Hollow Moon
Celestial Dance: Exploring the Enigmatic Meaning of Brendan O'Shea's 'Hollow Moon'
Lyrics
There's a hole in the sky
There is a disturbance or emptiness in the sky.
With flames coming through
There are intense emotions or difficulties represented by flames breaking through.
Dims my vision and the rains coming too
My perspective is obscured, and there's an impending emotional storm.
There's a rainbow on the hill
Symbolic imagery of hope and positivity represented by a rainbow on a hill.
Colours I have set aside for you now
Reserved positive emotions for someone special.
Must be an angel, maybe it's the devil too
Suggests the presence of both positive and negative forces, possibly conflicting emotions.
Out at sea there's a burning light
At sea, a persistent light, possibly a symbol of hope or guidance.
Been there all day now on comes the night
Despite challenges during the day, nightfall persists.
And there's a hollow moon hanging there for you now
A symbolic hollow moon, possibly representing emptiness or unfulfilled desires.
Must be an angel, maybe it's the devil too
Reiteration of the coexistence of both angelic and devilish elements.
And there's a calm to the night
A peaceful atmosphere during the night.
Takes me by the hand
A comforting presence taking control.
Dancing with seagulls upon the strand
Symbolic dance with freedom and joy, represented by seagulls.
And I'm pulling in the stars
Striving for the unreachable, reaching for the stars.
There's so much farther I can reach with you now
Expressing the potential for greater achievements with a special person.
Must be angel, maybe it's the devil too
The persistent theme of both angelic and devilish influences.
And there's a hole in the sky
Repetition of the earlier imagery of a hole in the sky.
With flames coming through
Intense emotions or challenges continue with flames and rain.
Dims my vision and the rain's coming too
Reiteration of obscured vision and emotional turmoil.
There's a rainbow on the hill
Recurrence of the positive imagery of a rainbow with reserved emotions.
With colours I have set aside for you now
Reiteration of positive emotions set aside for someone special.
Must be an angel, maybe it's the devil too
Emphasis on the coexistence of both angelic and devilish elements.
Must be an angel, maybe it's the devil too
Final reiteration of the dual nature of angelic and devilish influences.
