The Man In The Moon
Embracing the Guiding Light: A Father-Son Connection Under the Moon
Lyrics
There I stood in the night, out on the broken pier
Standing on a broken pier in the night
Me with my feet in the sea
Personal connection with the sea, being close to nature
You with your face in the clouds
Addressing someone with their head in the clouds, possibly a dreamer or idealist
The man in the moon
Referring to the distant figure as "The man in the moon," a symbolic character
And as I heard your voice
Hearing the person's voice
Felt your laugh
Experiencing the person's laughter
Flood across the broken pier
The impact of the laughter echoing on the broken pier
I wanted to die right then and there
Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to end life due to emotional intensity
You smiled down across the waves
Receiving a comforting smile from the distant person
As if to say to me, "Everything will be okay, be strong and true"
Interpreting the smile as assurance that everything will be okay, encouraging strength and truth
And I felt your eyes
Sensing the person's gaze
Like the tide
Comparing the gaze to the tide, suggesting a strong and influential pull
Pulling me out into the air
Feeling pulled into the open air by the gaze
For a moment in time
A fleeting moment of connection and transcendence
You held me there
Being held in that moment by the person
And I felt your eye
Repetition of the tidal gaze, reinforcing its significance
Like the tide
Reiteration of being pulled into the air by the gaze
Pulling me out into the air
Repeating the moment of being held in time
For a moment in time
Reiteration of the transient connection
You held me there
Reaffirmation of being held in that moment
Father and son
Mention of a familial relationship between father and son
Home again
Expressing a sense of returning home or finding comfort
