Cherry on Top
Oh Land Lyrics

Small boy, big teeth
Despite being small, this boy has a large appetite for life and is eager to experience all it has to offer.

Going in for a bite
The boy is not afraid to take chances and is willing to take risks to achieve his goals.

Small world big dreams
Although the world may seem limited in size, the boy has grand aspirations and big plans.

Spilling ink on your life
The boy is creating a story with his life, leaving his mark and making an impact on the world around him.

And now the champagne's raining on your window
Life seems to be showering the boy with success and good fortune, but he is still alone.

And you're all alone
Despite his accomplishments, the boy feels isolated and disconnected from others.

Dream house built inside a snow globe
The boy has created an idealized version of his life, but it is limited in scope and contained within his own imagination.

But there’s no one home
Despite having everything he has dreamed of, the boy still feels empty and unfulfilled.

Slow down
The song warns the boy to take a moment to appreciate what he has and to not get swept up in the pursuit of more.

You can have it all but you never stop
The boy has achieved so much already, but his desire for more never fades.

'Cause all you ever want is the cherry on top
The boy's desire for more is not rooted in necessity, but rather in the pursuit of the ultimate symbol of success.

And all you ever dreamed of, it ain’t enough
Despite achieving his dreams, the boy is never satisfied and always wants more.

You’ll never fill that hole with the cherry on top
The boy's desire for more is insatiable and can never be filled, no matter how much success he achieves.

Too late, freight train
The boy's drive for success has become a force that is unstoppable and out of control.

Spinning out of control
The boy's pursuit of success has become so intense that it is taking him to new heights, but also causing him to spiral out of control.

And I’ve been waiting at every station
Someone has been trying to get the boy's attention, but he has been too focused on success to notice.

You didn’t notice at all
The boy's drive for success has blinded him to the people and relationships that matter most.

Looking for a rose without a thorn
The boy is seeking perfection, but is not willing to accept the flaws and imperfections that come with it.

Trapped in your thoughts
The boy is so consumed by his desire for success that he cannot see beyond his own thoughts and ambitions.

And they’ll never see the calm before the storm when you missed the drops
The boy's single-minded pursuit of success has caused him to miss out on the small moments of joy and happiness that come before the chaos and stress of achieving his goals.
