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

"Nya nenoooo Neyyeeooo"

Such inspiring wording, almost got me into tears.

[maryann]

When the guitar said "NyEooaoOOOo.."
I felt that. 😔

After lemon boy lost his friends, he became sad. He didn't know what to do with himself. He became the loneliest lemon. Until, he met someone that loved him as much as he loved them.

Anyone just randomly find Cavetown one day and now he is your favorite artist?

[blakenelson]

I sing this song to my daughter as a lullaby every time she goes to sleep. The first time i sang it to her she was less than 24 hours old and we were alone for the first time and the sun was shining through the hospital window. Thank you.

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 !

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.

[JaxxTheDude]

To whoever put subtitles for the guitar solo, you get a gold star 🌟👍👍
