Sticky Fruitman Has Faith
White Fence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and don't pull the reigns
shoot out glue
that sticks like the fruit
i'm loosening
these arms again
and how does it feel to walk again?
we're free to give
in fair times and bad
the tea tastes the same
i got my teeth so white again
but the gums are crimson red
the hills are alive
with the sound of music (la la la la)
The lyrics to White Fence's song Sticky Fruitman Has Faith are quite enigmatic and can be interpreted in a number of ways. At the outset, the lyrics seem to refer to slowing down and letting go of one's inhibitions. The opening line "Ride me slow, and don't pull the reins" can be interpreted as a plea to take things easy and not be too controlling. The next line "shoot out glue that sticks like the fruit" seems to refer to a sense of attachment, a desire to stick to something or someone that is important.
The next line "I'm loosening these arms again" suggests a release from something that was once holding the singer back. This could be seen as a metaphor for a personal struggle, a mental block or even a physical injury. The line "and how does it feel to walk again?" reinforces the sense of liberation and the desire to explore new horizons.
The next stanza is even more enigmatic. The line "when water walks on wine, we're free to give" could be interpreted in a number of ways. At its most basic level, it suggests that when something impractical or impossible happens, doors are opened and opportunities arise. The line "in fair times and bad, the tea tastes the same" is a reflection on the consistency of life, how the simple pleasures remain constant, regardless of the circumstances.
The final lines of the song are a reference to the Sound of Music, the iconic musical movie that tells the story of a family in Austria in the 1930s. The line "the hills are alive with the sound of music (la la la la)" suggests a sense of joy and freedom, an outlook that is scarcely hinted at in the earlier lyrics.
Overall, the lyrics to Sticky Fruitman Has Faith are poetic and cryptic, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of the singer's mind. Whether interpreted literally or metaphorically, they offer a sense of freedom, liberation and joy that is uplifting and inspiring.
Line by Line Meaning
Ride me slow
Take it easy and don't rush it
and don't pull the reigns
Don't try to control everything or hold me back
shoot out glue
Give it everything you've got
that sticks like the fruit
Make it something that lasts
i'm loosening
I'm letting go
these arms again
Of the things I once held onto
and how does it feel to walk again?
To be free and unburdened
when water walks on wine,
In moments of awe and wonder
we're free to give
We're liberated and open-hearted
in fair times and bad
In good and bad times alike
the tea tastes the same
Things are just as they should be
i got my teeth so white again
I've got my act together
but the gums are crimson red
But there's still some pain
the hills are alive
The world is full of wonder
with the sound of music (la la la la)
And joy and beauty abound
