And he was referring to "cold sand in sleeping bags", meaning they were camping out there. And the "stars in the forest" and other natural phenomena they witness while spending time in this environment generate an overall appreciation of nature and life.

The title of the song Old Pine has a pretty dark story where this tree almost killed the singer, Ben, wherein the end he survived it. But in the end, considering that most listeners may not even know the titular â€œold pineâ€ that nearly killed the singer, this song sounds more like advocating outdoor experiences as a form of emotional rejuvenation.

And since then, always remembering the death of his lover whenever he saw the yellow color of the lemon tree, "I don't like being lonely / I don't like sitting alone in front of a lemon tree."

The second version is similar to the first version, but after the accident, the lover's men can only see lemon trees even though it's just an illusion.

The third version tells of a man who was abandoned because his lover broke him off, so he contemplated under the Lemon Tree. Why is the Lemon Tree not another tree? because the Lemon Tree represents the contents of his heart, which is sour and thorny, that is the heart of a man after being abandoned by his lover. So, this version is not about the death of a boyfriend but decided by his girlfriend.

Sunflowers are coarse plants that have delicate petals. This flower requires sufficient sunshine and fertile soil to grow but will also tolerate drier conditions. If you apply that metaphor to "Sunflowers", then you can explain that into the 'state' of a relationship which often leads you to 'complicated' situations. Not only that, one of the chorus "Then you left in the dust / Unless I stuck by ya / You're the Sunflower" assumes that both (Lee and Malone) are in love with the same girl. After all, she is a sunflower: rough, yet gentle; need love, but can tolerate a lack of affection.

So, they expressed what Sting described in his own words as "want" and "wish." This means that they miss their respective romantic partners.

For the word 'desert' it seems inspired by Sting wanting to release something like a Middle Eastern-themed song, but it also serves as a metaphor for how his life becomes lonely without love. However, what this song wants to underline is that it tells the feelings of Sting and Cheb currently suffering emotionally because they don't have a romantic partner.
