Strawberry Sunscreen
Lostboycrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴What's your type?
She'll paint a cabinet from the 60s
And find diamonds when she's thrifting
Oh, what's it like
To be the muse of every true romantic west of the Atlantic?
Hey little darling, run like the weekend
I get lost and found in your arms
Now which do you prefer?
To be alone, to be in love or to just be worth it?
I think you're worth it
Meet me under the movie screen
I'll kiss your face in the dark
Don't really care if it's too soon to say
But I like the way you pull me apart
Hey, do you like the velvet underground?
'Cause you got the style it takes
And I like hanging around
'Nother Sunday morning
Yeah, I've got a feeling and it feels like falling
(Hey little darling, run like the weekend)
Do you feel like falling?
(I get lost and found in your arms)
Which do you prefer?
To be alone or to be in love?
Or which one wouldn't hurt?
Would it be worth it?
Taste the strawberry sunscreen
Laughing at songs from the 90s
Don't really care if it rains or it shines
I'm still stuck inside
The treasure chest center of both of your eyes
Kiss with them open, see what it's like to be loved
Overall Meaning
The song "Strawberry Sunscreen" by Lostboycrow talks about the singer's admiration for a girl through describing her unique qualities. In the first verse, she is portrayed as someone who has a knack for DIY, restoring old objects and finding beauty where others may not recognize it. Her charm lies in that quality, as she sparks fascination in other people easily.
In the chorus, it's apparent that the singer is regretful for not being able to hold onto the girl he's talking about. It's said that he feels lost and found at the same time when he's with her. He asks the girl whether she would prefer to be alone or be in love, and if being loved is worth it.
In the second verse, the singer asks the girl if she likes the Velvet Underground, a band known for their experimental music in the 1960s - this ties into the first verse where the girl is described painting a cabinet from a different era. The melody slows down and becomes reflective in the bridge, where the singer invites the girl to taste the moment, to laugh, and to kiss with open eyes.
Overall, the song seems to explore a fleeting romance or a missed opportunity, while also emphasizing the beauty in the little things, like restoring old objects or laughing to songs from different eras.
