My 2 year old sister was having a fit; she was screaming and crying, and overall just wasn’t giving a shit about anything. I played this song for her and she just stopped. She calmed down in an instant. It was like magic.
Lemon boy represents his anxiety and depression. The song is about how Robbie has learned to deal with Lemon boy and has even gotten used to having him around and also how he has become attached to him and is scared to lose him as he feels that by losing lemon boy he's losing a part of himself. saw this on reddit and thought I could share it...
I like how in the beginning he forcefully ripped lemon boy out from his garden by his head and at the end they discovered immortality together lol we stan some character development
Yeah that’s true, most of my friends know lemon boy, not This is Home...though they’re both good songs! Cavetown is underrated though XD there will never be enough love for me to be satisfied with his ratings :>
True! This is home is a favorite of mine, but I also love Lemon Boy and Boys Will Be Bugs. I want to hear more though. I've only just started listening.
@@laneyyyyyyyyy Its the same meaning but I think that "Lemon boy and me" feels more like you're only an addition to "lemon boy" but with "Lemon boy and I" is like you have the same level of importance. But don't take me too seriously anyway. English isn't my first language haha. That's just the way I see it.
“It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him” that part is so satisfying for me Edit: Someone said to revisit this so I am, this song is still very nice to my ears (Aug 6 2022)
I love lemons this song means a lot to me because of my love for lemons and my best friend that died in 2017. He used to call me lemon and his nickname was lime. I miss him a lot...
no one: not a soul: not even a breath: Cavetown, lemon boy official lyrics, under mv: **guitar part starts** NeeWewAWewewWENENearEAEEAEwwwEAEEAewewewew
In high school I was angry and depressed. I knew a girl who would watch me. Study me almost. One day we started talking and became friends. Turns out she was the only one who could calm me down when I was on the brink of losing it. She could make me laugh about almost anything. The next year she decided to let me listen to this song, said that I was her citrus friend. We only got closer after that. One day she had to leave. I never got to tell her that I loved her. It’s been a few years now. And today I remembered this song. After all this time I’m still that citrus friend, but I have no one to mow the lawn with now.
I always wondered what this song was about. I came up with a lot of different theories and then one day it finally hit me, so here is what I believe the song to be about: Lemon boy is a part of him. It's the part of him that he always thought would be hard to love because it's cynical, depressed, and "bitter". But one day, instead of trying to deny this part of himself, he embraces it and shows it compassion and thus becomes friends with lemon boy. But his friends don't seem to understand and they leave because they haven't learned to love the bitter parts of themselves. And he also worries about whether or not he will always be able to love the bitter parts of himself too. But he acknowledges that it's inevitable that there will be tough days, and times when he might not like lemon boy so much. And that's okay. In the end he realizes that it is better to befriend his own inner flaws and demons because ultimately, they are every bit a part of him as all the positive aspects are. And it is better to love your flaws and accept them, than it is to constantly hate yourself for them 🍋
I personally felt that this song talked about friendship and things like that. I think it's pretty interesting how music/poetry can mean different things to people. Also nice theory.
Lemon Boy is a character that was developed by Skinner. He said that “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.” Basically, Lemon Boy is a personification of mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression. Everyone has a Lemon Boy in their mind, or as the song refers to it, their garden, at some point in their life. Many people may pull theirs out before he really “takes root” and for others he may pop up occasionally like a weed and not stay for too long. The line, “Lemon Boy and me started to get along together,” means that the “host” of lemon boy is falling deeper into the abyss of him and letting him take more control. Robin says how he helped lemon boy “plant his seeds” of negativity. As lemon boy starts rubbing off on him, he begins affecting him in different ways, one being his friends leaving or distancing themselves from him because they don’t know how to help. Later in the song, the lyric, “So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together,” reveals the reality of depression and mental illness. It’s less about conquering and more about compromising, you need to be able to work alongside it sometimes. In the end, mental illnesses don’t define the person who has them.
think he realised it by the time he reached the last chorus then he was stuck on what to rhyme it with so he was just like "oh fuck uhh snufkin and little my there we go"
sweesbees He put it in there for a reason. Mostly character development. Snufkin and Little My and from a cartoon that I assume he watched, and if you had seen you would understand the song a little better
This song in my opinion is talking about depression or that inner self that is mean to you bad thoughts etc. In the beginning you try to get rid of it but cant so you grow on to it and see it as a second self a second insecure you. It may be hard at first but you get used to it and like having a friend always by your side even through he can be mean sometimes. In the end of the song he is afraid that lemon boy might disapear and is sad about that because if he loses him he loses part of himself. And in the last lyrics he says that he and lemon boy are going to live forever. I believe lemon boy/ depression can get better from time to time and learn to be happy. Its like the sad part of us that we have to confort and see as a friend. Thank you to anyone who read this lol hope you all doing great♡
I agree... like when it says “whales beach themselves” or something like that, it’s self harm; and also when his friends don’t like lemon boy, it’s because they don’t want to (or don’t know how to) be friends with someone who’s depressed...
"and they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie..." to me, seems like a quote that explains that we can make good out of our sad times, but sometimes others don't see that. Similar to your explanation, I think that lemon boy is depression, and at first we try to get rid of it, but get accustomed to it. And later on when the singer tries to show, or let out their feelings about depression to their friends, they leave. And so it's only lemon boy and the singer left. The singer sees their depression as just a part of them, and like you said, are scared to see it go away, because if it goes away so does a part of them. And so the quote, "lemon boy and I are gonna live forever" shows that the singer hopes that his depression and him will always be together. Truly a sad, but relatable song to jam to.
Tippy Tippulus I feel like the quote “lemon boy and I are gonna live forever” represents how depression took over him and how he might kill himself so it’s just him and lemon boy together......forever.
I like the fact that he put Snufkin and Little My from Moomin Valley into this. Me and someone else is into that fandom right now and that just makes this song so much better to me
Everyone is making all these deep and depressing theories for the song while I just think this is a story or something that he imagined about friendship
Zødïåç x Møõn I actually can’t find that if you could help me out. Also, to quote Kurt Cobain “Most of my lyrics are contradictions. I'll write a few sincere lines, and then I'll have to make fun of them”

I honestly just need a reminder to do something semi-productive and this song helps me cope with gender dysphoria so I’m coming back every year (Edit: Ya'll this was so long ago, so sorry if I'm a bit late sometimes!) 2021: ✅ 2022: ✅ 2023: ✅ 2024: ✅(Four years is crazy tbh) 2025: 2026: 2027:
Songs like this are so sweet and gentle and make you think of like a sunrise or sunset and just overall a soft aesthetic. It makes you all warm and fuzzy, but, at the same time, upset. I live for music like this. ⭐
A friend of mine just recently passed away, and this was her favorite song so they played it at her funeral. I’d never heard this song before but wish I would have because it’s such a good song! But I can’t listen to it because it’s too sad now
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 savory 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 helped 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 sugar cane? Oh well The whales start to beach themselves 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
@@bolognabl indeed, but it's usually grown in normal soil, not on a beach. It's an oddly specific thing to mention for a crop that's not commonly grown on sand irl
Hey guys! This song always was about best friends for me. And the bridge is about worrying about losing them. Currently sitting here crying to this after i lost my best friend.
I always listen to this song whenever I feel down. It 's like a mental anchor. I especially like the part about Snufkin and Little My, which greatly radiate carefree, hopeful, self-love energy. Thanks a lot for the lyrics video.
I refuse to think of a deeper meaning to this song, because on my darker days, daydreams of a literal lemon boy and a human boy (could be Robin, could be anyone) looking after each other and going about their day together warms my heart. The literal story of this song is so happy to me and really cheers me up (not to mention how much it makes me think of my best friend IRL). I'm sure there is a deeper meaning, I just don't want to destroy in my mind the loving and warm story that's on the surface.
This was the first Cavetown song I ever heard, maybe at least a year ago. Ever since then, I've fallen in love with Cavetown's songs, which are actually super relatable.
And I found out my friends were more the savoury type And they weren't keen to compromise with a nice lemon pie *everyones always talking about how relatable some lyrics are but this one hit hard*
@@h0neyj4r41 moomins is a swedish-finnish series by Tove Jansson! It has old comics, some books, and multiple tv shows. It's abt a creature called Moomin and his boyfriend Snufkin. It's a wholesome series and v cute _Edit: tove jansson was a bisexual woman who wrote abt a gay couple. It is very much cannon, please take off your heteronormative goggles. Thank you_
Why I feel that he is talking about a toxic friendship, when you get to love that person too much, that you can't leave them? Even if they are bittersweet. I relate to that a lot.
@@boalacopiilor850 Ah,Okay. So i met this friend at my school.Lets call her Bella.I met her when i was playing alone.As the months passed i realised that she would gaslight me and she'd convince me to buy her things.I knew that it was toxic,But i couldn't leave her. I felt that if i left her i would be alone.So here i am,Still Friends with her.
@@selly7591 hi! I met one of my toxic friends, Nicole,in the kindergarten, a lot of time ago. She was in a different class than me. And I was going to the lunch break, eith my class, with the nuns, that were teaching us. (it was a Catholic kindergarten, ruled by nuns). And even thought I was surrounded by a lot of children, I just saw her running to me, and she gave me one of the most sweet hugs I ever had. I will never forget her perfume and smile. She had dimples. And from that time, we were always meeting at her house or at my house. We had the funniest and cute ideas. But then, she started to be mean to me. I lost my body confidence because of her. Anything I would do, she would just judge, and laugh. I was sad, and pretty lonely. In that period, I had a lot of family issues, my parents almost got divorce. Once, I went to her house, and her dad was drunk, and he was screaming at her mother, and throwing stuff at her. We were sitting in her room. I was really scared, but she was crying. I just hugged her, and whispered to her ear "It's ok. I'm here for you". I told her my story. And other secrets. For a period, it was alright. But then, she gossiped about my parents and secrets to other children of her class. But I didn't quit her, cuz I knew she was mean only because she was scared. I just shut up, for years, until I realized that all we did together anyway was gossiping and being mean to others. We had nothing else. I was hugging her, when we left, but in the hugs where I felt safe and soothiness(idk if it's correct), I felt just emptiness and a lie. I didn't say anything. My heart was slipped in two pieces. The part that loved her, and the part that hated her. I'm still questioning myself, what did I do wrong? I tried to talk to her,but she was mean and not friendly. But I wouldn't forget her. I am just waiting for her to hug me again...
I had another fake friends, but recently, I was talking to a guy, let's call him Alex . We had the best chats. Memes, jokes, shitty things from our lives, but everything changed when once I was doing my math homework, and he just sent me a reallyyyy long message, like "Look. We were talking for five months now. I need to tell you something, I like you a lot. You are the most beautiful thing in my life". I knew he was liking me, but I tried to avoid this. I was not into him, but I enjoyed spending time with him. He was an amazing person, but just as a friend. I didn't respond him directly, i was like "umm... Idk. Did you saw the new Twenty one pilots song?". But after that evening, nothing was the same. He started to be mean, he got angry on me for no reason, he left the class chat group, everytime he saw that I was sending a message. He made me feel broken. I told him that if he will be so depressed and sad only for the fact that I don't like him, we can't chat anymore. I wanted ME to stay happy. And if he will really love me, he would understand me right away. But now, he is passive aggressive. I can't chat or something, on the group chat, that he will come and psuh me out or say something mean about me. I understood that, if a guy doesn't like you, he wouldn't try to talk to you. He kinda ruined 2020.

The next year she decided to let me listen to this song, said that I was her citrus friend. We only got closer after that. One day she had to leave. I never got to tell her that I loved her. It’s been a few years now. And today I remembered this song. After all this time I’m still that citrus friend, but I have no one to mow the lawn with now.
that reminds me of the book "Not your type", which sadly doesn't exist in English I think :(

But his friends don't seem to understand and they leave because they haven't learned to love the bitter parts of themselves.
And he also worries about whether or not he will always be able to love the bitter parts of himself too.

This song in my opinion is talking about depression or that inner self that is mean to you bad thoughts etc. In the beginning you try to get rid of it but cant so you grow on to it and see it as a second self a second insecure you. It may be hard at first but you get used to it and like having a friend always by your side even through he can be mean sometimes. In the end of the song he is afraid that lemon boy might disapear and is sad about that because if he loses him he loses part of himself. And in the last lyrics he says that he and lemon boy are going to live forever. I believe lemon boy/ depression can get better from time to time and learn to be happy. Its like the sad part of us that we have to confort and see as a friend. Thank you to anyone who read this lol hope you all doing great♡
I agree... like when it says “whales beach themselves” or something like that, it’s self harm; and also when his friends don’t like lemon boy, it’s because they don’t want to (or don’t know how to) be friends with someone who’s depressed...
"and they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie..." to me, seems like a quote that explains that we can make good out of our sad times, but sometimes others don't see that.
Similar to your explanation, I think that lemon boy is depression, and at first we try to get rid of it, but get accustomed to it. And later on when the singer tries to show, or let out their feelings about depression to their friends, they leave. And so it's only lemon boy and the singer left. The singer sees their depression as just a part of them, and like you said, are scared to see it go away, because if it goes away so does a part of them.
And so the quote, "lemon boy and I are gonna live forever" shows that the singer hopes that his depression and him will always be together.
Truly a sad, but relatable song to jam to.
I agree

Tippy Tippulus I feel like the quote “lemon boy and I are gonna live forever” represents how depression took over him and how he might kill himself so it’s just him and lemon boy together......forever.

had lemon juice in their eyes.
No they were english teachers and hated when he said lemon boy and me then screamed at the device think he will hear XD

I used to think the song said that, ‘I call myself his citrus friend.”
And I thought that was really cute TwT

That’s so wholesome!! It would’ve been nice if the artist put that instead of the actual lyrics, but the original is awesome too!
I thought that too,lol
Wait it’s not that uh...what is it
@@sadiesneider It’s “I got myself a citrus friend” :))
I like the fact that he put Snufkin and Little My from Moomin Valley into this. Me and someone else is into that fandom right now and that just makes this song so much better to me

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 savory 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 helped 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 sugar cane?
Oh well
The whales start to beach themselves
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
The lyrics are already in the video
Also it is spelt Mi not My because it is a character
@@dusk_duck The character's name is spelt Little My though.
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
*Answer my question. Did you eat Lemon Boy?*

oh i ate him alright~

thanks for cracking me up dude
I’m pretty sure that’s what it is

I always listen to this song whenever I feel down. It 's like a mental anchor. I especially like the part about Snufkin and Little My, which greatly radiate carefree, hopeful, self-love energy. Thanks a lot for the lyrics video.

@@eef1899 because little my is bitter, while snufkin is kind and caring. that goes well in terms of the song's premise.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.... No....
O h
I refuse to think of a deeper meaning to this song, because on my darker days, daydreams of a literal lemon boy and a human boy (could be Robin, could be anyone) looking after each other and going about their day together warms my heart. The literal story of this song is so happy to me and really cheers me up (not to mention how much it makes me think of my best friend IRL). I'm sure there is a deeper meaning, I just don't want to destroy in my mind the loving and warm story that's on the surface.
This was the first Cavetown song I ever heard, maybe at least a year ago. Ever since then, I've fallen in love with Cavetown's songs, which are actually super relatable.

Why I feel that he is talking about a toxic friendship, when you get to love that person too much, that you can't leave them? Even if they are bittersweet. I relate to that a lot.
wow, i finally have someone i relate to!
@@selly7591 where did you meet this friend? Let's share our stories.
@@boalacopiilor850 Ah,Okay. So i met this friend at my school.Lets call her Bella.I met her when i was playing alone.As the months passed i realised that she would gaslight me and she'd convince me to buy her things.I knew that it was toxic,But i couldn't leave her. I felt that if i left her i would be alone.So here i am,Still Friends with her.
@@selly7591 hi! I met one of my toxic friends, Nicole,in the kindergarten, a lot of time ago. She was in a different class than me. And I was going to the lunch break, eith my class, with the nuns, that were teaching us. (it was a Catholic kindergarten, ruled by nuns). And even thought I was surrounded by a lot of children, I just saw her running to me, and she gave me one of the most sweet hugs I ever had. I will never forget her perfume and smile. She had dimples. And from that time, we were always meeting at her house or at my house. We had the funniest and cute ideas. But then, she started to be mean to me. I lost my body confidence because of her. Anything I would do, she would just judge, and laugh. I was sad, and pretty lonely. In that period, I had a lot of family issues, my parents almost got divorce. Once, I went to her house, and her dad was drunk, and he was screaming at her mother, and throwing stuff at her. We were sitting in her room. I was really scared, but she was crying. I just hugged her, and whispered to her ear "It's ok. I'm here for you". I told her my story. And other secrets. For a period, it was alright. But then, she gossiped about my parents and secrets to other children of her class. But I didn't quit her, cuz I knew she was mean only because she was scared. I just shut up, for years, until I realized that all we did together anyway was gossiping and being mean to others. We had nothing else. I was hugging her, when we left, but in the hugs where I felt safe and soothiness(idk if it's correct), I felt just emptiness and a lie. I didn't say anything. My heart was slipped in two pieces. The part that loved her, and the part that hated her. I'm still questioning myself, what did I do wrong? I tried to talk to her,but she was mean and not friendly. But I wouldn't forget her. I am just waiting for her to hug me again...
I had another fake friends, but recently, I was talking to a guy, let's call him Alex . We had the best chats. Memes, jokes, shitty things from our lives, but everything changed when once I was doing my math homework, and he just sent me a reallyyyy long message, like "Look. We were talking for five months now. I need to tell you something, I like you a lot. You are the most beautiful thing in my life". I knew he was liking me, but I tried to avoid this. I was not into him, but I enjoyed spending time with him. He was an amazing person, but just as a friend. I didn't respond him directly, i was like "umm... Idk. Did you saw the new Twenty one pilots song?". But after that evening, nothing was the same. He started to be mean, he got angry on me for no reason, he left the class chat group, everytime he saw that I was sending a message. He made me feel broken. I told him that if he will be so depressed and sad only for the fact that I don't like him, we can't chat anymore. I wanted ME to stay happy. And if he will really love me, he would understand me right away. But now, he is passive aggressive. I can't chat or something, on the group chat, that he will come and psuh me out or say something mean about me. I understood that, if a guy doesn't like you, he wouldn't try to talk to you. He kinda ruined 2020.
