LEMON TREE Song review

"Lemon Tree" was a song from the album Dish of the Day released in 1995 and
I’m wasting my time, I’ve got nothing to do / I’m hanging became an international hit in 1996. The song peaked at number 26 in the UK
around I’m waiting for you charts, and remained at number one. 1 in a few weeks in Germany. “Lemon tree”
But nothing ever happens also reached number one in Ireland, and remained at number one for a four-week
and I wonder period in the Netherlands.
I’m driving around in my car / Uncertainty in love couple
I’m driving too fast
The boy can't seem to forget the figure of the girl he loves. All he could do was
I’m driving too far / I’d like walk around the dark room and think about her, remember the memories and the
to change my point of view two of them had, though deep in his thoughts he was still waiting for her return.
I feel so lonely / I’m waiting
for you I'm wasting my time, I've got nothing to do / I'm hanging around I'm waiting for
But nothing ever happens you
and I wonder But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder
why, Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky When the guy looked out the window, just a lemon tree, he realized this was the
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree reality he needed to accept. That the girl he loves will never come back and that
all he can do is live with the torment, bitterness and pain of a love that has ended.
I’m turning my head up and down
I’m turning turning turning turning turning around I feel so lonely / I'm waiting for you
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree But nothing ever happens and I wonder

The boy in this song is a man who is devoted to the girl he loves, only regrets that
that love brings him torment and suffering. That love only made him spend days
in uncertainty and wait.
The hidden content behind the lyrics of the song 'Lemon Tree' really makes
listeners think. Although introduced with a cheerful and catchy melody, the song
has a meaning, a heartbreaking story. This seems to be the author's intention to
show more clearly the sadness and pain of love tragedies.
