Lemonade
Only Real Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shards coming on and off
Slowly against our family, wonder off
A hard kid that said this for her and it's worthless
Blur in the church for certain in the craft
Make it a market like it's done for certain
The days for reciting the life is the type one
Life is coming, second coming, shit to hit the??
This might be it the private shit, we're stuck in that, we're fighting it?? so this is it, the only real way now
Kick the shit, my lips know this, they owned in the playground
Owned it in ways now, as lone as the greyhound?? brushes in the grave now
In many ways the days already very lemonade
But chasing tomatoes tastes best, was always set in place
We were shorts, shout all our thoughts out
So for now we pull our all out, we talk loud
But means on the green team searching for better states
Loose at the seams and we're thirsty for lemonade
Can't stick to work,?? on the jukebox
No tight loonies, ropes like loonies, hopes they grow right through me
Fine when we get it, we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get it
Fine when we get it, when we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get
Fine when we get it, we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get it
Fine when we get it, when we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get
Fine when we get it, we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get it
Fine when we get it, when we get it
We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get
The lyrics of Only Real's song "Lemonade" are highly metaphorical in nature and open to interpretation. However, upon a deeper reading, it seems like the song is about the struggles of growing up and finding one's place in the world. The opening lines of the song, "Ghosts in the windows, Shards coming on and off" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the fragments of the past that haunt us and the feeling of detachment that one might experience as they move forward in life. The line "Slowly against our family, wonder off" could mean that the character is slowly distancing themselves from their family and the traditions that they represent, as they try to figure out their own identity.
The line "A hard kid that said this for her and it's worthless" may be referring to the pressures and expectations that society puts on young people as they try to make sense of their own lives. The rest of the verses seem to be a mix of ruminations on life and death, with lines like "Blur in the church for certain in the craft" and "Life is coming, second coming, shit to hit the??". The chorus could be interpreted as a sort of rallying cry for those who are lost or searching for their place, with the repeated refrain "We'll be fine, we'll be fine when we get it" providing a sense of hopeful optimism.
