I think we can all agree this song is about a form of addiction. What I find interesting is they decided they wanted picking cherries for this symbolism. Picking fruits (apples, cherries, strawberry’s) is done with loved ones, I’ve personally never heard of someone going to pick fruits alone.
I like to think this addiction is most likely alcoholism, another thing done with loved ones is drinking. “Lovers turn into stranger” shows us the loved one had left of course. “Truth is that I am working, for myself and only me” shows us they’ve got into some form of denial, it’s a ‘I never actually loved you’ mentality.
“Yes, I am picking cherries, I have a hard time staying clean.”
Our final line, they’re admitting that they’re drinking alone. It’s different from drinking with friends or loved one, it’s a celebration not an addiction.
