Glass Animals – Pork Soda Lyrics 6 years ago
My interpretation of this is:

this song is about ex lovers. The narrator tells us about their relationship and how much they miss their partner.

Somewhere in South End when you were fun
You took my hand and you made me run
Up past the prison to the seafront
You climbed the cliff edge and took the plunge

the place they met probably? Or fell in love.

Why can’t we laugh now like we did then?
How come I see you and ache instead?

The narrator complains about his relations with the ex lover. He sees the person as an "ache" because they miss them and want them back, and it pains them that they're not together anymore or perhaps it pains them top see their ex with other people, and when they talk it doesn't seem "natural" or just isn't like before.

Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again

The narrator wants to try again.Maybe they broke up with their partner and now regret it and they're trying to get them back.

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cause I’m brain dead
(Got nobody 'cause I’m brain dead)

They regret that they broke up with their partner, and complain about being "brain dead" because of doing so.

I know I'm no genius of love
Don't know that I belong
Maybe I'm deaf and dumb
Maybe I'm just a bum
Maybe I never love
Don't you go psycho 'cause
I want you for the world
I want you all the time
Stop

They're thinking about their decision, and thinking about hopw much they want their partner back. The "Stop" is them trying to stop themselves from thinking about it and move on, but they can't.

Five thousand footsteps in your wet dress
Back to the house with your arms 'round my neck
We drank pork soda with tangled legs
I won’t forget how you looked at me then

They're thinking about the time they were together. All the great moments. How could they throw all this away?

I know I’m no sweet prince of love
Those times that we got drunk
Maybe Jamaica rum
Maybe some Jonnie Dub
Maybe you still think of us
Phone buzz, and still I jump
Why don’t I say it then?
I want you all the time

They say that they're not the greatest in relationship. They (again) start remembering all the great times that they and their partner had together. Then their phone buzzez and they jump , in hope that it's their ex. They realize that they can't move on.

Why can’t we laugh now like we did then?
How come I see you and ache instead?
How come you only look pleased in bed?
Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again

Again, they want to get back with their ex, start again.

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead
(Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead)
Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead
(Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead)
Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead
(Got nobody 'cause I’m brain-dead)

They want to get back with their partner so badly. They drown inm their own regret. They realize that breaking up wasn't the right thing to do and they miss the person very much, but there's nothing they can do to get them back.
