Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon (English Translation) lyrics
How good it would have been if this were all just a dream
Even now, I still dream of you
Like I’m going home to get something I’ve forgotten
I dust off my old, worn memories

The last thing you taught me
Is that there are types of happiness that don’t come back
The dark past I kept hidden and unsaid
Would have remained forever dark, if I hadn’t met you

I know there’s no possible way
I could ever be hurt any more than this

Even the sadness of those days, even the pain of those days
I loved every bit of it, with you by my side
In my heart, never coming out, is the bitter smell of lemon
I can’t go home until the rain lets up
And even now, you’re my light

In the darkness, I traced your back
I remember its outline vividly
Each time I encounter something I can’t fully accept
Nothing wells up but my tears

What were you doing? What were you looking at?
Your face turned to the side, expression unknown

If you’re somewhere now, just the way I am
Trapped in loneliness, suffering and crying
Somehow, please, just forget about me
I wish for it so strongly, with all my heart
That even now, you’re my light

Since then, when I think of you
—Someone I loved
More than I ever thought—
My breath stops
Even though you were by my side
It’s almost like a lie

But I’ll never forget it
That’s the only thing I know for sure

Even the sadness of those days, even the pain of those days
I loved every bit of it, with you by my side
In my heart, never coming out, is the bitter smell of lemon
I can’t go home until the rain lets up
Like one half of a split fruit
Even now, you’re my light

    This song hurts so much. The lyrics are deeply and sadly written from a perspective of a love that never got a happy ending. I love every line of it, it stings my heart when I listen to it and I felt the emotion that the songwriter and the singer was trying to convey. It showed how hard it is to move on from a relationship that gave you so much to remember. It also suggested how moving on wasn't really necessary, on how it's okay to be hurt, to continue hurting, to continue holding on to your love even when no one will meet you on the other side. It gives a message on how someone loved their past lover so much that they long for the happiness and the pain that that person gave to them and if suffering is the only way to relive those memories again then so beit.

    From the start I listen to this song I started to feel it, specially when you love someone that left you, happines were felt in the relationship that it made you nit moved on, it became hard to really moved on.

    Lemon smells sweet but when you taste it is bitter, just like in the song; "You taught me Happiness." But they also was the one who break it that is why its a bitter feeling.
