I'm sittin' here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothin' to do
I'm hangin' around
I'm waitin' for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm drivin' around in my car
I'm drivin' too fast
I'm drivin' too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waitin' for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turnin' my head up and down
I'm turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin' around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Sing!
Dap-dadada-dadpm-didap-da
Dadada-dadpm-didap-da
Dap-didili-da
I'm sittin' here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out takin' a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on the lemon tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turnin' my head up and down
I'm turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin' around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree

It's all about depression.
It's about being alone, and bored, waiting for something to happen, or a person to come along to take you out of it.
But the person never comes and something never happens.

My Interpretation
Everyone says life is so great, "look at the blue blue sky", but life seems to just constantly give you Lemons (you know, "When life gives you Lemons", ETC). He tries to "change his point of view", "turns his head up and down" and "turns around" but, especially when you're depressed, it can be extremely difficult to see past all the "Lemon Trees".
I think the "waiting for you" bit, is about him waiting for someone to help him out of this rut. Help him get away from this "lonely", "isolated" boredom that never seems to end. Because again, when you're depressed, nothing interests you, there's no reason to do anything. Just sit "down here in the boring room", "wasting time" and waiting for something to change, "But nothing ever happens".
I love this song...

My Interpretation
This kind of reminds me of 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster the People, because the lyrics are depressing but it's such a catchy tune.This song is literal, because his girlfriend died in a car accident. She had crashed into a lemon tree.He sits on the porch, maybe not absorbing what has happened. The days are rainy without her. He wonders how his outlook could change so much from one event. He'd like to change the way he views things, but he's so lonely and feels that nobody's trying to help him out of his rut.He's in a desert of joy. No joy to be found anywhere.She had told him about the blue blue sky, but without her, he just can't see it and wonders if he ever will again.He doesn't want to sit on a lemon tree. Doesn't want to be stuck like this forever.Maybe he'll get another toy: something to play with, something to distract him. And everything will happen - he will start living his life again.Beautiful and dark lyrics with an upbeat melody. Love this song.

i think this is about someone who is waiting for someone he thinks he really loves but really he has exaggerated this person in his head so that they sound better than they actually are(yesterday you told me bout the blue blue sky). Because he is so wrapped up in waiting for this person he doesnt notice how isolated he has become. Thats why all he can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

This song is misleading due to the upbeat tune, but it is definitely about depression. Clinical depression is a misunderstood condition and those who do not suffer from it often encourage the depressed person to "think positive," (ie: look at the blue sky). This is impossible for him to do as all he can see is the sour side of life - the lemon tree.
The fourth set of lyrics is the real clencher -"There's a heavy cloud inside my head,I feel so tired, put myself into bed."That is what depressed people do!
Also - the desert of joy? A place completely devoid of happiness.

I think, this song is about depression and someone is trying to help him find happiness, but he can't ever see anything but the lemon tree, which represents everything negative.He wonders why he can't see the blue sky (the good things)He doesn't want to see the bad things, but he feels like he's in that desert, that's barren, of joy and love.He's waiting for life to start happening again.Just my personal thoughts,

Song Meaning
Notice the "told me about the blue blue sky" (to promise something optimistically which propably will not happen) and getting a lemon tree (sour fruits) contrast.
The whole theme seems to be unrequited love and being totally alone without the person.
At the point "I'll get another toy" it seems like there should be a turning point (i can live without you, can you live without me, now you're sitting on the lemon tree), but this does not happen,but the YOU told me about the blue sky, but I only see a lemon tree motive repeats itself.

I actually think he's in a depression and wants to be happy... but he can't be.
And I agree to what boo! said, it's the same here.

i'm guessing the blue blue sky is love itself which you cannot see, and the lemon tree represents lust

Fortnight Taylor Swift The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro. The Night We Met Lord Huron This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:"I had all and then most of you"Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart"Some and now none of you"Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why" Magical Ed Sheeran How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner. Amazing Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.Rate These Lyrics
