ever have - "More than your parents, more than your friends, Until you die, though you don't hope so, You must company with yourself." The lyrics seem to suggest that, throughout life, a person must learn to accept themselves and appreciate their own worth. This is further reinforced in the lines "I treasure my self from now on I'll be gentle, Though I'm terribly stubborn, after all, I suffer".

The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that self-love is important and that a person should prioritize themselves over their romantic relationships - "More than your parents, more than your friends, Until you die, though you don't hope so, You should love yourself more than your lover". The song encourages listeners to keep their priorities straight and to focus on their own growth and development. The final lines of the song "Keep ideal man (in your heart) and your (trust away), Just walk intently but firmly, myself don't expose at all" suggest that a person should hold on to their values and beliefs, but remain guarded and private about themselves.
