Remember Where You Are Lyrics
Milling round, encroaching on
My right of way and under the battle scars of daddy’s latest lesson
Little time for intuition
Little time for cry-babies
Come on son can't you not take a joke?
More sticks and stones to break you
It's freezing in here, can't even dress yourself
Lie awake still waiting on a single bite of cherry for you
Hold it in your arms
Jeopardise what little you have
See any further than your own faults
A single bite of cherry for you
And yours is not to question
And down the road a shining haven
Rocks, slaves and ... mothers
Live around the corner from themselves
You'll never break the chain will you?
It's freezing in here, can't even dress yourself
Lie awake still waiting on a single bite of cherry for you
Hold it in your arms
Don't jeopardise what little you have
See any further than your own faults
A single bite of cherry for you
And yours is not to question
Question it all, clutch your pride and all you could ever learn
The sorrow...
No hope left for you to nurture
I just wrote the ending years ago
Way down the line
Don't you run too far away from home
Don't you trust what you have never known
Don't go far remember where you are
Remember where you are
A single bite of cherry for you (x4)
My right of way and under the battle scars of daddy’s latest lesson
Little time for cry-babies
Come on son can't you not take a joke?
More sticks and stones to break you
Lie awake still waiting on a single bite of cherry for you
Hold it in your arms
Jeopardise what little you have
See any further than your own faults
A single bite of cherry for you
And yours is not to question
Rocks, slaves and ... mothers
Live around the corner from themselves
You'll never break the chain will you?
Lie awake still waiting on a single bite of cherry for you
Hold it in your arms
Don't jeopardise what little you have
See any further than your own faults
A single bite of cherry for you
And yours is not to question
The sorrow...
No hope left for you to nurture
I just wrote the ending years ago
Way down the line
Don't you trust what you have never known
Don't go far remember where you are

a single bite of cherry for you
Once again, a song about the cycle of abuse that is passed down from family members (in some cases) and needs to be broken. What does the "cherry" symbolize, though? Maybe someone is making their kid eat the cherry of a cigar as punishment for not getting dressed fast enough? Kidding (even though that's not funny). Maybe it's some UK slang.
chambers reference states that two bites or another bite at the cherry is colloquial for an unexpected further opportunity. so i guess a single bite of cherry stands for no hope for a change.
