Underneath The Moonlight
Beneath the Moonlight: A Heart's Plea for Understanding and Connection
Lyrics
I want
I have a desire or intention
To save you
I want to rescue or protect you
Help me
Assist me
I need it to be true
I need it to be genuine or real
Oh brother where do you go tonight
Questioning the destination or choices of a brother
Underneath the moonlight
In a setting illuminated by the moonlight
Oh brother why do you stay and fight
Questioning why the brother chooses to stay and confront challenges
It doesn't make it feel right to
Expressing that the situation doesn't feel right
Me
Expressing personal feelings
Can't you see
Asking if the brother can perceive
You can't see
Emphasizing that the brother is unable to see
What all of this does to me
Describing the impact of a situation on the speaker
Can you be
Asking if the brother can exist
For me
Requesting the brother to be something for the speaker
What my heart needs you to be
Expressing a need for the brother to fulfill the speaker's emotional needs
Oh my
An exclamation denoting surprise or realization
For me
For the speaker's benefit
My brother can't you see
Reiterating the plea for the brother to understand
Outside
In an external or outer space
Hold me tight
A request for a close embrace
I'm afraid
Expressing fear during a particular night
This is the night
Repeating the need for an embrace in an external setting
Outside
In an external or outer space
Hold me tight
A repeated request for a close embrace
For me
For the speaker's benefit
My brother can't you see
Reiterating the plea for the brother to understand
Help me mother
A plea for assistance from the mother
Not much longer
Expressing that the situation won't last much longer
Feel it stronger
Feeling a growing intensity of emotions
Love you brother
Expressing love towards the brother
Can you be
Asking if the brother can exist
For me
Requesting the brother to be something for the speaker
What my heart needs you to be
Expressing a need for the brother to fulfill the speaker's emotional needs
Oh my
An exclamation denoting surprise or realization
For me
For the speaker's benefit
My brother can't you see
Reiterating the plea for the brother to understand
Outside
In an external or outer space
Hold me tight
A request for a close embrace
I'm afraid
Expressing fear during a particular night
This is the night
Repeating the need for an embrace in an external setting
Outside
In an external or outer space
Hold me tight
A repeated request for a close embrace
For me
For the speaker's benefit
My brother can't you see
Reiterating the plea for the brother to understand
