Kiwi Lyrics

I think this song is about healthy eating. Specifically, I think Adam imagines trying to convince his reluctant girlfriend to the idea that eating very raw meat ("very raw" as in "alive") can be delicious ("I wanna give you something better than anything you've ever had").

Then, once she accepts and they both start taking bites of a live kiwi, Adam starts singing the praises of the bleeding bird ("Sweet kiwi / Your juices dripping down my chin").

He even recalls the time he saw and bought it ("I can’t wait to take you home / Fingers through your hair / Kisses on your back")

The bird obviously didn't enjoy being eaten ("Scratch me with your nails", "Lipstick smeared all over your face") but that's the circle of life.

People, eat your protein.
