“Strange Fruit”
The lyrics in “Strange Fruit” tell a story of a heartbreaking brutal death. To begin with “Strange Fruit” has many profound metaphors. There are three of them that stand out the most. The first is “Southern Trees bear a strange fruit” implies that down south the trees carry an unusual person hanging just as if they were a piece of fruit. This visualization that is given to you from this sentence is disturbing. Imagine being down south and this is the kind of scene you might come across. The second metaphor is “Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees” so once again this unusual person is suspended in the air hanging lifeless on a tree that does not bear fruit any time of the year.
