Sun & Moon
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's raining, it's pouring
A black sky is falling
It's cold tonight

You gave me your answer
Goodbye
Now I'm all on my own tonight
But when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win

We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You held back and lost out
You gave in to reach down
And walk away

A final embrace
You won't turn, I won't change
Nothing more to say

But when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win

We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky

I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

Oh, oh, oh




Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The pre-chorus contains a curious yet wise observation that says you have to take risks in life to achieve anything. Life could be like a big wheel, and those who don't play wouldn't know how to win. The last verse describes the final interaction between the two people before parting ways. Although they have nothing much to say, they hold onto each other in a final embrace before leaving. The song encapsulates the emotions of missing someone so much that the singer feels they will never get over them.

@FadingNebula

2019 and still one of the best tracks on Earth.

@leoj30

Yes, and will be into 2020, 21, 22,23....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@LlamaDrama142

Oh, for sure. 5 years deep in the rave scene here, and I still hold this song as one of the best, if not the best.

@ni4694

Make that 2021

@ni4694

@Calvin J it's trance bro not rave

@LlamaDrama142

@N I lmao no. Rave by definition is simply a dance event with electronic music. Trance, just like any other sub-genre, falls into the edm category.

Word of advice: don’t correct people without first having correct information
