cherry tree
Royz Lyrics

The lyrics to Royz's song "Cherry Tree" express the emotions of a woman torn between two men - the one she is with and the one she truly loves. The opening lines "In your chest, our tongues entwined, mixing sweet nectar with our breath" establish the physical intimacy between the singer and her lover. However, she describes herself as a coward - "a coward who feels love" - acknowledging that her heart is not solely devoted to the person in her arms. As she shares a passionate moment with her partner, she wishes to forget the third character in this love triangle - "His presence that comes in between, let's quietly forget it."

The second half of the song, however, reveals the singer's inner conflict. She closes her eyes in her dream, imagining that she and the man she truly loves are able to remove their rings and be together magically - "It feels like a spell has been cast over me." She is aware that her thoughts of the other man are betraying her current lover - "The words that come out of my mouth are gradually becoming lies." The chorus repeats, begging for a brief moment where she can forget her guilt and indulge in the pleasure of her lover's kiss. The cherry tree, a metaphor for a beautiful but fleeting aspect of nature, symbolizes the ephemeral nature of their relationship.
