lemon tree

Lemon Tree

I'm sittin' here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm wasting my time

I got nothin' to do

I'm hangin' around

I'm waitin' for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm drivin' around in my car

I'm drivin' too fast

I'm drivin' too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely

I'm waitin' for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

I'm turnin' my head up and down

I'm turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin' around

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

There are some rhyming in the lyrics, especially in the main verse, the word 'why' and 'sky', 'down' and 'around', it makes the song very fluent and feels very chill when listening to it. Ant the tempo, it's very poetic, its two verses have almost the same beats. The repetition between lines creates a genuine feeling for the writer or the singer, the depression of life and the loneliness surrounding us.

The overall tone for this music is sad, most of the nouns used in there are sad, and it is very depressing. But when you listen to the music, the rhythm is actually pretty happy, and it's interesting, when you actually listen to it, you don't feel the sadness at all, maybe a little at the start, but the main verse was really happy. The overall message from the song is probably betrayal and life is like this, so get used to it. Here are some lyrics: Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky, And all that I can see is just another lemon tree. Even though the lyrics were pretty sad, but in the song, the rhythms were most major, so it sounded pretty happy.
The rhythm for the main verse is this: G, D, Em, B, C, G. There is only one minor in the rhythm so it's pretty happy. But in the starting, the rhythm was all minor, so it's like an uphill slope, starts sad, and become happy.
