Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so I wrote a little song.
Then I tried to write some lyrics,
But I didn't last too long.
So I figured, why not sing about me
Trying to write a song and stuff.
And I decided to keep on singing
‘til I had had enough, but then I realized…
This song needs a hook.
An ironic little,
Self-refrential,
Catchy freakin' hook.
So I made the chorus
All about how
This song needs a hook.
An ironic little,
Self-refrential hook.
And a guitar solo.
[Adequate guitar solo]
Whoops, hang on, I have to tune this… okay.
[Awesome MIDI guitar solo]
Ugh, stop that. All right, uh…
Oh, I know, let's do the, um, the bridge. Bri— yeah, bridge. Okay?
Okay? Anyone? Hello?
Fine.
(music starts)
Oh.
Baby, tell me why,
Why do they call it a bridge anyhow?
You cannot walk on it,
It doesn't have a guard rail,
It doesn't even hold many cows.
This song is sort of caving in on itself,
And so it's going to end right now.
Right now.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… jinx!
In Lemon Demon's song "Holy Bison Beaks!," the artist takes a self-referential and ironic approach to writing a song. The first verse describes his attempts at writing a song and failing at writing lyrics. The artist decides to keep singing until he has had enough, but he realizes that the song needs a catchy hook to hold it together. He then proceeds to create the chorus all about how the song needs a self-referential hook and a guitar solo. The artist interjects an adequate guitar solo before transitioning into a more impressive MIDI guitar solo.
As the song progresses, the artist inserts a bridge, which he calls attention to by questioning why it's called a bridge if people can't walk on it, it doesn't have a guard rail, and it doesn't even hold cows. Towards the end of this section, the artist acknowledges that the song is caving in on itself and decides to end it.
In summary, Lemon Demon's "Holy Bison Beaks!" is a song about writing a self-referential song with a catchy hook and guitar solo, failing at writing the lyrics, and ultimately caving in on itself.
