you taste like chick-food
like cockering cola cola
uuuh-uh-uh-uhuh
Hey bitch I think we're over!
I was sitting here eating apple
it was really good in my mouth
I was sitting here eating apple
it was really good in my mouth
The lyrics of Nelson Can's song "Apple Pie" may seem simple at first glance, but they actually contain deeper meaning and themes. The repetition of the line "I was sitting here eating apple, it was really good in my mouth" is symbolic of pleasure and satisfaction. The apple represents temptation, knowledge, and good taste. The heaviness in the next verse emphasizes the weight and significance of this pleasure. It is a kind of indulgence that can feel both fulfilling and decadent.
The following lines "you taste like chick-food, like cockering cola cola, uuuh-uh-uh-uhuh, Hey bitch I think we're over!" take a turn in tone. They are directed at a person or group who is perceived as feminine, weak, and superficial. The contrast between the pleasure of the apple and the disdain for the other person's taste is striking. The use of the word "over" suggests a break-up or a parting of ways. It's possible that the apple represents a form of contrast between the wholesome and pure pleasure of healthy food, and a more destructive, damaging form of pleasure that is symbolized by the partner or the relationship.
Overall, the song is a commentary on pleasure, indulgence, and the decision to take control of one's own happiness. The apple represents a form of pleasure that is fulfilling, nutritious, and good for you. The other person represents a form of pleasure that is external, toxic, and harmful. The song calls on the listener to choose wisely and prioritize their own wellbeing.
