Thought I’d be the fresh fruit
Like a food sample
Without a bruise
But I’m covered in bruises
I’m looking at the bills now
Hoping all of this is just a scam
Haven’t been to a salon in months
But I’m alright
All I want now is someone I can trust
Somewhere I can call home
And some day I’ll be strong
This is not what I imagined but this is meant to be
I feel it in my bones
Not that fresh anymore
But the taste is guaranteed
These days, your sympathy stings my wounds like antiseptic
Three steps forward, but it feels like four steps back
You taught me how to breathe
But it took me three years to get it right
And I’m not that young anymore
Thought I’d be the fresh fruit
Like a food sample without a bruise
But I’m covered in bruises
All I want now is someone I can trust
Somewhere I can call home
And some day I’ll be strong
This is not what I imagined but this is meant to be
I feel it in my bones
Not that fresh anymore
But the taste is guaranteed
This is the fresh start
I’m covered in bruises
Yeah, I’m still beautiful

Fresh Fruit
YASUKA
"Fresh Fruit" is a song about the pressure of being young and successful.
I used the metaphor of fruit to express how society often values "freshness" - being new, perfect, and without flaws.
But in reality, we all carry bruises.
This song is about accepting those imperfections and realizing that they don't make us less valuable.
It's for anyone who feels like they're running out of time or falling behind.
