I love it how RHCP like to end an album with a slow and peculiar melody: just remember "Road Trippin" and "Death of a Martian". I like this one too, it reminds me of the wonderful "Lemons Never Forget" by Bee Gees.
Lyrically, I agree that it is about getting old, perhaps with some references to Anthony's father. Using strawberries as a metaphor for aging humans was also done in another beautiful song, "Fresh Strawberries" by Franz Ferdinand.
P.S. In case you don't know (I didn't), Sunset Marquis is a luxurious hotel in L.A.
