You Pretend to Be the Moon
Cosmic Secrets: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'You Pretend to Be the Moon'
Lyrics
You pretend to be the moon
You act as if you were the moon
Infinitely far away
Seemingly at an infinite distance
And you're always leaving soon
Constantly departing soon
But what you want, you'll never say
You keep your desires unspoken
You pretend to be the moon
Continuing the moon pretense
Looking down upon us all
Observing from above
Always taking a dim view
Always having a pessimistic perspective
Feeling cold and blue and small
Feeling distant, cold, and insignificant
You've seen your friends and lovers die
Having witnessed the death of friends and lovers
The weepy ends, but you don't cry
Experiencing sad endings without expressing sorrow
Remember when we'd wave goodbye?
Recalling moments of saying goodbye
At least I tried
Expressing an attempt, perhaps to console
You pretend to be the moon
Maintaining the moon façade
With another secret face
Having a concealed alternate identity
Always only passing through
Always in transit, never staying
Because you come from outer space
Implying an extraterrestrial origin
You pretend to be the moon
Continuing the charade of being the moon
Old and fat and made of stone
Depicting the moon as old, fat, and solid
But I've seen you in the nude
Claiming to have seen the moon vulnerable
When you thought you were alone
Observing the moon in a private moment
