Lemon Tree
D.J. Jump Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

Da-da-da-da-da-di-da-da
Da-da-da-da-di-da-da da-di-di-da

I'm sitting here, I miss the power
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
While 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 walking 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 turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning 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

Overall Meaning

In DJ Jump’s song “Lemon Tree,” the singer is feeling bored, lonely, and disconnected. He spends time waiting for someone who never shows up, driving aimlessly, and turning his head up and down in search of something interesting to see. However, all he sees is a lemon tree, which serves as a symbol of the banality and lack of meaning in his life. The last verse introduces the idea of isolation and the negative effects it has on the singer. He acknowledges that he needs to find a way out of this barren desert of unhappiness and loneliness, but he is not sure how to do it.


The repetition of the phrase “and I wonder” throughout the song suggests a sense of longing and a desire for something more in life. The melody and instrumentation of the song are upbeat and even catchy, but the lyrics reveal a sense of melancholy and dissatisfaction. The lemon tree is a simple but evocative image that captures the feeling of being stuck in a rut and unable to break free.

It is a dreary weekend day with no excitement or adventure


I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do

I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
I am lingering around and anticipating your arrival


But nothing ever happens and I wonder
There is a lack of activity, and I am curious as to why


I'm driving around in my car

I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
I am experiencing solitude while anticipating your company


But nothing ever happens and I wonder
There is still no action, and I am left to wonder why


I wonder how, I wonder why
I am filled with curiosity and questions


Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
You recently shared with me stories about an idyllic sky


And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
All I can perceive is a sour and unpleasant reality


I'm turning my head up and down
I am gazing in all directions with confusion


I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
I am spinning about in circles, feeling disoriented


And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
Everything that surrounds me is bleak and oppressive

Nonverbal expression, lacking a concrete definition


Da-da-da-da-di-da-da da-di-di-da
Murmured sounds without a specific connotation


I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I am reminiscing about a time when I felt more in control


I'd like to go out, taking a shower
I desire to leave and cleanse myself of my current state


But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I am burdened by a sense of heaviness and confusion in my mind

Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
Regardless, I will eventually find another source of enjoyment


And everything will happen and you wonder
At some point, all will fall into place and you too will be curious


I wonder how, I wonder why
Once again, I am filled with questions and speculation


Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
You repeated your story of the picturesque sky from the past


And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
Alas, all that confronts me are pessimistic circumstances


I'm turning my head up and down
Again, I am surveying my surroundings with bewilderment


I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
Once more, I am spinning in circles, feeling confused and helpless


And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
Everything that confronts me is barren and bleak


And I wonder, wonder, I wonder how, I wonder why
I am still riddled with questions and uncertainty


Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
Once again, you recounted the tranquility of a peaceful sky


And all that I can see, and all that I can see
Sadly, my present reality is all-consuming


And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
All that surrounds me is barren and joyless
