Neptune
Lemonade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted to tell you
It's not by virtue
Of some obligation
I'm trying to see you
I think that I hurt you
I kissed her, you kissed him too

Let me speak to you
So I can show you
All I want is to sort this out
And this really won't do… no, no

I'm gauging this feeling
Always misleading
It's hard to know what's true
You pocket call me
From some party
There were so many voices in that room

Let me speak to you
So I can show you
All I want is to sort this out
And this really won't do… no, no

It's you I see in everything
It's you I see in everything

Let me speak to you
So I can show you
All I want is to sort this out
And this really won't do… no, no

Still thinking of you

And let me speak to you
So I can show you




All I want is to sort this out
And this really won't do… no, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lemonade's song "Neptune" tell a story of a person who is trying to sort things out with someone they love after hurting them. The singer acknowledges that they made a mistake by kissing someone else and seemingly tries to apologize and make things right. The line "It's not by virtue of some obligation" suggests that the singer is not apologizing out of duty, but rather out of their own desire to fix things. However, the task at hand is difficult, and the singer cannot seem to trust their own feelings, as they are "always misleading."


The line "It's hard to know what's true" shows the confusion and uncertainty that the singer is feeling in this situation. The lyrics also suggest that there may have been a party or gathering where the person who was hurt pocket-called the singer. This unintentional call only added to the confusion and frustration of the situation. Overall, "Neptune" seems to be about the difficulty of sorting through complex emotions and relationships.
