[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
I’ve seen seasons come and go
From winter sun to summer snow
This ain’t my first time at the rodeo1
Nature ain’t a fruit machine
She’s gotta keep her credits clean
Good things come to those who wait
But I ain’t in a patient phase2
It’s summer time and I hang on a vine
They’re gonna make me into sweet red wine3
Hanging around like a fruit on a tree
Waiting to be picked, come on cut me free4
Come on fill your cup up
Looking for some good luck5
Good luck, good luck to you
Hanging like a fruit
Ready to be juiced6
Juiced, juiced
Living la dolce vita7
Life couldn’t get much sweeter
Don’t you give me a reason
That it’s not the right season8
Babe, I love you a lot
I’ll give you all I’ve got
Yeah, you know that it’s true
I’ve been saving all my summers for you9
I’ve been saving all my summers for you
Like froot, like froot
Baby, I am plump and ripe
I’m pinker than shepherd’s delight
Sweet like honeysuckle late at night10
Leave it too long I’ll go rot
Like an apple you forgot
Birds and worms will come for me11
The cycle of life is complete
I’m your carnal flower, I’m your bloody rose
Pick my petals off and make my heart explode
I’m your deadly nightshade, I’m your cherry tree
You’re my one true love, I’m your destiny12
Come on fill your cup up
Looking for some good luck
Good luck, good luck to you
Autumn, I’ll be gone
Birds will sing their mourning song,13
Song
Living la dolce vita
Life couldn’t get much sweeter
Don’t you give me a reason
That it’s not the right season
Babe, I love you a lot
I’ll give you all I’ve got
Yeah you know that it’s true
I’ve been saving all my summers for you
I’ve been saving all my summers for you
Like froot, like froot
Oh my body is ready
Yeah it’s ready, yeah it’s ready for your love14
Oh my branches are heavy
Yeah they’re heavy, yeah they’re heavy15
Living la dolce vita
Life couldn’t get much sweeter
Don’t you give me a reason
That it’s not the right season
Babe, I love you a lot
I’ll give you all I’ve got
Yeah you know that it’s true
I’ve been saving all my summers for you
I’ve been saving all my summers for you
Like froot, like froot
Living la dolce vita
I’m in love
Living la dolce vita
I’m in love
I’m in love16
“Ain’t my first time at the rodeo” is similar to saying “I’ve been around the block.”
Marina and the Diamonds compare fruit and romances in this song. Sometimes a romance is rushed, resulting in wrong timing. The relationship therefore crumbles.
Marina and the Diamonds sing about grapes in this lyric. Grapes are a famously erotic fruit associated with sensuality.
Some people linger around, waiting for something to happen in their love lives without being pro-active.
A full cup and good luck are phrase related to finding a good romantic partner.
“Ready to be juiced” means “ready to be romanced by a partner.”
“La dolce vita” is Italian for “the good life.”
Leaving a relationship due to “bad timing” is a sad excuse, according to Marina and the Diamonds.
“I’ve been saving all my summers for you” is an endearing statement meant to make one’s beloved feel valued.
The comparison of a human being with fruit carries connotations of sweetness and colorfulness.
When someone waits too long to pursue a relationship, the opportunity is often lost.
The imagery used here intends to invoke beauty and life into listeners perceptions of the relationship Marina and the Diamonds have been discussing.
The motif of love and proper timing is again brought to the surface. Different birds are associated with different seasons, and these seasons are associated with varying degrees of life. Autumn, for example, has come when everything begins to die, sometimes including romances.
“My body is ready…for you love” refers to playing sex.
Heavy branches here refer to the burden of love, which requires effort, however “worth it” that effort might be.
This song is about being happy and in love. It also has themes about proper timing in romantic relationships.
