I was bathing in the moonlight
The speaker metaphorically describes being immersed or engaged in the moonlight.
Waiting for the sun to die
Expresses a desire for the end of the day or sunset, symbolized by the sun's demise.
To die
Reiteration emphasizing the longing for the end or disappearance of the sun.
I was bathing in the moonlight
Repeated lines emphasizing the anticipation of the sun's disappearance and the speaker's immersion in moonlight.
Waiting for the sun to die
-To die
-I was bathing in the moonlight
-Waiting for the sun to die
-To die

-It's been a long time since I said what I really felt
The speaker hasn't openly expressed genuine emotions for a significant period of time.
It's been a long time since I was myself
It's been a while since the speaker felt aligned with their true self.
It's been a long time since I took a look in the mirror
Long duration without introspection or self-examination.
It's been a long time since I've been seeing clear
Refers to a prolonged period without clarity or understanding.
Sleeping in your shadow as you deepen your marks
The speaker feels overshadowed or obscured by someone else's influence.
If I deceive and you believe that you can see in the dark
Hinting at a situation where the speaker might deceive, while the other person believes they can navigate through difficulties.
All the pleading and the speeches are extinguishing sparks
Attempts to resolve conflicts or problems are diminishing positive outcomes.
But if I leave, we have the peace of being equal apart, yeah
Leaving might bring peace despite the separation.
Sick of the wait, I got no patience
Frustration due to waiting without progress.
But I've been stuck here for days
Feeling trapped or stagnant for an extended period.
Sick of the weight, causing me pain
The burden or pressure becomes physically painful.
Skeleton buckles with strain
The stress and pressure are causing the speaker's inner self to weaken.
Bathing in your rays, reminisce on summer days
Reflecting on past moments and memories.
Watching you decay, moonlight in my gaze
Observing decay or decline, possibly in a relationship or situation.
Whatsoever, wanna, gotta, live another day
Desire and determination to keep living.
Whatsoever, staring at the moonlight on my face
Focused on the moon's influence and its reflection on the speaker's face.
Casanova couldn't find out what it means to stay
A reference to Casanova, suggesting a comparison to someone who doesn't commit to staying in relationships.
Casanova never knows, onto another date
Continuing the theme of Casanova's fleeting nature and lack of commitment.
Heartbeat, higher
A heightened heartbeat due to intense emotions.
Flying through desire
Feeling propelled by strong desires or passions.
Lungs taking air
Taking in life-giving air but uncertain about the future.
Future unclear
A sense of uncertainty or lack of clarity about what lies ahead.
Under the stars I feel so small
Feeling insignificant under the vastness of the universe and questioning identity in the face of unknown experiences and unmet people.
There's so much to see who am I at all?
-These people out there that I'll never meet
-So why can't I change your perception of me
-Under the stars I feel so small
-There's so much to see who am I at all?
-These people out there that I'll never meet
-So why can't I change your perception of me
-Are we high enough
Asking whether the current state or feeling is sufficiently intense or meaningful, with a willingness to share it with a specific person.
I'll hide it with nobody but you
-Are we high enough
-I'll hide it with nobody but you
