Moon Baby
Eternal Longing: Moon Baby's Poignant Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
It's been awhile since you went away
Expressing the duration since the person departed.
Could I convince you to stay
Questioning the possibility of convincing the person to stay.
I wish I had five more minutes
Expressing a desire for a little more time with the departed.
I wish I could save you
Expressing a wish to save the person who left.
You were always by my side
Highlighting the constant presence of the person by the speaker's side.
When you left all the flowers died
Linking the departure to a metaphorical death of flowers, possibly symbolizing life or joy.
I'm not ready
Expressing unreadiness to cope with the departure.
I can't live without you
Declaring dependency on the departed person for survival.
Are you sad yet
Repeating a question about the emotional state of the departed person.
Are you sad yet
-Are you sad yet
-She said goodnight
Describing a recurring theme of bidding goodnight and the person being present in dreams as a 'moon baby.'
I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
-She said goodnight
-I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
-I jumped back to find you
Reflecting on the past and questioning if more could have been done.
Was there more I could do
Expressing a longing to find the departed person.
You looked into
Describing a moment where the departed person looked into the speaker's eyes.
My eyes
-Saw your very last breath
Recalling the final breath of the departed person.
We knew I'd outlive you
Acknowledging the expected longevity difference but emphasizing the enduring pain.
But the pain you left won't subdue
Expressing the persistent emotional impact of the departure.
I'll remember
Reflecting on the lasting trauma and its mark on the speaker's heart.
All this trauma
-Left a mark on my heart
-Are you sad yet
Repeating the question about the departed person's sadness.
Are you sad yet
-Are you sad yet
-She said goodnight
Reiterating the theme of bidding goodnight and the person being present in dreams.
I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
-She said goodnight
-I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
-She said goodnight
-I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
-She said goodnight
-I can't fall asleep
-She'll be in my dreams
-My moon baby
Concluding with the recurring image of the departed person as a 'moon baby.'
