Full moon
Annie Ross & the Low Note Quintet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you think you deserve a bouquet
Though you've been admired for the longest time
You're not quite as great as they say
Full moon, when love is in flower
You're bursting with pride, filled with power
Full moon, when kisses are tender
Full moon, I know what romance is
Enough of your sly, knowing glances
Long after stars close their sleepy eyes
And the glow of a full moon dies
My heart will still be full of love
The lyrics to Annie Ross & the Low Note Quintet's song Full Moon describe the moon as being overly self-important and deserving of praise, but ultimately not as great as it thinks it is. The moon is compared to a lover who is filled with pride and power when in a state of love, but is reminded that the love it receives is not solely based on its own beauty and splendor. The singer indicates that they are not swayed by the moon's seductive gaze, as they already understand the true nature of romance. In the end, while the moon may lose its brightness and shine, the singer's love will still burn strong which holds more importance and value.
The lyrics of the song seem to be a metaphor for relationships; with the moon representing one's self in a relationship, and the lover representing the partner. The lyrics highlight that while being admired and praised is important, it's ultimately the love and affection that one receives that holds more weight and value. The song's overall message may be that it is easy to become overly self-assured and rely on one's appearance, but true love and genuine connections are what truly matter in the end.
Line by Line Meaning
Full moon, filled with your own importance
You take yourself very seriously and consider yourself very important.
For you think you deserve a bouquet
You believe you are worthy of admiration and praise.
Though you've been admired for the longest time
Although you have been appreciated for quite some time,
You're not quite as great as they say
You are not as wonderful and amazing as they make you out to be.
Full moon, when love is in flower
During the time of year when love is abundant and in full bloom,
You're bursting with pride, filled with power
You are extremely confident and feel very powerful.
Full moon, when kisses are tender
During those moments of soft and gentle kisses,
Don't think it's because of your splendour
Do not assume that your beauty and radiance are the only reasons people are showing you affection.
Full moon, I know what romance is
I am familiar with the nuances of romantic relationships and love.
Enough of your sly, knowing glances
I am tired of your cunning and suggestive looks.
Long after stars close their sleepy eyes
Even after the stars have faded away into the night,
And the glow of a full moon dies
And the full moon's light fades away,
My heart will still be full of love
My heart will continue to be filled with love and affection.
