Lemon Tree
Could I ask a question about the song "Lemon Tree" from Fool's Garden?
What does " I miss the power" in the lyrics mean?
Thank you.
Its lyrics are as follows:
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens -- and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast , I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting 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 turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Da Da-la-da-la-de-la-da
Da-la-la-la-de-la-da
Da-de-le-la
I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I'd like to go out, taking a shower
But there is a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
where nothing ever happens -- and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around in a desert of joy
Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen -- and you'll wonder (*)

This probably means that the singer is missing out on life, but more likely it has no meaning other than rhyming with shower. ap

He feels low and doesn't have any energy. "I feel so tired", he continues singing.
And then, in the last verse we learn that he is trying to get over his lost love, hoping to find another "toy" soon.
So he is actually heartbroken and that's why he doesn't know what to do with himself, feeling blue and out of power.

About the same song: is the 'lemon tree' or 'sit on the lemon tree' an English idiom? I have homework about it and I can't find it anywhere. I'd be grateful for any help
