LEMON DREAMS
Josh Richards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't change if I'm a loser
The first step I've lead
Has burned me down
Without a trace
It enhanced me
I've exhaled you
I'm suffocating underwater
I hope I won't go much further
Bright face
Watching how my world goes
Upside
Upside
Upside
Down
I'm suffocating underwater
I hope I won't go much further
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Down
Lemonade, a box of sugar
I won't change if I'm a loser
The first step I've lead
Has burned me down
Without a trace
It enhanced me
I've exaled you
Suffocating underwater
I hope I won't go much further
Bright face
Watching how my world goes
Upside
Upside
Upside
Down
Suffocating underwater
I hope I won't go much further
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Upside
Down
And the last leaf
Your heart of wind
Has drove me closer,
I'm falling
This burns you
The underground
I'm sorry honey I'll never be found
Never be found
Never be found
Never be found
Never be found
Never be found
Never be found
The lyrics of "Lemon Dreams" by Josh Richards convey a sense of despair and hopelessness. The image of lemonade and sugar is used as a metaphor for sweetness and optimism, which is counteracted by the singer's thoughts of being a loser, and suffocating underwater. The first line - "Lemonade, a box of sugar" - could be interpreted as the singer's futile attempts to sweeten his life, to make it more bearable. However, he realizes that changing himself won't change his situation. He accepts his fate, but also acknowledges that the first step he took in life has led to his downfall. He doesn't know where to go from here.
The chorus serves to reinforce the theme of being lost and directionless. The repeated phrase "Upside, upside, upside, down" suggests the singer's world has been turned upside down, and he doesn't know which way to turn. The line "I hope I won't go much further" is almost a plea for mercy, a call to be saved from the depths of despair. The last verse marks the end of the singer's hope, as he falls into the abyss, never to be found again. The "last leaf" is a metaphor for the end of something, perhaps a relationship or a phase of life. The heart of wind implies a certain fickleness, and the singer is driven closer to his destruction. He apologizes for not being able to save himself, acknowledging his own helplessness.
