On a serious note, this was amazing. I love the mix of cute characters with dark stop-motion animation, it’s a really unique style and it captures the feeling of this song terrifically. Keep up the fantastic work!
This was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The stop motion compliments the music so freaking well and the twist just hits you perfectly in the feels. Fantastic work Robbie, Taha and everybody else in the crew. Well worth the wait ;)
my interpretation of this: lime does everything for lemon. they’re best friends. the juice is a metaphor for the energy they put into the relationship, and lime is happy to give everything to lemon. lemon gets upset that lime is doing everything for him so he runs away. upset, like moves on to find orange. lime and orange begin to share juices, and it’s a balanced relationship. while lime and orange are out there being best friends or dating, lemon realizes that he shouldn’t have left, and he feels guilty. after lemon dies, lime gets upset again, but lemon hopes that he’s happy with orange.
I think lemon becomes greedy of lime's juice, and expects lime to keep giving his juice even when lime is running out, so lemon is in the wrong for running away and that's why lemon feels bad and goes to run back to lime but then gets eaten by turtle.
Relationships take effort from both sides in order to work. The lime gave all its love to the lemon and it drained itself in the process. The lemon got used to absorbing all this love and never gave anything in return. It became angry when their relationship became strained and exhausted so it ran. Lime found Orange who put in as much effort in the relationship as it did, and their relationship flourished. Lemon realized its mistake and how much it truly loved Lime, but never got to tell it because it was scared and was eaten by a tortoise. Maybe the tortoise represents being overcome with fear, depression, and/or self hate?
“I guess I got to my head And I was too young to understand it I get it now that it's too late I never stopped feeling guilty.” never fails to bring a tear to my eye. such a beautiful song and such a beautiful music video too. i love this song so much
I love this song. The lyrics sound sweet, but the video tells a different story. My little analysis is kinda lengthy, so i apologize in advance The lemon and lime are friends. The friendship is toxic. So very, very toxic. The lime loves its friend very much, and gives the lemon all he has, until he has nothing left. He withers and fades because he gave all he had to his friend, with absolutely no regards to himself. The lemon takes and takes and gives nothing back, and seemingly doesn't notice that his friend is slowly draining himself of energy and sustenance, though the lime smiles as he weakly hands the lemon his bottle of….effort? Emotional strength? Something. The lime smiles because although he's slowly dying, he thinks if it helps his friend, its fine. The lemon finally notices that the source of strength is draining and notices his friend's withered appearance. Instead of asking if he needs help, he is disgusted and runs away instead of offering something back. The lime is left alone with no one to sustain him. Lime meets orange. The orange slowly helps the lime come back to life, offering energy, and when the lime is back to health, he offers support in return, like you can see when the bottles of green and orange are next to each other, both full. They support and help each other. Its a much better relationship. The lemon sees this, and is jealous. He understands that the orange is better for the lime than he was (You look so good and green...you look so good with him), and he regrets it and decides to change. He begins to fill up a bottle for the lime, preparing to come back and finally be the good friend he was supposed to be, but he is killed before he had the chance. He didn't take advantage of the time he had, and his time ran out. The two friends weren't meant to be, a lemon is too sour for sweet fruits like limes and oranges. In the last part, when the lime and orange are standing in front of the grave, the lime understands that the lemon tried one last time to be his friend, because he found the cork. The lemon sees them, and the lime (although the lemon is not physically there) “feels at peace”, and the lemon sends a final message “i hope you think of me...still as your friend” The orange and lime walk away, sad but hopeful for a better future. Hope that made sense, its late and my brain isn't working 💚💛💚💛🧡💚🧡💚
Last night my boyfriend showed me this video and at the end he said “I cried watching this the first time” so naturally I asked why. He said “it’s me and you, I’m the lime, and you’re the orange. I was all empty and you helped fill me up” and man never did I think I would almost cry over some fruits, but boy was I wrong.
Ok, have I misunderstood the story on this for two years? Because I _thought_ it was: Lime gives everything to lemon > lemon leaves when lime has nothing more > lime finds lemon's cork and is overcome with loss > lime slowly recovers and finds orange, who heals lime > lemon returns and decides to try and make amends, but is killed by the turtle in doing so > orange and lime mourn lemon. But I just noticed the turtle scene is shot like a flashback, making the story: Lime gives everything to lemon > lemon leaves when lime has nothing more > lime finds lemon's cork and is overcome with loss > lime slowly recovers and finds orange, who heals lime > it's revealed that when lemon left, they realised their mistake and tried to fill their jar, then died, making lime finding lemon's cork far more tragic > lemon returns but as a ghost, at which point we see what happened to them with the turtle > orange and lime mourn lemon. It doesn't quite make sense, because if the second version is true, how could lemon be following lime and stalking lime and orange? But the flashback at 2:47 shows the earlier scene when lemon left, but extended to show they changed their mind and went back; and also establishes that the cork falling out at 1:25 is because lemon died. So does lime know lemon died, hence carrying around their cork in mourning? Is lemon following lime a hallucination, is lemon a ghost at that point like later on? Seems stupid to overanalyse, but it's a beautiful song and video, and I don't know if I've simply got it wrong for two years or if it's very loose and open to interpretation. The different possibilities are so different, though - in one, lemon only tries to make amends after they see lime and orange together. In the other, lemon tried to make amends much earlier but died before being able to do so, leaving lime alone without knowing what lime tried to do until later. Which is even more goddamn heartbreaking.
I think lemon might have been stalking lime as a ghost checking on their living friend in a sort of “I’m so proud of you” kind of way, but I’m not too sure
I think the video is specifically framed to make you second guess, actually. We see the ghost of lemon following lime, and we think its lemon being stalkerish and toxic. But then it gives us the flashback and we realize it wasn't that, it was lemon's ghost, possibly looking out for their friend, possibly just aimlessly unsure of what else to do, probably desperate to apologize probably desperate. "I get it now that it's too late; I never stopped feeling guilty." The flashback recontextualizes the whole video before it. "I hope you think of me still as your friend."
Hey, you're all cool for indulging me. I think it has to be the second narrative; lime knows lemon's dead the moment they find the cork, erects a gravestone at some point after that, then either realises or hallucinates that lemon tried to make amends when later visiting the grave with orange. The sudden disappearance of lemon when lime looks back at the end makes me think it's in lime's head. Or that lemon IS there, as a ghost, but lime can't actually see them. Hell of a video. There's three or four different ways to interpret it and each one is sad and beautiful in its own way.
I think lemon wanted to return and make amends shortly after he'd run off but was killed in the process of return and has been a ghost following like around ever since. Also, it's clear that if he didn't have his cork in his juice would be drained so I think lime knew or strongly suspected lemon was dead because he wouldn't have been able to survive without it?
im crying so hard right now. my caveboy is growing up😂! i remember when he made covers in his room without any equipment, and now he has a beautiful music video like this💛
Okay, I was absolutely NOT expecting to cry! They came so sudden and too quickly to even take in the fact I was crying! The video is great, applause for the animator and to your wonderful song. This has always been my number one song.
the way i interpret this is that the lemon is robin, the lime is the girl that green is about, and the orange is her new "boyfriend". robin said in the description of this song on bandcamp that green is about a girl he loved but he didn't treat as well as he should have, she gave him everything she could and he didn't. when our little lemon guy tries to give back it ends badly and it seems like he was coming off selfish, meanwhile the lime found someone who gave her what she deserved. in the end, they all gain closure and are able to be okay with the past and move on. she was upset and angry but moved on and grew with someone who gave her everything. it's not a completely happy ending but there are no hard feelings towards each other
my brother passed away by suicide when i was 12. i listen to this song and imagine it’s him saying these things to me. i miss him. music is always one of the things that brings him back on some level. it helps me feel like i can talk to him. like he’s still aware of me, and watching me grow up. it’s been over ten years and the grief hasn’t passed, but it’s turned into something much more beautiful. i’m grateful for it
DUDE WHAT IF LEMON BOY IS THE SONG FROM THE LIME’S PERSPECTIVE AND WHEN IT COMES TO “TORTOISE SHELL” THING ITS HIM GETTING KILLED AJHHHSASH Edit: so, I’ve heard that this isn’t what it actually is about, and that’s cool too. This was just a thought that hit me when listening to the songs after each other :)
this song reminds me of my old friend who moved away years ago. we were friends for a long time and we fantasized about one day being vets together at our future animal hospital "pet palace". we were so childlike and when we were together i had no worries at all. we were so close. we had imaginary pets hers was a cat named spark and i had a dog named scout. she was just so warm and kind. then in the 3rd grade (yeah we were lil kids) she told me she was moving away to texas. i figured we were playing make believe and so i put my little hand to my ear and said "my mom called! i am too!" her eyes turned darker. she said "no....maisie. im not kidding." the expression on my faced changed. i remember walking to class, crying. a few months later it was the last day of school. she would be moving that summer and it was the last time i would see her (and i still havent to this day) i got to my stop and i gave her a big hug. i remember feeling her tear fall on my shoulder and i bet mine did too. my mom awaited me outside the door and i said to her "i have to go. im so sorry." i turned to the door and i didn't look back. god, i wish i had looked back. my mom was comforting me and i was still crying. my best friend gone. and i dont think she realizes how much i care about her. i miss you veronica. (god im sorry im so sensitive my computer is wet with tears)
My best friend moved away when I was in fifth grade. It's been five years and I still get sad when I remember how much fun we had together. It was a turning point in my life and I can't imagine how different I'd be if she hadn't moved. I hope you get to see Veronica again someday so you can make sure she knows how much she meant to you. I wish I'd known to tell Hazel just how much she mattered to me
Remember. Sometimes that's the best we can do. I've lost more people than I can count. Almost all made me the man I am today through their guidance, and it hurts more to see them go when I am powerless to stop it. So I remember and never forget what I learned and never lose what they gave. Remember ❤
I hope you 2 reunite with the power of the internet and I bet she misses you too (Also, kinda unrelated but I didn't expect your best friend to have the same name as mine-)
If you don't understand what this is about, read this. I think I have a good point to this, bc I've experienced something similar. This whole story takes place from the lemons prospective. Robbie (lemon) Ex person (Lime) Ex's new bf (Orange) This story is of a relationship Lemon was in, and he didn't thank Lime for all of the things Lime did for him, like a one sided relationship. The juice represents feelings, or care, in which Lemon didn't give any in return to Lime. Lime didn't have any juice from anyone, so They weren't mentally okay. They were giving Lemon their all, and got nothing in return. Lime ran out of feelings to give Lemon because they weren't healthy, and Lemon went on to find another person. Lemon left Lime alone because they gave them nothing now. Lime tried coping with it, and sat at the place They sat at with lemon before all of that went down, and smiled, walking down the hill. Then Orange comes into the picture, and They both share their juice with each other, meaning Orange and Lime both care for each other. Lime gets in a better mental state, and looks more healthy with Orange, so Lemon tries gaining the courage to apologize to Lime, but anxiety and depression get in the way. Lemon felt all of that guilt and pressure, Which the Turtle "Eating lemon" is Lemon overthinking and not having enough courage to do so. At the end, Lime said goodbye to Lemons grave, meaning They're trying to "Forget the past, and focus on the future". Lemon didn't actually die, It just means that Lime is remembering Lemon (Like a ghost) and trying to move on from him. Hope this helped~ :3
Sydne Carter Thank you very much for your beautiful analysis! And I’m sorry that you went through something similar. I really hope you find your “orange” one day!!😊❤️
experiencing this exact situation now and it’s one of the most difficult things ever. the guilt really does consume you & there’s nothing really you can do about it
This is a song about regretting those we took more from than gave, and LEMONting the fact we messed up, realizing we were the ones who were out of LIME. In all seriousness if you've ever been the one to end a healthy relationship and regret it, then this song resonates with that vibe
One thing I find beyond beautiful about how this music video is filmed is that it almost feels like we share the grieving process/or simply moving on from a relationship in general regarding the lime; We feel the sadness, hatred, upset from how Lime gave everything to Lemon with nothing in return, the unresolved issues, we can feel that throughout the music video before seeing the bigger picture of how Lemon did try to give back but it was too late - I think that's wonderful, how there is that limitation of one set of emotions (hatred, sadness, distaste, hurt) before conveying another set (content, happiness and new beginnings). I do feel like this is a very lovely representation of moving on, healing and learning to grow even when we wished something could have gone better than we originally thought. I also feel some connection in the regards to that my past relationship was mostly one-sided effort and this went on for around 6-7 years, so I gave in so much effort to be dismissed heavily, it got to a point I would justify any reason to 'love' this person I was with and to an extent, I feel people do feel that way when they unconditionally love someone or something, they give their all with no intention of anything in return and then well, it gets to a 'breaking point' a point where you can't give any more and some people (I am guilty of this sometimes) have a habit of being so loving, caring and over-baring that they will deprive their own health, self-care for the help and benefit of another and when those things end, it can fall into a sense of hate, a sense of upset, hurt; You feel hurt because even though you gave your all it never feels enough, even though you tried your best, it didn't work out, even with all that love and that's because love is always two-sided (or just in general every party of the relationship) and not one-sided; It's a commitment of all involved, not just one. When it came to mine, I feel that sense of relieving, happy moving on emotion, it took a lot of time to get over something like that but it also can be just hard to open yourself up to someone new and a part of who you are is made from those past experiences, those small things you take around with you but then it comes to a day you can have two type of closure, a closure with yourself in the sense you realise your worth and you say 'It's okay if this didn't work out, I tried my best and I know I am worth more than this' and a second where the person who you were involved with begins to learn too, even if you aren't together, that optimistic hope that they themselves can improve on themselves, be the best person they can be and can experience those happy moments with new people the same way you can, it becomes uplifting and hopeful because it means you can learn to forgive and heal. ...I also just really love this music video because Green is one of my favourite songs.
The fact that this is stop motion really adds more to the song and story because each and every frame was moved and manipulated by hand, beautiful story and amazing song!

The moon transitioned from half lime and lemon .Then to just half a lime when the lemon died.Ending with the sun coming up being a orange contrast . Beautiful.
this song rlly reminds me of my grandma. she's literally my everything, and her favorite color was green. she was my only safe place, she protected me from any harm and now I feel bad not being able to express how thankful and how much I love her just bcus Im not good in expressing my emotions. I was seriously in Gr3 back then when she left and now I'm in Gr10 and I still regret not telling her how much she means to me.
This was the first Cavetown song I ever heard because I saw Louis, one of the art directors, tweet about it. It's weird to think that if I hadn't seen that tweet back then, I wouldn't have discovered my favourite artist who has helped me through a lot, and I probably would have never discovered I was aromantic either. I guess I've been very lucky
This hurts my heart so much…but the story makes so much sense. Especially with the music. I never thought that a tortoise could be downright terrifying. Oh man…this is amazing
The juice is love. She poured out all of her love for him and received nothing back. She had no more love to give so he left. She finally found someone who could give her the juice (love) she wanted. He got jealous and upset and he was ready to give her all his love but sadly died. So fucking beautiful. Nice job. I love you Robbie.
In the song, I think the death is metaphorical. It signals the end of what they had, he finally got over it and moved on. I know that your comment was more aimed at the video, but just thought I'd point that out.
i feel like its about being on he recieving end of unrequited love and not being able to reciprocate feelings and they had to end the friendship because the other person couldnt only love them as a friend,
@@blueyskinks1092 While the meaning of the song can be interpreted in many different ways, which is amazing, what different people think it's about is beautiful, on his bandcamp for this track he gives his meaning of the song. Maybe you could see robbie's point of view towards this song and compare other's point of view. I personally love all the theories because they're so beautiful.
"you look so good in green" and he wants that person to stay that way but lime's love for lemon is slowly turning him brown so lemon had to go away. thanks Rob, you made me overthink fruits
This is a story about a relationship cavetown had where the other person gave him everything, but he didn’t reciprocate with his own support. So the other person left him and found a new relationship where they both support each other. Meanwhile, cavetown got eaten by a giant turtle. The authorities are still looking for cavetown’s remains to this day.
Me and my friend used to love sharing songs. She’s the person that actually introduced me to Cavetown and when we heard about his new album Lemon Boy we were so excited! But she passed before she could hear these amazing songs. And this is the song that always makes me think about her. I just wish she could hear it.. Now seeing this music video really hits me in a spot that I thought died with her. But I guess not because I’ll always have Cavetown and I’ll always have her with me.. Thank you Cavetown. 💛💛💛
i hope you’re recovering from that, it must be difficult. but music is my way of therapy, and it’s nice hearing that you’re staying positive. she’d be so happy for you
oh..oh my goodness this is so pure..i'm so sorry for your loss i can't imagine how hard it is for you..i'm so glad her and cavetown get to share that area in your heart
I had first started talking to her when my grandfather died. I had to postpone our first date to suddenly fly out of state. When I returned she was waiting for me at the airport and had brought me dinner. We drove out to the fields by the runways and watched the planes land. She was wearing a green blouse. 7 months later she told me her feelings were coming and going and she didn't know where to go from here. Something about a break was brought up, or it really ended, I still don't know. I left her place internally devastated. This was about 2 weeks ago. I was folding laundry when this song came on, and now I'm just sobbing. I know somehow things will get better. But right now it hurts a lot.
I’m so happy, sad and proud. I remember when you posted those tøp covers and showed us little Casper. When he died, I was crying nearly that whole 20 minutes of video. Now you have Fig (love him too) and albums and music videos like these. Well done Caveboi
i'm crying over a lemon. thank you, robbie, i love u. i never thought i would feel so many emotions over something like this, but, i mean, i'm still crying. thanks. :'')
When they all cried at the end I actually started crying too ~ this is such a beautiful work of art, extremely proud of robin and thankful to all the beautiful people who made this :) thank u :3)
Man, what a beautiful message. Don't give too much of yourself to people who don't give anything back, and don't take too much from people who would willingly give you the world. This is just amazing
"was so disappointed I guess I got to my head And I was too young to understand it I get it now that it’s too late I never stopped feeling guilty I’m over it, I promise that" I had an ex three years ago, they introduced me to a lot of stuff and it includes cavetown, who have become my favorite artist until now. We were only together for a short period of time but it was the best time of my life. No one's perfect but for me, they are. Absolutely the best person I've ever met, they were pure, innocent, and selfless. But I took advantage of that back then. Being naive and young is no excuse. The guilt of what I did to them and how much I hurt them have never change up until now. I still cry a lot over them and the messed up things I've done. Also I've been working on myself for the past three years to be better, to at least make up for my mistakes. A year ago we talked and they have already forgiven me for what I've done. I think I don't deserve it. I don't think I will ever forgive myself for it- for hurting such a wonderful person, for doing something so bad. "You looked so good in green I hope you’re well And you look so good with him And I’m proud of you still Take care of my shirt Warm and red I hope you think of me Still as your friend I hope you love yourself Your body and heart I hope you feel happy That’s all I want" For three years up until now, I never really never wanted anything from them. What I have for them are just pure adoration and love- even though it's from a distance. I wish for nothing but their well-being. I don't have to be involved. They have a partner now and I'm absolutely proud of them. At least they're happy, at least their well-being's in good condition. And if not, I truly hope soon it will be. We're still friends and I am truly thankful for it. I see myself undeserving of such thing but I can't believe it, we're actually friends. I still love them but I make no moves nor I have plans to. I just support them from afar. As long as they're well, I'm well. I don't have to be involved in their life.
I hope you know you're not the only person who's found themselves in such a situation... However, the ex of mine who [I thought] we were pursuing marriage with, decided that she didn't want to put in the effort and she went with someone else who was after her. She was filled with red flags, and I only started to see them towards the end of our relationship... Now she's being bitter and spiteful towards me, without making "direct" contact, and I want nothing more than to apologize to her for the things I did wrong on my end, but she jumped right into a short engagement with someone she just met. I want to have the same ending that you did, but I don't believe I ever will. She's chosen to be the victim and bitter about everything in her life, and if I ever attempted to make contact again, it would just solidify and justify that in her mind. I am happy you got the ending that you did, and I hope you are too knowing that it could have turned out much different...
Some other songs: vague feelings of love or sadness about breakups Cavetown: I recognise that the relationship we had was unhealthy and I broke up with you because I knew we would be better off for it. Even though I still have strong feelings for you and have grown as a person, I know that you’re happier without me and I’m staying away because properly reconnecting would only be bad for both of us and I can’t bring myself to do that to you again. I like that other music as well, don’t get me wrong, and obviously Cavetown isn’t the only person who can make songs like this, but this song hits you on such a different level even though I haven’t experienced the exact emotions expressed in the song. Also this is just my interpretation of the song, obviously other people might see it differently
I thinks its more: i broke up with you because i was imature and young, and felt you no longuer had anithing to give me, and never saw how much it hurt you, and how much i didn't value you But its better we stay apart now, i care about you alot, and know its better for you to be with the person that does value you, and makes you happy
I don't think you realize how much I needed to read that reply and vocalize how I feel since breaking off with someone a few months ago. I still feel as if I am grieving sometimes, so from the bottom of my heart thank you.
My ex-boyfriend left me yesterday because he had depression and he wast happy and also dont see a future with me because i hate his parents. We used to read comments in sad videos to see what people say. Now im reading alone and i turn to be one of those people who really feel this lyrics. Fuck
When life gives you lemons give it a lime as a friend so at least the lemon isn't lonely so you can take solace in the fact that you've helped somebody find love
Lyrics cos I couldn't find any in the comments: This is erosion Grind up rocks with your molars A big fish swims past your rod You can't catch it, it's far too fast Deep hook marks in rubber lips I see your eyes in the flowers I'll pick a bunch for your room Green and blue to match your pictures You looked so good in green I hope you're well And you look so good with him And I'm proud of you still I miss your perfect teeth I was too blunt I hope you feel happy That's all I want That's all I want Mess in the kitchen I was so disappointed I guess I got to my head And I was too young to understand it I get it now that it's too late I never stopped feeling guilty I'm over it, I promise that I just gotta sing it out of me You looked so good in green I hope you're well And you look so good with him And I'm proud of you still Take care of my shirt Warm and red I hope you think of me Still as your friend I hope you love yourself Your body and heart I hope you feel happy That's all I want That's all I want
I had to watch this 4 times to understand it! He's the original Yellow one. And the girl he loved was the green one. He left her, and she tried to get him back but he resisted. She found a new guy and he started seeing them together everywhere he looked. At first he was angry but he learned to accept it. She still remembers him and that's why his cork was put on the stone. She will always have a special place for him in her heart.
Kaylee Hughes It is a girl. He states it on his bandcamp and leaves a description about the song Green. ((In no way is this supposed so be a hostile response ❤️))
Whenever i listen this song i cry, because this describes a friendship i lost. They were my best friends, but i was so toxic and eogist that i didn´t realize how much i hurted them. Now they´re happy with new people, and i still missing them as hell but if they´re fine i´m fine. "I´ll sing for myself" "I´m proud of you still"
Same I had a friend I did not know I was being rude "and I was too young to understand it I get it now it's far to late I never stoped feeling guilty" edit: I moved schools she posted a video on it I can say the channel btw the channel is :Sorry I just realised I don't think I can because her face is on there and stuff she talks about tho she does not know Cavetown
Robby/cavetown, you really got me crying over a dead lemon and the words “you look so good in green” your songs are too much for me to handle 😢 but I love your music, you are my favorite artist and you have been since the end of 2021 when I discovered you. I hope you are doing well, never give up! ❤❤

my interpretation of this:
lime does everything for lemon. they’re best friends. the juice is a metaphor for the energy they put into the relationship, and lime is happy to give everything to lemon. lemon gets upset that lime is doing everything for him so he runs away. upset, like moves on to find orange. lime and orange begin to share juices, and it’s a balanced relationship. while lime and orange are out there being best friends or dating, lemon realizes that he shouldn’t have left, and he feels guilty. after lemon dies, lime gets upset again, but lemon hopes that he’s happy with orange.
How cute
I think lemon becomes greedy of lime's juice, and expects lime to keep giving his juice even when lime is running out, so lemon is in the wrong for running away and that's why lemon feels bad and goes to run back to lime but then gets eaten by turtle.
taylor I believe The Tortoise is metaphorical to "Guilt literally eating at him."
thank you everyone this makes a lot more sense now!
Toxic relationships never find a good end. But I'm so sad bc of lemon :'(

Relationships take effort from both sides in order to work. The lime gave all its love to the lemon and it drained itself in the process. The lemon got used to absorbing all this love and never gave anything in return. It became angry when their relationship became strained and exhausted so it ran. Lime found Orange who put in as much effort in the relationship as it did, and their relationship flourished. Lemon realized its mistake and how much it truly loved Lime, but never got to tell it because it was scared and was eaten by a tortoise. Maybe the tortoise represents being overcome with fear, depression, and/or self hate?

The turtle actually represents guilt eating him alive.

I love this song. The lyrics sound sweet, but the video tells a different story. My little analysis is kinda lengthy, so i apologize in advance
The lemon and lime are friends. The friendship is toxic. So very, very toxic. The lime loves its friend very much, and gives the lemon all he has, until he has nothing left. He withers and fades because he gave all he had to his friend, with absolutely no regards to himself. The lemon takes and takes and gives nothing back, and seemingly doesn't notice that his friend is slowly draining himself of energy and sustenance, though the lime smiles as he weakly hands the lemon his bottle of….effort? Emotional strength? Something. The lime smiles because although he's slowly dying, he thinks if it helps his friend, its fine.
The lemon finally notices that the source of strength is draining and notices his friend's withered appearance. Instead of asking if he needs help, he is disgusted and runs away instead of offering something back. The lime is left alone with no one to sustain him.
Lime meets orange. The orange slowly helps the lime come back to life, offering energy, and when the lime is back to health, he offers support in return, like you can see when the bottles of green and orange are next to each other, both full. They support and help each other. Its a much better relationship. The lemon sees this, and is jealous. He understands that the orange is better for the lime than he was (You look so good and green...you look so good with him), and he regrets it and decides to change. He begins to fill up a bottle for the lime, preparing to come back and finally be the good friend he was supposed to be, but he is killed before he had the chance. He didn't take advantage of the time he had, and his time ran out. The two friends weren't meant to be, a lemon is too sour for sweet fruits like limes and oranges. In the last part, when the lime and orange are standing in front of the grave, the lime understands that the lemon tried one last time to be his friend, because he found the cork. The lemon sees them, and the lime (although the lemon is not physically there) “feels at peace”, and the lemon sends a final message “i hope you think of me...still as your friend”
The orange and lime walk away, sad but hopeful for a better future.
Hope that made sense, its late and my brain isn't working

HEY!!!! welcome to the club of crying to this song! I'm sorry someone in the community was rude, people are shitty sometimes!
Ok, have I misunderstood the story on this for two years? Because I _thought_ it was: Lime gives everything to lemon > lemon leaves when lime has nothing more > lime finds lemon's cork and is overcome with loss > lime slowly recovers and finds orange, who heals lime > lemon returns and decides to try and make amends, but is killed by the turtle in doing so > orange and lime mourn lemon.
But I just noticed the turtle scene is shot like a flashback, making the story: Lime gives everything to lemon > lemon leaves when lime has nothing more > lime finds lemon's cork and is overcome with loss > lime slowly recovers and finds orange, who heals lime > it's revealed that when lemon left, they realised their mistake and tried to fill their jar, then died, making lime finding lemon's cork far more tragic > lemon returns but as a ghost, at which point we see what happened to them with the turtle > orange and lime mourn lemon.
It doesn't quite make sense, because if the second version is true, how could lemon be following lime and stalking lime and orange? But the flashback at 2:47 shows the earlier scene when lemon left, but extended to show they changed their mind and went back; and also establishes that the cork falling out at 1:25 is because lemon died. So does lime know lemon died, hence carrying around their cork in mourning? Is lemon following lime a hallucination, is lemon a ghost at that point like later on?
Seems stupid to overanalyse, but it's a beautiful song and video, and I don't know if I've simply got it wrong for two years or if it's very loose and open to interpretation. The different possibilities are so different, though - in one, lemon only tries to make amends after they see lime and orange together. In the other, lemon tried to make amends much earlier but died before being able to do so, leaving lime alone without knowing what lime tried to do until later. Which is even more goddamn heartbreaking.
I think lemon might have been stalking lime as a ghost checking on their living friend in a sort of “I’m so proud of you” kind of way, but I’m not too sure
I think the video is specifically framed to make you second guess, actually. We see the ghost of lemon following lime, and we think its lemon being stalkerish and toxic. But then it gives us the flashback and we realize it wasn't that, it was lemon's ghost, possibly looking out for their friend, possibly just aimlessly unsure of what else to do, probably desperate to apologize probably desperate. "I get it now that it's too late; I never stopped feeling guilty." The flashback recontextualizes the whole video before it. "I hope you think of me still as your friend."
Hey, you're all cool for indulging me. I think it has to be the second narrative; lime knows lemon's dead the moment they find the cork, erects a gravestone at some point after that, then either realises or hallucinates that lemon tried to make amends when later visiting the grave with orange. The sudden disappearance of lemon when lime looks back at the end makes me think it's in lime's head. Or that lemon IS there, as a ghost, but lime can't actually see them.
Hell of a video. There's three or four different ways to interpret it and each one is sad and beautiful in its own way.
Hmm interesting
I think lemon wanted to return and make amends shortly after he'd run off but was killed in the process of return and has been a ghost following like around ever since. Also, it's clear that if he didn't have his cork in his juice would be drained so I think lime knew or strongly suspected lemon was dead because he wouldn't have been able to survive without it?

Okay, I was absolutely NOT expecting to cry! They came so sudden and too quickly to even take in the fact I was crying! The video is great, applause for the animator and to your wonderful song. This has always been my number one song.
the way i interpret this is that the lemon is robin, the lime is the girl that green is about, and the orange is her new "boyfriend". robin said in the description of this song on bandcamp that green is about a girl he loved but he didn't treat as well as he should have, she gave him everything she could and he didn't. when our little lemon guy tries to give back it ends badly and it seems like he was coming off selfish, meanwhile the lime found someone who gave her what she deserved. in the end, they all gain closure and are able to be okay with the past and move on. she was upset and angry but moved on and grew with someone who gave her everything. it's not a completely happy ending but there are no hard feelings towards each other
I think they all look like dudes tbh

My favorite song... O M G
this song reminds me of my old friend who moved away years ago. we were friends for a long time and we fantasized about one day being vets together at our future animal hospital "pet palace". we were so childlike and when we were together i had no worries at all. we were so close. we had imaginary pets hers was a cat named spark and i had a dog named scout. she was just so warm and kind. then in the 3rd grade (yeah we were lil kids) she told me she was moving away to texas. i figured we were playing make believe and so i put my little hand to my ear and said "my mom called! i am too!" her eyes turned darker. she said "no....maisie. im not kidding." the expression on my faced changed. i remember walking to class, crying.
a few months later it was the last day of school. she would be moving that summer and it was the last time i would see her (and i still havent to this day) i got to my stop and i gave her a big hug. i remember feeling her tear fall on my shoulder and i bet mine did too. my mom awaited me outside the door and i said to her "i have to go. im so sorry." i turned to the door and i didn't look back. god, i wish i had looked back. my mom was comforting me and i was still crying. my best friend gone. and i dont think she realizes how much i care about her. i miss you veronica. (god im sorry im so sensitive my computer is wet with tears)
My best friend moved away in 4th grade and now I watch this song and get sad
I hope, though the power of the internet and fate, you two find one another again.
My best friend moved away when I was in fifth grade. It's been five years and I still get sad when I remember how much fun we had together. It was a turning point in my life and I can't imagine how different I'd be if she hadn't moved. I hope you get to see Veronica again someday so you can make sure she knows how much she meant to you. I wish I'd known to tell Hazel just how much she mattered to me
Remember. Sometimes that's the best we can do. I've lost more people than I can count. Almost all made me the man I am today through their guidance, and it hurts more to see them go when I am powerless to stop it. So I remember and never forget what I learned and never lose what they gave. Remember ❤
I hope you 2 reunite with the power of the internet and I bet she misses you too
(Also, kinda unrelated but I didn't expect your best friend to have the same name as mine-)

Maddie Morrison MMEEE TOOO
TRUE
If you don't understand what this is about, read this. I think I have a good point to this, bc I've experienced something similar.
This whole story takes place from the lemons prospective.
Robbie (lemon)
Ex person (Lime)
Ex's new bf (Orange)
This story is of a relationship Lemon was in, and he didn't thank Lime for all of the things Lime did for him, like a one sided relationship. The juice represents feelings, or care, in which Lemon didn't give any in return to Lime. Lime didn't have any juice from anyone, so They weren't mentally okay. They were giving Lemon their all, and got nothing in return. Lime ran out of feelings to give Lemon because they weren't healthy, and Lemon went on to find another person. Lemon left Lime alone because they gave them nothing now. Lime tried coping with it, and sat at the place They sat at with lemon before all of that went down, and smiled, walking down the hill. Then Orange comes into the picture, and They both share their juice with each other, meaning Orange and Lime both care for each other. Lime gets in a better mental state, and looks more healthy with Orange, so Lemon tries gaining the courage to apologize to Lime, but anxiety and depression get in the way. Lemon felt all of that guilt and pressure, Which the Turtle "Eating lemon" is Lemon overthinking and not having enough courage to do so. At the end, Lime said goodbye to Lemons grave, meaning They're trying to "Forget the past, and focus on the future". Lemon didn't actually die, It just means that Lime is remembering Lemon (Like a ghost) and trying to move on from him.
Hope this helped~ :3
Sydne Carter Thank you very much for your beautiful analysis! And I’m sorry that you went through something similar. I really hope you find your “orange” one day!!😊❤️
It makes sence now!!!!
experiencing this exact situation now and it’s one of the most difficult things ever. the guilt really does consume you & there’s nothing really you can do about it
Orange you glad lime ended up happy?
It makes sense, I just took it literally at first, but upon reading your analysis and watching it again, I see it!
This is a song about regretting those we took more from than gave, and LEMONting the fact we messed up, realizing we were the ones who were out of LIME.
In all seriousness if you've ever been the one to end a healthy relationship and regret it, then this song resonates with that vibe

One thing I find beyond beautiful about how this music video is filmed is that it almost feels like we share the grieving process/or simply moving on from a relationship in general regarding the lime; We feel the sadness, hatred, upset from how Lime gave everything to Lemon with nothing in return, the unresolved issues, we can feel that throughout the music video before seeing the bigger picture of how Lemon did try to give back but it was too late - I think that's wonderful, how there is that limitation of one set of emotions (hatred, sadness, distaste, hurt) before conveying another set (content, happiness and new beginnings). I do feel like this is a very lovely representation of moving on, healing and learning to grow even when we wished something could have gone better than we originally thought.
I also feel some connection in the regards to that my past relationship was mostly one-sided effort and this went on for around 6-7 years, so I gave in so much effort to be dismissed heavily, it got to a point I would justify any reason to 'love' this person I was with and to an extent, I feel people do feel that way when they unconditionally love someone or something, they give their all with no intention of anything in return and then well, it gets to a 'breaking point' a point where you can't give any more and some people (I am guilty of this sometimes) have a habit of being so loving, caring and over-baring that they will deprive their own health, self-care for the help and benefit of another and when those things end, it can fall into a sense of hate, a sense of upset, hurt; You feel hurt because even though you gave your all it never feels enough, even though you tried your best, it didn't work out, even with all that love and that's because love is always two-sided (or just in general every party of the relationship) and not one-sided; It's a commitment of all involved, not just one.
When it came to mine, I feel that sense of relieving, happy moving on emotion, it took a lot of time to get over something like that but it also can be just hard to open yourself up to someone new and a part of who you are is made from those past experiences, those small things you take around with you but then it comes to a day you can have two type of closure, a closure with yourself in the sense you realise your worth and you say 'It's okay if this didn't work out, I tried my best and I know I am worth more than this' and a second where the person who you were involved with begins to learn too, even if you aren't together, that optimistic hope that they themselves can improve on themselves, be the best person they can be and can experience those happy moments with new people the same way you can, it becomes uplifting and hopeful because it means you can learn to forgive and heal.

The juice is love. She poured out all of her love for him and received nothing back. She had no more love to give so he left. She finally found someone who could give her the juice (love) she wanted.

In the song, I think the death is metaphorical. It signals the end of what they had, he finally got over it and moved on. I know that your comment was more aimed at the video, but just thought I'd point that out.

fracking sameee ahhhh I need to cover this on my youtube now
T y l e r G o r m a n IM SUBBED TO YOU OMG HI ILY
yoooo hi. ooof though this is such a great video@@mkenzie1406
This is a story about a relationship cavetown had where the other person gave him everything, but he didn’t reciprocate with his own support. So the other person left him and found a new relationship where they both support each other.
Meanwhile, cavetown got eaten by a giant turtle. The authorities are still looking for cavetown’s remains to this day.
rip
Now I finally understand
They had us in the first half not gonna lie.
we-
I was like: Oh that make sens- wait what.
Me and my friend used to love sharing songs. She’s the person that actually introduced me to Cavetown and when we heard about his new album Lemon Boy we were so excited!
But she passed before she could hear these amazing songs.
And this is the song that always makes me think about her. I just wish she could hear it..
Now seeing this music video really hits me in a spot that I thought died with her. But I guess not because I’ll always have Cavetown and I’ll always have her with me..
Thank you Cavetown. 💛💛💛
i hope you’re recovering from that, it must be difficult. but music is my way of therapy, and it’s nice hearing that you’re staying positive. she’d be so happy for you
oh..oh my goodness this is so pure..i'm so sorry for your loss i can't imagine how hard it is for you..i'm so glad her and cavetown get to share that area in your heart
So sorry for your loss. Stay alive and stay well, fren. Your story is makin me tear up a little
thats really sweet, this is pure, im sorry for your loss, i feel kinda the same but eh, i just hope you can feel better!
Bunnygem10 AJ Thank you so much!
I agree music will always be my therapy.
I had first started talking to her when my grandfather died. I had to postpone our first date to suddenly fly out of state. When I returned she was waiting for me at the airport and had brought me dinner. We drove out to the fields by the runways and watched the planes land. She was wearing a green blouse.
7 months later she told me her feelings were coming and going and she didn't know where to go from here. Something about a break was brought up, or it really ended, I still don't know. I left her place internally devastated.
This was about 2 weeks ago. I was folding laundry when this song came on, and now I'm just sobbing.
I know somehow things will get better. But right now it hurts a lot.
Maybe she wanted for you to reveal to her how you felt about her
I’m so happy, sad and proud. I remember when you posted those tøp covers and showed us little Casper. When he died, I was crying nearly that whole 20 minutes of video. Now you have Fig (love him too) and albums and music videos like these. Well done Caveboi
Unknown Person Same!little robbie is all grown up🙃
moral of the story:
you need to appreciate everything you have
and do not trust turtles.
LMAO
Man after watching this video FUUUUUUUIUIUUUUUUCK turtles
So do i just throw out the turtle i have in my pond-
@@naught7474 ah shit-
@@naught7474 yes
i'm crying over a lemon. thank you, robbie, i love u. i never thought i would feel so many emotions over something like this, but, i mean, i'm still crying. thanks. :'')
And like, its less than five minutes long, I didnt think that was possible
Ive never watched the video before. I knew the words and how deep the song was, but that video took it to an entirely new level
It's 3:44am and I'm crying because of a lemon. Sad hours boi
Straight up same exact time for me when I read this comment woah
It's 2:44 am
And I'm crying too because this is just too beautiful
When they all cried at the end I actually started crying too ~ this is such a beautiful work of art, extremely proud of robin and thankful to all the beautiful people who made this :) thank u :3)
Man, what a beautiful message. Don't give too much of yourself to people who don't give anything back, and don't take too much from people who would willingly give you the world. This is just amazing
I'm saving that quote in my quote doc!;)
"was so disappointed
I guess I got to my head
And I was too young to understand it
I get it now that it’s too late
I never stopped feeling guilty
I’m over it, I promise that"
I had an ex three years ago, they introduced me to a lot of stuff and it includes cavetown, who have become my favorite artist until now. We were only together for a short period of time but it was the best time of my life. No one's perfect but for me, they are. Absolutely the best person I've ever met, they were pure, innocent, and selfless.
But I took advantage of that back then. Being naive and young is no excuse. The guilt of what I did to them and how much I hurt them have never change up until now. I still cry a lot over them and the messed up things I've done. Also I've been working on myself for the past three years to be better, to at least make up for my mistakes.
A year ago we talked and they have already forgiven me for what I've done. I think I don't deserve it. I don't think I will ever forgive myself for it- for hurting such a wonderful person, for doing something so bad.
"You looked so good in green
I hope you’re well
And you look so good with him
And I’m proud of you still
Take care of my shirt
Warm and red
I hope you think of me
Still as your friend
I hope you love yourself
Your body and heart
I hope you feel happy
That’s all I want"
For three years up until now, I never really never wanted anything from them. What I have for them are just pure adoration and love- even though it's from a distance. I wish for nothing but their well-being. I don't have to be involved. They have a partner now and I'm absolutely proud of them. At least they're happy, at least their well-being's in good condition. And if not, I truly hope soon it will be. We're still friends and I am truly thankful for it. I see myself undeserving of such thing but I can't believe it, we're actually friends. I still love them but I make no moves nor I have plans to. I just support them from afar.
As long as they're well, I'm well. I don't have to be involved in their life.
:(
God i thought you are my ex cause the person you described was literally me
I hope you know you're not the only person who's found themselves in such a situation... However, the ex of mine who [I thought] we were pursuing marriage with, decided that she didn't want to put in the effort and she went with someone else who was after her. She was filled with red flags, and I only started to see them towards the end of our relationship... Now she's being bitter and spiteful towards me, without making "direct" contact, and I want nothing more than to apologize to her for the things I did wrong on my end, but she jumped right into a short engagement with someone she just met. I want to have the same ending that you did, but I don't believe I ever will. She's chosen to be the victim and bitter about everything in her life, and if I ever attempted to make contact again, it would just solidify and justify that in her mind.
I am happy you got the ending that you did, and I hope you are too knowing that it could have turned out much different...
Some other songs: vague feelings of love or sadness about breakups
Cavetown: I recognise that the relationship we had was unhealthy and I broke up with you because I knew we would be better off for it. Even though I still have strong feelings for you and have grown as a person, I know that you’re happier without me and I’m staying away because properly reconnecting would only be bad for both of us and I can’t bring myself to do that to you again.
I like that other music as well, don’t get me wrong, and obviously Cavetown isn’t the only person who can make songs like this, but this song hits you on such a different level even though I haven’t experienced the exact emotions expressed in the song. Also this is just my interpretation of the song, obviously other people might see it differently
I thinks its more: i broke up with you because i was imature and young, and felt you no longuer had anithing to give me, and never saw how much it hurt you, and how much i didn't value you
But its better we stay apart now, i care about you alot, and know its better for you to be with the person that does value you, and makes you happy
I don't think you realize how much I needed to read that reply and vocalize how I feel since breaking off with someone a few months ago. I still feel as if I am grieving sometimes, so from the bottom of my heart thank you.
No you all made me cry harder
:((
My ex-boyfriend left me yesterday because he had depression and he wast happy and also dont see a future with me because i hate his parents. We used to read comments in sad videos to see what people say. Now im reading alone and i turn to be one of those people who really feel this lyrics. Fuck
Tbh at first i thought it was creepy but then I really saw what was going on and i could not look away. Great story. Great music. Great job Robbie👍
When life gives you lemons give it a lime as a friend so at least the lemon isn't lonely so you can take solace in the fact that you've helped somebody find love
I think I love you ;-; i.. mean your comment.. heh.
Yes.
I'm not crying... I just got some lemon juice in my eye...
@@april8928 it's ok😁at least my comment is loved lol
@@matthew5200 heh, yup... This song is just..it hits me in the feels 😢
Lyrics cos I couldn't find any in the comments:
This is erosion
Grind up rocks with your molars
A big fish swims past your rod
You can't catch it, it's far too fast
Deep hook marks in rubber lips
I see your eyes in the flowers
I'll pick a bunch for your room
Green and blue to match your pictures
You looked so good in green
I hope you're well
And you look so good with him
And I'm proud of you still
I miss your perfect teeth
I was too blunt
I hope you feel happy
That's all I want
That's all I want
Mess in the kitchen
I was so disappointed
I guess I got to my head
And I was too young to understand it
I get it now that it's too late
I never stopped feeling guilty
I'm over it, I promise that
I just gotta sing it out of me
You looked so good in green
I hope you're well
And you look so good with him
And I'm proud of you still
Take care of my shirt
Warm and red
I hope you think of me
Still as your friend
I hope you love yourself
Your body and heart
I hope you feel happy
That's all I want
That's all I want
Thank you 💚
Who knew a lemon, a lime, and an orange could make you cry.
That’s how mafia works
Anybody else going to watch this a Billion times.This is so cute. We are so proud of you Caveboi.
Yes, im going to watch this so much. Its so sweet and sad at the same time, its amazing
He did a good job
Caveboi aww
Imara Cheizoo also shout out to the crew that filmed it
im now sobbing over a lemon, lime and orange. thanks robbie. good job.
I'm not lying
I've listened this song100 times
My favourite
I had to watch this 4 times to understand it! He's the original Yellow one. And the girl he loved was the green one. He left her, and she tried to get him back but he resisted. She found a new guy and he started seeing them together everywhere he looked. At first he was angry but he learned to accept it. She still remembers him and that's why his cork was put on the stone. She will always have a special place for him in her heart.
Kaylee Hughes look up the song On genius lyrics. It tells some things
Kaylee Hughes It is a girl. He states it on his bandcamp and leaves a description about the song Green. ((In no way is this supposed so be a hostile response ❤️))
wow.
Deep.
Aww that for real made me cry
I agree but... Why put genders on fruits ?
Whenever i listen this song i cry, because this describes a friendship i lost. They were my best friends, but i was so toxic and eogist that i didn´t realize how much i hurted them. Now they´re happy with new people, and i still missing them as hell but if they´re fine i´m fine. "I´ll sing for myself" "I´m proud of you still"
how true, i just get mad allot tho ahahhaha reeeeeeee
Same I had a friend I did not know I was being rude "and I was too young to understand it I get it now it's far to late I never stoped feeling guilty" edit: I moved schools she posted a video on it I can say the channel btw the channel is :Sorry I just realised I don't think I can because her face is on there and stuff she talks about tho she does not know Cavetown
Well u deserve it u were toxic end of story 🤷🏼♂️
@@asesino2094 bro wth
@@asesino2094 people change, being toxic in one phase of your life doesn't determine how you'll be for the rest of your life
I've never thought I could have empathy for a Lemon
same dude, what is this
I feel that
You’ve obviously never watched Adventure Time then
Robby/cavetown, you really got me crying over a dead lemon and the words “you look so good in green” your songs are too much for me to handle 😢 but I love your music, you are my favorite artist and you have been since the end of 2021 when I discovered you. I hope you are doing well, never give up! ❤❤
