Moonlight
Moonlit Desperation: A Surreal Dance with Fate
Lyrics
Under moonlight, a violent tide comes in
Under the moonlight, a forceful tide approaches.
The streets are wild, with desperate children waiting for me
The streets are chaotic, filled with desperate children anticipating my arrival.
It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
A powerful force or influence arrives suddenly, overwhelming the speaker.
If I could breathe I could swim away
Feeling constrained or suffocated; if the speaker could find relief, they could escape.
The strangers danced in killer drag & kicks
Unfamiliar figures dance in a dangerous and provocative manner, wearing killer outfits.
They trick & tread, and smoke up chimneys the christmas list
They deceive and cautiously move, while consuming Christmas wishes by smoking up chimneys.
It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
Similar to line 4, a forceful impact or influence overwhelms the speaker.
If I could breathe I could swim away
Expressing a desire for relief, to escape if the speaker could catch their breath.
It came like a wave, no one can be me but me
A recurrence of the overwhelming force, emphasizing the uniqueness of the speaker's identity.
If I could stand I could run away
If the speaker could find stability, they could run away.
Run away
Reiterating the idea of escaping or fleeing from the overwhelming situation.
It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
Repetition of the overwhelming force and the desire to escape by catching a breath.
If I could breathe I could swim away
Reiteration of the suffocating feeling and the longing for a chance to swim away.
It came like a wave, no one can be me but me
Highlighting the recurrent impact, underscoring the speaker's unique identity.
If I could stand I could run away
If the speaker could find stability, they could run away from the overwhelming force.
It came like a wave, and knocked me down to my knees
The force came like a wave, knocking the speaker down to their knees.
If I could stand I could run away
If the speaker could regain their footing, they could run away from the overwhelming situation.
