Cherry Red
Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mornin' came too soon
And I knew she'd gone by the afternoon
I said, "Please don't go"
I said "Please don't go"
I said "Please don't go"
I said "Please don't go"
When you look 'round to see me
You turn right in your bed
The warmth of my body will heat you
Make your blood run
Cherry red

The lyrics to Ty Segall's song Cherry Red depict a bittersweet moment of love and departure. The opening lines "All night long, I loved her" creates an atmosphere of intimacy, indicating that the singer had a night of passion with his beloved. However, the second line "Mornin' came too soon" shows that their time together was fleeting, and the singer knew that his lover would leave soon. The line "And I knew she'd gone by the afternoon" further emphasizes the temporary nature of their relationship.
The chorus "I said 'Please don't go'" reveals the singer's reluctance to let go of his lover. He repeats this phrase several times, indicating his desperation to convince his lover that she doesn't have to leave. The second verse "When you look 'round to see me, you turn right in your bed" suggests that the singer's lover is still thinking of him even after she has left. The imagery of "the warmth of my body will heat you, make your blood run" suggests that the singer's presence lingers in the room and reminds his lover of their passionate night together. The choice of words such as "heat" and "blood" adds to the sensual undertones of the song.
Overall, Cherry Red is a poignant depiction of love and loss. The lyrics effectively convey the fleeting nature of love and the emotions that come with it.
