about

(Bergman, 1957)
Chasing the time away

This was among the first to be written therefore it is in D, or the intro and chorus is anyway, and the song simply chronicles the salient images of the plot. The wild strawberries are the “rosebud” of the story, that burning emblem of innocence lost that reminds us that we shouldn’t ever sacrifice too much for empty accolades.

lyrics

Confirmed pedant, guilty of guilt - I can’t understand the charges
Fiftieth jubilee doctorate - your duty is to ask for forgiveness

He’s taking the car, that’s not what we planned
She’s going back to Evald, to stare at his hands
Don’t bother telling me, if the news has been cast
We have our principles, he’ll pay it at last

Birds and leaves and spilt wild strawberries
Look once more in the mirror alone
A screaming moon with lighthouse clouds
Birds in black branches flap at their homes

Wild strawberries chasing the time
Mild memories, meek and unkind
Wild strawberries chasing the time away

An empty morning walk, in an unknown place
The box tips open, lean and see your own face
It peers down at you, hands behind its back
The clock has no clues, it stares right through you

An empty white cradle, a nail exposed
Surgical masterpiece, desperate repose
Birds and leaves and spilt wild strawberries
Look once more in the mirror alone

Wild strawberries chasing the time
Mild memories, meek and unkind
Wild strawberries chasing the time away
Wild strawberries chasing the time
Mild memories, meek and unkind
Wild strawberries chasing the time away

Confirmed pedant, guilty of guilt - I can’t understand the charges
Fiftieth jubilee doctorate - your duty is to ask for forgiveness
