Lyrics:
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So I got myself a citrus friend
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
You’d think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
And they weren’t too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So, I got myself a citrus friend
But what if I run out of fertilizer
What if the clouds run out of rain
What if Lemon Boy won’t grow no longer
What if beaches dry of sugarcane
Oh well
The whales start to beach themselves
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever
Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
Yeah, we’re the bitterest guys around
And I got myself a citrus friend

Hi hi hi !
So actually, Cavetown explained that Lemon boy is his anxiety, and this song talk about him living with anxiety and how he decided to accept it and befriend it instead of ignore or hate it.
You just have to search Lemon boy Cavetown meaning and here it is !
Ah thank you ive been wondering. Comments like yours should be at the top, sigh. I thought it was about becoming friends with the loner and depressed kid who everyone else bullied/avoided, and grew to understand/appreciate the way lemon boy thought and saw the world. 'What if i run out of fertilizer' is like he ome day doesn't have good enough words to say in comforting lemon boy and convincing him not to commit suicide. 'What if lemon boy dont grow no longer'- what if he kills himself and isnt able to grow old with him.
@@acecelia3262 You're welcome !
And a music is good, when there is several interpretations about its meaning, so the fact that you're interpretation is different than Cavetown's, means that this song is really good ^^
@@lolitacalveras1815 hahah yeah true 😄
I thought it was about gender disphoria and over coming it. Like the first part was realizing it's there, the part about his parents being the savoury type meaning they might not take it well and the rest is finding self love and acceptance and being who you really are
Cecelia I like your interpretation a lot too! I agree that if you can find many meanings in a song that means it’s really good

He said that the interlude midway was painfully true as he knew me while I was going through a suicidal swing, but this song will forever make me think of him. I love him so much, thank you cavetown.

Just a fun sharing. There's a Malay idiom "kawan makan kawan (car-one ma-can car-one, ma as in jack ma, can as can't in British accent) which if translated directly to English it goes *"friend eats friend"* meaning someone who backstabbed/betrayed their own friend.
Usually use to describe someone's behaviour/action as a friend. Like when someone steal their bestfriend's boyfriend or play foul in assignments. People around you will go, "Don't get to close with her. She's a 'kawan makan kawan' type of friend"
Imagine taking a stroll in the woods and finding a broken lemon piñata, a ton of lemons with bites taken out of them, and lemon zest air fresheners hanging from trees.
"do people like lemons or Is this a cult about lemons?"
This should be a horror story, just imagine.
You walk through the woods at this dark hour. Some would say you are a freak, enjoying the night, but you disregard them. You can enjoy your time and they should enjoy theirs.
As you continue walking you notice that there is a change in the air. It smells like lemons. You look visibly uncomfortable. They were something you have never been fond of, the bitter taste just wasn’t for you. They reminded you too much of the past, and they honestly scared you when there were too many.
“Huh. Weird.” You say, as you continue walking. It was strange, but you weren’t interested into getting into someone else’s business. That was theirs to deal with and not yours. You didn’t want to pry in someone’s life, you kept to yourself and they did too. That was a mistake you make once and only once.
Squelch!
You snap out of your thoughts, investigating the floor for what would make that noise. It did not sound like mud. As you lift your boot, you see its pieces of a lemon. It was definitely a coincidence. Definitely! Nothing wrong there! Nope!
You turn around, blood rushing to your head. You had to leave, it was getting a bit too scary out here. And-
There was a piñata on the forest floor.
A broken lemon piñata.
You are so scared, you don’t even hear yourself scream, or them running up behind you.

When I was 14 years old i love to listen this song without knowing the real meaning of the lyrics. But Now i know the real meaning of the song. It was wonderful meaning if you guys try to understand it
Im 13 and started listening to this daily and i love it but still cant find the meaning
Can u tell me the meaning ?
@@zzzz-sg4pb I'm 13 and this is one of my favorite songs. I would also love to know the meaning of the lyrics
For this who want to know, I think this is about being friends with someone who has depression/anxiety while you have your own issues
it being a song about being a good friend is a possible interpretation but it could also be about realizing you're lgbtq!
the denial at the beginning (pulled him out by his hair like a weed), starting to accept oneself (started to get along together), feeling good in one's skin because of that (it's actually pretty easy beeing nice), rejection by one's surrounding (found out that my friends were more of the savoury type) and the little doubts you can have. like even if you know yourself and are sure maybe some people are right and you're deluding yourself (tortoise shells tear away from their spine it happens all the time (the point is that never happens)). and then it ends with affirmation that no this is valid, this is part of your life, and it's ok and nice even.
edit: got mixed up and it's not the offical interpretation! cavetown just said lemon boy is a part of himself and not another person

So what I think this song is about is that lemon boy is like the shy kid or a kid with anger issues (why he calls him a bittersweet boy) and he wants to become friends with robin. Robin is hesitant at first but they eventually become friends. robin starts acting like lemon boy and robins friends don’t like lemon boy because of his personality. Robin doesn’t care and they stay friends. Soon robin is scared of losing lemon boys friendship (what if I run out of fertilizer, what if the clouds run out of rain, etc.) but he concludes that he won’t and eventually they become best friends
Either that or he’s literally talking about befriending a lemon
(People I know it’s about anxiety Sri replying to it saying that it’s about anxiety)
I mean, you never know.
what if he is the lemon boy?
I believe it's more of a metaphor for mental illness, but your interpretation isn't bad
My interpretation of it is someone developing depression or something like that. He ripped Lemon Boy out of the ground but he came back. Most people try to deny their depression.
The friends being savory types and not really liking Lemon boy could be his friends not liking the person he's becoming when his depression starts becoming more visible.
And finally, him remaining friends with Lemon boy could be him finally accepting his depression and learning to live with it.
the “offical meaning” is about robbie's anxiety but I love these interpretations
I met him because of this song two years ago. Until now is one of my favorite cavetown songs
"Lemon Boy and I are gonna live forever"
Not if you keep murdering him like that,

I just love how this song makes depression appear less horrible and turns it into something you can be friends with
I kinda thought it was about being gay, or something.
Yeah no I thought it was something abt transmen--
I guess it can be about many things
@@johnsatan117 the singer themself said “Lemon Boy is the anxiety, the negativity, the illness that’s inside all of us, and that is very strong inside me. A way of being happy for me is disassociating myself from those things, but also learning to live alongside them as a friend. I really hate Lemon Boy sometimes but he’s never going away, and I can use him for good.”
its about mental illness
Hence the lyrics in juliet being "my sour boy is a pain I wanna shoot him in the brain but I'd miss him in the morning"

its crazy this was made in 2017! this is still one of my favorite songs and is on almost every playlist ive ever made!
I think this song is about befriending a misfit of society. When he says 'I found out that my friends were more of the savoury type' he means his friends had started to express their discomfort of being around that person. In 'What if I run out of fertilizer?' he is worried about not being able to protect that misfit from being targeted by society. At the end of the song he becomes just like him, but does not care as long as he is with his friend.
that's exactly how interpreted it.
Polecat I think it’s about you repressing the part of you that contains anger and other negative emotions, and when you finally let out that bitter part of you, your friends like you less
stale memes This is also a good interpretation.
stale memes yeh ur right
I think lemon boy is a depression or anxiety and his friends dont except that so he has to just live with it and the fertilizer part is meaning that he doesnt know who he will become o ce lemon boy is gone
my fave lyrics were "nenenene Nyeeeewwwww" so inspiring... so filled with raw emotions.. its art in its truest form
i know right? it brought tears to my eyes...so much emotion
It's almost as great as "Instrumental with WoooOoOOOs"
Agree lmaoo truly touches my heart
