A Cherry on Top Lyrics

[Verse]
Strawberry, melon, a cherry on top
Butter, popcorn that I can pop
Coffee with girls and a racing team
The Haga castle, evening cream

About

Genius Annotation

The third track on Shaking The Habitual, A Cherry On Top abandons natural song structures in favor of an atmospheric, extended song.

Starting with an ambient introduction and eventually evolving into medieval instrumentation, the song describes some of the luxuries of the upper class, specifically concerning the monarchs of Sweden, who live in the Haga palace.

The satirical tone of Karin Dreijer Andersson’s vocals, the aforementioned medieval instrumentation and the description of the Haga palace as a castle all point to a view of the established monarchy in Sweden as archaic and hedonistic.
