What lemons?
Life is like a prelude to the inability to ever again compose the human you once were, including your memory, thoughts, and mastery of poorly designed programming languages.
Life is like a simile. It requires to to think in novel ways to understand it, but not too novel.

Life is like the spontaneous expansion of a point mass into a constantly expanding, finite, but unbounded, space, populated primarily by matter, mostly invisible, with the rest largely taking the form of hydrogen. In some regions, stellar nebulae, primarily consisting of hydrogen, have formed giant fusion reactors, around some of which, small, usually spherical, bodies orbit. On at least one of these bodies, self-replicating collections of organic molecules have evolved into complex organisms which, through emergence, have developed consciousness, awareness and a need and, perhaps more importantly, ability to explore and understand the wider universe around them.

Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes (i.e., living organisms) from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate.

Oh, sorry! My cat drank all your lemonade.
I hope you don't mind. (He got out of his box.)
Happy unbirthday, LB
To recognize life, search for entropy reduction. (I think it was Lovelock)
