Man on the Moon
Loneliness in Celestial Hues: Man on the Moon
Lyrics
The man on the moon must be lonely
The man on the moon is assumed to be lonely.
But at least he can say
The man on the moon can console himself by saying, "Everybody knows me."
"Everybody knows me"
He is recognized and known by others.
Up there on his own
He is isolated up there, constructing civilizations from stone.
Building civilisations out of stone
His actions are limited to what he knows, building with stone.
Cos it's all he knows
This is his only reality.
The girl in the crowded
The girl in the crowded room seems content.
Room she must be fine
It is assumed she is fine amidst the crowd.
Bet she feels like all her friends
People around her give their time, making her feel valued.
Give her their time
Yet, she might feel a sense of isolation despite their presence.
But down here with the people
Down here with the people, she experiences moments of loneliness.
She sometimes feels
She feels unnoticed and unseen by others.
Like she isn't seen
Comparing herself to a transparent screen, suggesting a lack of visibility or recognition.
Like a transparent screen
Her presence feels overlooked or ignored.
Sometimes I want
Expresses a desire for a one-way ticket to Mars.
A one way ticket to Mars
The speaker yearns for escape and a fresh start.
I'll take my two friends
The speaker plans to bring two friends along to witness the stars.
And we'll watch the stars
An intention to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos.
I just want to get far
Expresses a longing to distance oneself from the current situation.
From where we are
A desire to go far away from the current circumstances.
I wanna get far
The speaker emphasizes the longing to go far away.
