Sweet So Till
The Gladiators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The apple that I pick in your garden
I said it nice, it nice, it nice so till
It's the sweetest thing I ever taste
Oh Mary, oh Mary, oh Mary Jane
When I pick your apple again
Is it cherry, chocolate or vanilla?
I said I like it, I like it, I like it so
I won't run away, I'll stay and take some more
Cause it sweet, it sweet, it sweet so till
The apple that I pick in your garden
I said it nice, it nice, it nice so till
It's the sweetest thing I ever taste
What kind of flavor you put in it make it so sweet
Is it cherry, chocolate or vanilla?
I said I like it, I like it, I like it so
I won't run away, I'll stay and take some more
Cause it sweet, it sweet, it sweet so till
The apple that I pick in your garden
I said it nice, it nice, it nice so till
It's the sweetest thing I ever taste
The Gladiators' song "Sweet So Till" tells the story of a person who is enjoying the sweetness of love with their partner. The song uses the metaphor of a sweet apple picked from a garden to describe the deliciousness of their relationship. The singer expresses how much they enjoy the taste of this love and they want more of it. They are asking their lover what they put in it to make it so sweet, wondering if it is cherry, chocolate, or vanilla flavor.
As with most reggae music, the simple lyrics of "Sweet So Till" hold a deeper message. The song suggests that the sweetness of love is not just about physical desire or attraction but also about finding solace in another person. The idea of "picking an apple from a garden" implies that true love is something that must be grown and nurtured, and that it is worth the time and effort that goes into cultivating it.
The upbeat sound of the song, as well as the smoothness and simplicity of the lyrics, further emphasize the idea that the sweetness of love is something to be enjoyed in the present moment, rather than something to be analyzed or overthought.
