Lyrics
Waves crashing in
Reference to the sound of waves crashing in.
Tides are low so I feel low again
Feeling emotionally low as the tides are low.
Sand itching my skin
Physical discomfort from sand itching the skin.
Stare at the moon
Contemplating the moon's presence.
Knowing it will be gone so soon
Awareness of the transient nature of the moon.
Temporary like you
Comparing the temporary nature of the moon to someone.
Don't take me back to Moon Beach
Expression of not wanting to revisit a place called Moon Beach.
Time it slows up so quickly
Perception that time slows down quickly at Moon Beach.
No one knows
Emphasis on the unknown, mysterious aspects.
Who comes and goes
Highlighting the transient nature of relationships.
Know I should leave but Mary Shelley's pulling me back in
Ambivalence about leaving, with a reference to Mary Shelley as a tempting force.
Takes me for a swim
Mary Shelley metaphorically pulling the narrator into a metaphorical swim or experience.
Salt in my eyes stings a little but I do not mind
Experiencing discomfort (salt in eyes) but accepting it willingly.
I'm better off blind
Suggesting a preference for ignorance or avoidance.
Don't take me back to Moon Beach
Reiteration of not wanting to return to Moon Beach.
Time it slows up so quickly
Repetition of the perception that time slows quickly.
No one knows
Reiteration of the mysterious and transient nature of relationships.
Who comes and goes
Continuation of the theme of relationships and their uncertainty.
Don't take me back to Moon Beach
Final plea not to return to Moon Beach.
Time it slows up so quickly
Reiteration of the rapid passage of time at Moon Beach.
No one knows
Emphasis on the enigmatic and unpredictable nature of experiences.
Who comes and goes
Final emphasis on the transient nature of relationships and experiences.
