Your Imaginary Friend
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost alone.
Curled up in a ball
With a tin can phone
Tied to a twist
Leading outside,
And into the mist
Where the shadows hide.
Maybe when you're gone, (Maybe when you're gone.)
We'll gladly take your place.
You're so nicely drawn. (You're so nicely drawn.)
We like your face, and
We want to be your imaginary friend.
Want to be your imaginary friend.
When you were young,
You knew us well.
The cat had your tongue,
So you could not yell.
When you were cross,
All you could do
Was call it a loss,
Though this was not true.
We've since disappeared.
That is, until tonight,
When you turn out the light,
And everything stands still.
The wind's direction shifts
And makes the curtains lift…
And you see us on the sill.
Every word that you've learned,
Every wish that you've burned,
Every single strand of hair in your head,
Every book that you've read:
We love you this much.
We want to be your imaginary friend.
Want to be your imaginary…
Friend.
The lyrics of Lemon Demon’s song Your Imaginary Friend depict a sense of yearning and longing to be someone’s imaginary friend. The first paragraph of the song presents an image of a small and lonely character curled up in a ball with a tin can phone tied to a twist leading outside. The use of such imagery portrays a sense of isolation, accompanied by a desire for communication and companionship. The second paragraph talks about how the character (you) knew the imaginary friends well and how the cat had your tongue so you could not speak. However, despite this lack of communication, the imaginary friends were always present and aware of the character's feelings. The final verse speaks directly to the character, describing how everything falls still when the lights are off, and the imaginary friends appear. The chorus uncovers the truth behind the imaginary friends' longing and desire to be your friend, as they say, "we like your face, and we want to be your imaginary friend".
The song is a reminder that imagination and creativity have no boundaries, and the desire for companionship and connection is a common human experience. It emphasizes the importance of imaginary friends in supporting children and their growth and development. As children grow up and "disappear," the imaginary friends may still linger, waiting for a chance to reconnect.
