Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a...
[Chorus]
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes

[Chorus]
The lyrics to Bonnie Guitar's song "Dark Moon" explore the theme of lost love and the pain that accompanies it. The chorus repeats the question of why the moon has lost its splendor and withdrawn its light. The moon serves as a metaphor for the singer's own loss of love, suggesting that the darkness she feels is reflected in the world around her. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of this pain and how it seems to follow the singer wherever she goes.
The verses of the song add complexity to this theme by pointing out the unrealistic expectations we often have about love. The line "mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes" suggests that we expect love to be easy and perfect, but the reality is much more complicated. The singer hints at the pain that can come with love, but the details are left to the listener's imagination. This ambiguity allows the song to resonate with a wide audience, as everyone has experienced some form of heartbreak in their lives.
Overall, "Dark Moon" is a poignant meditation on lost love and the pain that comes with it. The metaphor of the moon adds a sense of mystery and universality to the song, while the verses provide a realistic and relatable counterpoint to the chorus's central question.

I’ve got to hand it to whoever is handling Marvel’s soundtracks; they are mining both the distant and recent past for great music for their films— as well as current obscure works. This is a gem
