Cancer Moon
Celestial Longing: Cancer Moon's Emotional Orbit
Lyrics
When I met you in
Encounter in Crown Heights
Crown heights
Lack of seating
There was nowhere to sit
Standing, getting a drink
So
Waiting for a seat
We stood and got a drink
Bus ticket obtained
We waited until a
Waiting for a seat
Seat opened up
Seating acquired
I got a ticket on
Bus ticket obtained
The bus
Next day, unpaid bus fare
The next day didn’t pay
Regret about previous actions
Up
Selection of a specific bus
Select’s the only kind
Reflection on mistakes
That stops on the
Bus stop near the apartment
Corner by your apartment
Uncertainty or hesitation
Guess
Self-realization
I
Personal response
Won’t
Personal choice
Make the
Learning from mistakes
Same mistake
Self-awareness and caution
Now that
Post-learning reflection
I’ve learned the hard way
Recognition of lessons
But
Conditional statement
You
Addressing the subject
Feel
Emotional state
Like a
Comparison
Long lost friend
Emotional connection
That I’ve
Past discovery
Found
Past connection
You start the latest trends
Influence on trends
You
Positive observation
Got those shoes and now
Recognition of shared items
I
Personal observation
I see them everywhere
Widespread presence of observed item
Do the wearers know they’re
Questioning awareness of imitators
Biting your style?
Concern about imitation
Time
Concept of time
With
Shared time
You
Emotional connection
Is like a motorcar
Metaphor for relationship difficulties
One that’s stuck in reverse, and
Stagnation or regression
Up
Directional reference
Above
Cosmic imagery
Sky encircles us
Feeling of enclosure
And you make me feel like such a cancer moon
Emotional impact
Hanging in the dark around you
Emotional distance
You make me feel like such a cancer moon
Reiteration of emotional impact
You make me feel so far away from you
Perceived distance
