Spirit of the rising moon,
In the wind I come to you,
Like a desert needs the rain receive my hopes
And set me free...

In the dark I cross the door,
The candle shines and lights my face...
In the night your flame is gold,
Invade my soul and light my way...





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ashram's song "Spirit of the Rising Moon" signify the singer's journey towards spiritual enlightenment or awakening. The opening line, "Spirit of the rising moon, in the wind I come to you," sets a mystical tone as the singer invokes the celestial object as a spiritual guide. The moon has always been considered a symbol of femininity, intuition, and transformation. The verse suggests that the singer is seeking guidance and aid from the moon, knowing its power to influence the tides and cycles of life. The second line further emphasizes this sentiment, where the singer juxtaposes the idea of a desert needing rain with their hopes yearning for fulfillment. The line "receive my hopes and set me free" can be interpreted as the singer's plea for liberation from mental or emotional blockages, and to be open to new possibilities in life.


The second stanza speaks of the singer's preparation for spiritual awakening. "In the dark I cross the door, the candle shines and lights my face" paints an image of someone entering a dark room, probably a symbolic representation of the inner self, with only the light of a candle to guide them. The light illuminating their face can also be interpreted as the light of awareness, which is a crucial aspect of enlightenment. The next line, "in the night, your flame is gold," refers to the moon's power to illuminate the darkness of one's soul, much like how the candlelight brightens the dark room. The words "invade my soul and light my way" effectively encapsulate the singer's earnest desire to be enlightened and to let the light guide them to their destined path.
