rises the moon
Liana Flores Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days fade into a watercolour blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the moon
You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
The song "Rises the Moon" by Liana Flores talks about the cyclic nature of life and how no matter how hopeless or difficult things may seem, the moon will always rise. The opening lines of the song describe the monotony of life, where days can sometimes seem never-ending, and the sun appears to mock and taunt the listener. However, the chorus talks about the one constant in life, the moon that rises every day, even after a sunlit day. The moon symbolizes hope, and the fact that it rises every day can be interpreted as a message of resilience and perseverance.
The second verse of the song talks about how memories can sometimes be murky and haunting, but even in such moments, the moon shines bright, reflected in the shimmering lake. The moon also brings with it the assurance of autumn, a time of change and transition, which can sometimes be difficult but is ultimately necessary for growth. The third verse of the song paints the pictures of a sinking ship, talking about how days can pull one down, but the chorus reassures the listener that the moon is still rising, in spite of everything. The final lines of the song describe how, even in dreams, the listener will be visited by the moon.
Overall, "Rises the Moon" is a song that encourages one to hang on, no matter how difficult things might seem, and to take comfort in the knowledge that the moon will always rise.

Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Some days feel as if they go on forever
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
The sun feels like it's mocking you by staying out so long
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
No matter what, the moon always comes after the sun
Rises the moon
The moon comes up after the sun goes down
Days fade into a watercolour blur
Days start to blend together into a hazy memory
Memories swim and haunt you
The memories become overwhelming
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Take a moment to appreciate the beauty around you
Oh close your weary eyes
Rest when you need it
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
Things will get better in time
To darken fading summer skies
Fall will come and bring a new season
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Take a moment to just breathe
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Some days can feel like you're drowning
Floating is getting harder
It's becoming more difficult to stay afloat
But tread the water child, and know that meanwhile
Keep going, things will improve while you wait
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Other days can make you feel uplifted
Uprooted from its garden
Even when good things happen, it can be a shock
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Others will try to take important things from you, but remember to keep moving forward
You'll be visited by sleep
Rest will come eventually
To steal away each dream you keep
The dreams you hold on to will fade away with time

Maybe it has nothing to do with it, but the animal with two heads reminded me of a poem called "Two headed calf":
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature,
they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother.
It is a perfect summer evening:
the moon rising over the orchard,
the wind in the grass.
And as he stares into the sky,
there are twice as many stars as usual.
Loved the music video btw, your music has helped me a lot last year

I can't really listen to this song anymore without crying
I used to sing this to two of my bunnies
yesterday one of them passed away
Had a seizure- He was sick for a while and vets weren't accepting him, or they didn't have any specialists-
Held his body in my arms for a while
he was buried in my garden not long after
with some nice flowers
I still have one left
and she's a sweetheart
she was looking for him when he suddenly disappeared
He was young too
A year and a half
He was sick
Never knew how he got sick
he just suddenly did
He was doing so well on the day before
and then
that morning he passed
he was paralyzed from the waist down
I love him
so much
my little baby boy
he's not around anymore
but at least he's not in pain anymore
The moon rose without him there anymore that night
He's in a better place now.
@WeeWoo_2
its hard
very hard
something i would never wish on anyone
whatever pets you have or anything
its always great to be greatful for when theyre healthy and kicking
never take them for granted
they're precious beings

It's a early morning, you wake up and it's sunny, you want to explore more, it was boring inside your house, as you lay your feet in the grass, dirt surrounds your feet as you dig both your feet inside the deep dirt, you start walking away from your boring house, you want to explore instead. You head towards the warm river, the waters crash over the rocks, and splashes are heard, the bustling sounds of nature is warm and loud, the flowers swing and dance around the sun, and the rivers keel flowing.
You sit on the dirt, and lay your tired feet in the river below, the waters splashing beneath your feet, you collect tiny rocks and begin to throw them inside the cold river, everything seems well and good, the rocks tap and fall into the river, after you finish the stack of tiny rocks you collected, you begin to get up, and watch the river flow, you start to step into the cold waters, you cross the river and wave goodbye towards the river, the splashes of the water wave back.
You then walk far from the river and twirl around, happy to escape from your cage- your house, it feels good to be free, it feels amazing, the birds chirp like nothing since your house, and you can actually touch the grass covered in dew, the sun reflects on the beautiful grass, you pick up a flower and lay on the warm grass and hold the flower to your chest and look up at the clouds, with a small smile, this feels so relaxing, nothing wrong, just, relaxing.
the clouds slowly move, and the wind blows gently on the grass, you feel like sleeping, and the other side feels like playing in the grass... you watch as the sun shines delicately and the dew on the grass, you eyesight fixes on the flower in your hand, you sit up straight up again and look at the flower inside your hand, you twirl it around and smile...
"Life is short, so live your life in peace and happiness."

This is one of those songs that gives you a bittersweet feeling of comfort and melancholy. It feels like missing someone you never knew, like you want to revisit a memory that doesn’t exist
@ABoxOfCartonJuice
Yeah I thought that, you never really know how much you love something, until it is gone.
