The xxxtentacion song "Moonlight" is a melancholic reflection on the state of the rapper's life. The chorus repeats the phrase "Spotlight, moonlight" with the added line, "N***a, why you trippin'? Get your mood right." This line could be an expression of how the artist feels about his own emotional turmoil. The spotlight and moonlight contrast with each other, with the former being a harsh, unforgiving light, while the latter is softer and more forgiving. Perhaps xxxtentacion is conflicted between wanting to be in the spotlight and wanting to escape it for the peace of the moonlight.
The verse begins with the declaration that "Feel like I'm destined." This line is a statement of purpose and motivation, suggesting that the rapper has a sense of his place in the world, even if it's a dark one. He goes on to say that he doesn't need a gun to defend himself, which could be interpreted as a statement of nonviolence, or perhaps as showing that he feels invincible because of his fame. He then declares that he's taking shots at his enemies, which could mean either physical violence or verbal attacks.
The chorus repeats four times, emphasizing the importance of the line "Shawty look good in the moonlight." This line could be interpreted as both a romantic compliment and a desire to escape the harsh spotlight of fame and find a balm in the softer light of a romantic relationship.
