    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.

      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

      @Schalla1641 Pƙed rokem +116

      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

      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"

I still love him though. I still don't get the fact that I thought we will always be forever regardless of how hard life is. Our relationship wasn't perfect but maybe people really do get tired, even if you truly love someone. I was there when he was at his lowest. I still do love him. Sadly, he is already enjoying his life alone.

    Lemon Boy is a representation of our inner childhood. As kids, we tend to see the world from a brighter perspective. That's why lemon boy always grows back like a weed because the narrator is still a child. Playing outside then it starts to rain? Fine, then play under the rain. It was simple back then.
    But as we grow older we tend to get a grasp on reality. Truth is, the world is ugly. We start to get pressured by what society expects us to do and worry about things we can't control. Hence the lyrics, what if we run out of fertilizer, what if the clouds run out of rain, whales start to beach themselves, and tortoise shells tear away from their spine?
    In the end, he just accepts Lemon Boy as a part of him. Not getting too attached to material things and living a simple life like Snufkin and little my. Appreciate the little things and always see the bright side in bad situations.
    Also, I love how he starts with "Lemon Boy and me" and then it became "Lemon Boy and I" in the end. Like how we realize right vs wrong as we grow older but also become boring, formal adults.😂
    I love this song

    I think this song is about him having some sort of mental illness or anxiety, and that is “lemon boy” and he is basically singing about how he got used to having “lemon boy” so he learned how to get along with it and the line “what it lemon boy don’t grow no longer” I think that since he lived with “lemon boy” for so long that he will miss it or something. Also that the line “Then his bitter sweet started to rub off on me, you’d think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat” was him saying that it started to affect him. I found this out a couple days ago and totally changed what I think while listening to this song.

      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.

    I remember listening this song on repeat two years ago, and i came up with a lil story.
    It's the story of a young boy, who is very shy and unsure of himself. A energetic and bittersweet boy starts to hang out with him at the kindergarten and they quickly become best friends. The both opposite are getting along so well, they play together everyday. But one day they fighted over a silly thing and the lemony boy got pushed on the road by the shy boy, and was hit by a car.
    The shy boy was feeling absolutely guilty and traumatized by that, of course. He couldn't accept what he had done, and in absolute denial he started having the same friendship with a yellow pillow with a smile drew on it.
    The music continues and he became more and more alone with his pillow. And years after that, when he was a young teenager, he realized the pillow lemon was ruining his life. He couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go find his childhood friend for a final visit.

      Don’t worry, it’s your funeral so you can just hire someone else to die for you. It’s like a birthday party, your the birthday person so you get presents and are allowed first on anything.

      @@SpencerOrd no, the tree actually fell unexpected. his friends tried to warn him because it was going to hit him and luckily it only slightly touched his shoulder. If you look at the behind the scenes it wasn't planned at all and that's the only reason there was a cut there because they all freaked out

  • @oofoof1398
    @oofoof1398 Pƙed 4 lety +1344

    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 believe it's more of a metaphor for mental illness, but your interpretation isn't bad

    • @spectre9340
      @spectre9340 Pƙed 4 lety +106

      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.
