In this evocative track by Glass Animals, the melon and coconut metaphorically represent two individuals grappling with their changing relationship and life's progression. The coconut expresses dissatisfaction with their current lifestyle, feeling it lacks authenticity and depth, symbolized by references to "fake B-roll" and "B-sides." Conversely, the melon sees value in these seemingly insignificant moments, suggesting that sometimes the overlooked aspects of life can be the most meaningful. The song delves into themes of aging, acceptance of life’s realities, and the tension between idealism and practicality. It captures a dialogue about personal growth and the struggle to maintain one’s identity amidst life's inevitable changes.
Melon and the Coconut
Lyrics
Melon and the coconut are sitting on the floor
Coco said to Melly, "I can't do this anymore"
Everything we're doing just feels fucking cold
Everything we're shooting is just fake B-roll
B-sides, killing time, filler, that's all
How did this happen when we were so close?
How did this all go so Pete Tong?
When it all started I thought we would grow old
Living in the city with a baby and a dog
Doing school runs in a four by four
I'd make pancakes and waffles
I could be a stay at home G.I. Joe
Melly said to Coco, "You can't do this anymore"
One day, you'll see you're fucking wrong
Sometimes B-sides are the best songs
Sometimes killing time's very fruitful
I know I can't make you younger
I can't stop life moving onwards
I can't hide you from life's horrors
I'm not making you like your father
Too much quinoa and online shopping
Off-white Air Force Ones in boxes
You're a fucking coconut, can't even put 'em on
Even if you could, you couldn't even pull 'em off
