Coyote
Dope Lemon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We just got out, in the knick of time
We found ourselves drowning, in the blood in a sea of wine
Down from the mountain, she waits
Dancing around the fire, shaking her waist

Oh lemons won't get much sweeter than this
Oh lemons don't get much much sweeter than this
A coyote, a coyote, yea

She dont mind, broken flowers in the morning
I seen the blue fall, dead in her eyes
it just one seat(?) if ya do it, for the money
and how you make them bed(?), how you make them...(??)

Oh lemons don't get much sweeter than this
Oh lemons don't get much sweeter than this




A coyote, a coyote, a coyote, a coyote
oh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DOPE LEMON's song Coyote seem to draw on ideas relating to a sense of urgency, living life in the moment, and embracing the fleeting nature of existence. The opening lines suggest a feeling of narrowly escaping a risky situation, but also allude to the hedonistic indulgence that occurs amidst the danger. The sea of wine creates a vivid, almost surreal landscape that the characters are navigating through. The mention of dancing and shaking in the fire conveys a sense of primal, almost ritualistic energy, but also the potential for self-destruction.


As the song continues, there is a juxtaposition between images of beauty and decay. The "broken flowers in the morning" and "dead in her eyes" imagery suggests a certain darkness or melancholy, despite the sensual excitement of the previous verses. The lines "it just one seat(?) if ya do it, for the money / and how you make them bed(?), how you make them...(??)" are somewhat cryptic but could be interpreted as commentary on the transactional nature of certain relationships or experiences. There may be a sense of both liberation and regret in the lyrics, as if the characters are embracing the present moment but also anticipating the consequences.

Broken flower s never tell the truth
When you been crying
So just Tye up the ends
and send em back threw
Or suffer their hottest fires
the two together are an incantation
Deeper than the truth
Like all those sick sad liars
You ve longed for and Required
With your own sad strange desires
Accepted in and built by those same fires
So always dance alone
With said desires
Coyote

(Thanks lemons you boys saved me tonight
So gently)

LYRICS

We just got out in the nick of time
We find ourselves drowning in our blood in a sea of wine
Down from the mountain, she waits
Dancing 'round a fire, shaking her waist

Oh, lemons don’t get much sweeter than this
Oh, lemons don’t get much sweeter than this
A coyote
A coyote, oh yeah

She don’t mind broken flowers in the morning
I've seen the blue fall get in her eyes
It just wanna see if we do it for the money
And how you made them beg, I am made them beg to try

Oh, lemons don’t get much sweeter than this
Oh, lemons don’t get much sweeter than this
A coyote
A coyote
A coyote
A coyote, oh yeah
