The song "Lemon Tree" describes feelings of isolation and boredom on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The singer is sitting alone in their room, missing an absent lover and with "nothing to do." They wonder why nothing ever happens and feel tired, putting themselves to bed. Throughout the song, the singer expresses a desire to get out of the house but feels weighed down by "a heavy cloud" in their head. All they can see outside is "just another yellow lemon tree."
