Lemon Boy || Cavetown Lyrics

"lemon boy and me" "lemon boy and i" mmm i love the smell of character development

“There’s no good emotional songs anymore.” Cavetown: Hold my lemons.

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...

"lemon boy and me started to get along together" "lemon boy and me need to get along together" "lemon boy and i were gonna live forever"

When life gives you lemons Befriend them

"Like Snufkin and little My" Everyone Liked That

The change between "Lemon Boy and Me" and "Lemon Boy and I" is the best character development I've ever seen

I sang this for my best friend at his funeral. It was our song because he was my stupid lemon boy, always so mean and bitter. Miss him alot

It sucks how Cavetown is so underrated. The only song that's ACTUALLY popular is "This is Home". Like, this song is good to :((

i see lemon boy and cavetown growing old together watching the sun set and drinking sweet tea together.

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'm not crying I just got lemon juice in my eyes.

You can hear him smile when he said “lemon pie”

"What if beaches dry of sugarcane?" he is a real minecraft player.

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.

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

“But what if I run out of fertiliser” People talk about relatable lyrics but his one hits me hard

"What if the beaches dry of sugarcane" All the minecraft bois felt that. edit: //you psychopaths I'm a girl too, boi is just a term my gosh.//

When life gives you lemons, Call them yellow oranges and sell them for double the price! - Gruncle Stanley Pines (Gravity Falls)
