Lemon Tree
Fools Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The song “Lemon Tree” by Fools Garden is a reflection on the monotony of life, captured through the mundane activities of the singer, who seems trapped in a cycle of boredom and aimlessness. The opening lines set the tone of the song as the singer sits in a room bored, with nothing to do: “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.” This brings a feeling of hopelessness and frustration as they wait for something to happen, yet nothing ever does. The second verse shows the singer driving around aimlessly in their car, wishing for a change in perspective and feeling lonely without a clear sense of purpose.
The chorus describes the singer's desire to find something meaningful in their life: “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.” This metaphorical lemon tree represents the singer's disillusionment with life, as they are not able to see beyond the mundane and find true happiness.

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'd like to go out, taking 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 a lemon tree
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy
Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen
And you wonder

The song is about a person who is alone, who is locked up. Peter Freudenthaler (singer of the band) tells us about a young man who is alone waiting for a person. This young man wants to do many things, but all he can do is to stay in the same place and wonder.
