After The Moon
Chasing Dreams Beyond the Moonlight
Lyrics
Daydream the whole night through
Escaping into thoughts or fantasies throughout the night
Believe me, the sun will get you too
Assurance that despite the night, the day and its challenges will eventually affect you
The distance to the next star
Symbolic reference to unreachable distances, possibly denoting emotional separation
Is less than the one between our hearts
Highlighting the emotional gap between two individuals
I'm trying to build a bridge
An attempt to connect emotionally, possibly through metaphorical means
Its purple light silhouettes the ridge
Describing the attempt to bridge the emotional gap with a vivid, dreamlike image
Daydream the whole night through
Reiteration of escaping into daydreams during the night
Trust me, the moon will abandon you
Suggesting that even the comforting moon will eventually leave or disappoint
Over and over, you turn that same key
Repeated actions or attempts, potentially with the same outcome
Try to dream a dream for me
Asking someone to create a dream or hope in a difficult situation
Just let the movie play out in your head
Encouragement to let thoughts or scenarios unfold without control
To let things too white
Possibly referring to accepting things that are too perfect or unattainable
I know it's hard to see
Acknowledging difficulty in perceiving or understanding a situation
I ask you put your trust in me
Requesting trust despite difficulties
I'll see the long night through
Commitment to endure a challenging period
And I'll still be here after the moon
Promise to remain present or loyal even after a comforting phase ends
Over and over, you turn that same key
Repeated attempt or action with hopes of a different outcome
Try to dream a dream for me
Request to create hope or dreams despite difficulties
Just let the movie play out in your head
Encouragement to let thoughts or scenarios unfold without control (repeated from line 13)
To let things too white
Possibly suggesting accepting things that are overly ideal or perfect
