Moon Like a Pearl
Pia Fraus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night is dark
and I'm waiting
I'm always waiting
All these good things
The sky is full of stars
Heavenly starlight
Heavenly moon bright

I think I'm sleeping,
Silently breathing



the moon like a pearl
You're quiet and lonely
the moon like a pearl

And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Waiting, I'm waiting. 

I think I'm sleeping,
The sky is full of stars
Heavenly starlight
It's just a beautiful moon bright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Moon Like a Pearl" by Pia Fraus tells a story of waiting and contemplation. The first few lines establish a dark and quiet setting, with the singer waiting for something to happen. The repetition of the line "I'm always waiting" emphasizes the feeling of anticipation and the desire for something to change. The mention of good things suggests that the singer is hoping for something positive to come out of the waiting.


The second stanza brings up the theme of loneliness, with the singer describing themselves as "quiet and lonely" and comparing themselves to the moon, which is traditionally associated with feelings of loneliness and melancholy. The line "the moon like a pearl" creates an image of something precious and beautiful but also fragile and isolated. The use of the present continuous tense ("I think I'm sleeping" and "I'm waiting") suggests that the waiting and loneliness are ongoing and that there is a sense of inertia or stagnation in the singer's life.


Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the challenges of waiting and the ways in which waiting can create feelings of loneliness and isolation. The use of celestial imagery, such as stars and the moon, adds a sense of wonder and beauty to the song while also emphasizing the vastness and emptiness of the waiting.
