Peach
Ohmme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw me an apple
Peel me a tangerine
I wanted fruit
Something sweet
Cotton candy
Give it a day or two
Hunger slowly seeps into my dreams
Feel it taking over me it seems
Call me away
Shake me with laughter
Sing me a quiet tune
I'm in the mood
Spending a day
Stuck in the rafters
High up in all the trees
They're bearing fruit
Hunger slowly seeps into my dreams
Hold my head it's fading underneath
Hunger slowly seeps into my dreams
Running away
Smile of a tiger
Share with me one or two
Of all this fruit
Pick me a peach
Throw me an apple
"Pick me a peach, throw me an apple, peel me a tangerine, I wanted fruit": this verse from Ohmme's song "Peach" can be interpreted as a desire for something more with an underlying sense of urgency. The singer is asking for different types of fruit, perhaps indicating that they are looking for variety or trying to satisfy a range of cravings. The use of "pick," "throw," and "peel" suggests a need for action and immediacy. The repetition of "I wanted fruit" emphasizes this desire, while also hinting that their hunger may not be limited to just physical sustenance.
The second verse introduces the idea of something sweet, specifically cotton candy. The singer acknowledges that it may only provide temporary satisfaction, as they sing "give it a day or two, it's only food." However, with hunger creeping into their dreams, they seem to be looking for something more fulfilling. The next lines call for escape and joy, with a plea to be called away, shaken with laughter, and sung to. The image of being stuck in the rafters, high up in the trees, and surrounded by fruit may represent a feeling of being trapped by their hunger and desires.
Overall, "Peach" is a song about hunger and desire, both physical and emotional. It touches on the idea that even when our needs are met, there may still be a sense of longing or a desire for more. It also explores the tension between instant gratification and sustained fulfillment, and the potential for joy and escape in the latter.
