Kenshi Yonezu
Raon Lee Lyrics

The song "Lemon" by Kenshi Yonezu, as interpreted by Raon Lee, is a nostalgic and heart-wrenching ballad about lost love and unfulfilled dreams. The opening lines express the longing for a dream that never came true, and the pain of still dreaming about the person who's already gone. The artist talks about how she wants to go back to the past to retrieve everything she has lost, just like going back to retrieve lost belongings. She clears away the dust of fragile and old memories, reminding her of the happiness that she can never get back anymore.

The chorus talks about how the artist loved everything, even the sadness and pain she shared with her lover, displaying an acceptance of all her past struggles. She reminisces about the bitter-sweet smell of lemon, a memory that lingers in her heart. The last lines of the chorus talk about how she is unable to leave until the rain stops - possibly a metaphor about how she can't move on with her life until she's come to terms with her feelings. The second stanza suggests the pain felt with the absence of this past lover. The artist remembers tracing the outline of her lover's back in the darkness, describing it as a clear memory that's still with her. Whenever she meets something she can't quite comprehend or manage, all she has are unceasing tears. She wonders what her lover was doing or thinking when they were separated, questioning who the person in front of her truly was. She imagines that they might also be wallowing in self-pity, just like she is. The artist knows that she should probably forget about her lover, but she can't help but wish that they still thought of her as "their light." She wonders how someone could go from being so close to becoming mere strangers, and she hopes that her lover loves her as much as she loves him.
