I know that this song is about Robin’s depression, but, songs can mean different things to people. To me, this song is about friendship, and how it’s not difficult to be nice to people. You’ll never know how easy it is to find your future best friend hiding somewhere.
-ahem- This song is about Robbie's anxiety and depression, to put it simply, here's the quotes Lemon Boy could is a character developed by Skinner to disassociate himself from “ the anxiety, the negativity and the illness that’s inside all of us”. This song explores Robin’s relationship with Lemon Boy, how he affects Robin and his peers as well as his journey learning to learn more about and learn to live with Lemon Boy. The “Lemon Boy” is symbolic of Robins depression - lemons are sour and unlikeable much like mental illness. and then what Robbie said "Lemon Boy is the anxiety, the negativity, the illness that’s inside all of us, and that is very strong inside me. A way of being happy for me is disassociating myself from those things, but also learning to live alongside them as a friend. I really hate Lemon Boy sometimes but he’s never going away, and I can use him for good (this album for instance)" Edit: I got this from genius lyrics, btw
@@dr.catherineelizabethhalse1820 The sad thing about that is the fact it might be manipulation. Manipulation is so easy to fall into because they use threats like "I'll hurt myself if you ever leave me" or things like that. Sometimes it's better to leave because it could take a toll on your mental health.
To me this song represents 1. becoming friends with a toxic person, someone who isn't healthy for you but you keep coming back again 2. You becoming different, unhealthier around other people because your dealing with a mental illness , trauma, etc
For me it’s more like accepting a friend that most people don’t like but you care about them and are friends anyway because you don’t care what others think
Especially at the end, this is what the song reminds me of: A hero/protagonist was prophesied to be the best thing to happen for the world, and everyone assumes that means they will defeat the villain killing off the “hero’s”, so the hero defeats the villain aka “lemon boy” Though the villain keeps coming back, and eventually the hero asks them why they keep trying to take apart the society everyone’s worked so hard for. They explain why, and the hero begins to side with hem, as they realize that the villain is right. their “friends” weren’t willing to see how they were the villains of the story. So, the hero works with the villain in their cause and decides that there going to live forever, just them, and start the next generation over and make a world of their own.
I know!!! My thing is, I always noticed but was like "No, no way. I've been seeing too much Moomins stuff, there's no-" OH MY LORD IT REALLY IS I LOVE MY BABIES
When he said 'They weren't to keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie' at 1:22, he sounded so much like he was joking around with himself about it and it is now my favourite line in the song. Love it
Ik the real meaning behind the song but i like to think that lemon boy is a real person like an actual friend who hes given up all his old friends despite the fact nobody likes lemon boy and now there bestfriends ik its incorrect but it adds a happier tone to the song for me.
I’m friends with the kid that has anger issues and gets bullied all the time because of that but nobody knows I have anger issues to and I understand him, people need to be nice to people that have something wrong with them because some people don’t get it
This song kinda reminds me of a friend I had in 1st grade. He had cerebral palsy and everyone avoided him. We were in different classes, but we were best friends. Our parents knew eachother, and he even got himself and I friendship necklaces. He was really upset when he found out I was going back to my old school for second grade. I haven't heard from him in years. I hope you're doing well, Aiden. I miss you.
This song takes me back, like, far back. Let me elaborate. When I was little, I used to live in a house that had a lot of people in it. It was frustrating, but eventually I'd get used to it. One day, I saw this girl playing outside, and me, watching her from the window, shouted out to her. She came to me, and we started talking to each other through the window almost everyday. Playing outside with her in real time, was of course, even better. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay friends forever. Because of drama, my family had to move to another state. I cried, because she was my only friend ever in that neighborhood. What's sad is, I can't remember the last talk we had. And I never got to see her again. I miss her a lot.. Bottom line, the song reminds me of the days we spent together. Someday I dream of bumping into her as an adult and we'd become friends all over again. Only time can tell, and I'd only have to wait till then (･◡･) .
I always tear up at the very last “It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him.” Mostly because of the beautiful vocals, but also because people don’t realize how easy it is to be my friend. They find me intimidating just because I’m bitter and pessimistic, but if they would just open up to that they would see that, underneath, I’m not so bad. Really.
This song is so calming to listen to.. laying down in silence with this song playing is so nice, it's kinda like thinking about falling off a building, it's calming
When i listen to this song i thought about : It’s a windy day and he saw a “weed” he pulled it out.The next day,the “weed” grew back. So he left it,then the “weed” became *lemon boy* .He and lemon boy became good friends,they went everywhere together.His friends judged lemon boy,so he left them.They went to the beach to watch the yellow,orange ombre sunset.
At first I was like "ummm,this song really isn't that good :/" Me: *hears it more than once cuz why not and starts liking it and now listens to it 24 7*
@@abbyhowe2306 i think it's a show but I've never looked into it it's a tv show from the 1990s and there's creatures called "moomins" but i don't know exactly what they are or what the show is about
This reminds of me and My Bestfriend! :) She may be Really Rude but She's having Problems at Home :( She's mean to people but for me she's really sweet! She said that she Trusts me and Only me. She said that I was the Only One who Understands her when she's having those Episodes. I love her so Much I dont wanna loose her :(
I've been with my best friend for three yrs now, lemme tell u... I love them, they have helped me through the toughest time with suicide attempts to bad days... I used to be a lemon boy... no friends sat alone, and only was talked to if someone needed me then they came along and showed me light, they gave me confidence...
my friend sent me this song saying that it reminds her of me. At first we were super awkward and didnt talk a lot, then we eventually became best friends. (Bitter cuz i depressed as shit)
this song reminds me of my best friend but like in a good way. he’s so bitter sometimes but he’s always nice to me and we’re a great team. we’ve been friends since fifth grade and we just graduated this year :’)
OMG I love this song! and the guitar is so neat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KEEP REPEATING THIS SONG I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To me this means there’s an anti social kid with some anger problems, usually he shuts off others from his life which only makes his mental health worse and then another boy wants to be his friend, at first it didn’t work but the other boy didn’t give up so he tried again, soon they became friends but the anti social one thought that the other boy would forget about him, but he doesn’t and they become really close friends and the anti social one opens up to him and it makes them even more closer
People say this song is about toxic relationship or coping with mental illness, when I was hoping this song was about befriending a guy who has no friends and who is liked by nobody 😔👉👈
Imagine Mxmtoon and Cavetown making a song together! 🍋🌼💛
I agree
Yes please i will be the happiest depprrest person EVER
That would be amazing 😎
There is a cover of A song outside with the cuties that they made together. It isn t their original song but it s great.

This song is about Robbie's anxiety and depression, to put it simply, here's the quotes
Lemon Boy could is a character developed by Skinner to disassociate himself from “ the anxiety, the negativity and the illness that’s inside all of us”.
This song explores Robin’s relationship with Lemon Boy, how he affects Robin and his peers as well as his journey learning to learn more about and learn to live with Lemon Boy.
The “Lemon Boy” is symbolic of Robins depression - lemons are sour and unlikeable much like mental illness.
and then what Robbie said
"Lemon Boy is the anxiety, the negativity, the illness that’s inside all of us, and that is very strong inside me. A way of being happy for me is disassociating myself from those things, but also learning to live alongside them as a friend. I really hate Lemon Boy sometimes but he’s never going away, and I can use him for good (this album for instance)"

The person might not be toxic but just difficult and kicked by life too many times. Those people need someones support to build up their life again.
Especially at the end, this is what the song reminds me of:
