Aspidistrafly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moon in shades of white
Path of stars
Drawing down
Past my eyes
Clear night
The curve of this twilight
Between us
Last goodbye
Growing bright
The moon in shades of white
Path of stars
Drawing down
Past my eyes
Clear night
The curve of this twilight
Painted sky
Between us
Last goodbye
Clear night
The curve of this twilight
Painted sky
Between us
Last goodbye
Clear night
The curve of this twilight
Painted sky
Between us
Last goodbye
Aspidistrafly's song "Countless White Moons" is a mesmerizing piece that captures the beauty and mystery of the night sky. In the first verse, the singer describes the moon growing brighter and shining in shades of white as it draws their gaze downwards along a path of stars. This imagery creates a sense of wonder and awe at the vast expanse of the universe above us.
The second verse continues this theme of breathtaking beauty as the singer beholds the clear night sky and the curve of the twilight, which is like a painter's canvas illuminated by the stars. The phrase "last goodbye" suggests a sense of finality or closure, perhaps signifying the end of an important relationship or moment in the singer's life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Countless White Moons" evoke a sense of wistful longing and contemplation through its stunning imagery of the night sky. The repetition of the verses emphasizes the cyclical nature of the moon and stars' dance through the sky, inviting the listener to reflect on their own place in the vast expanse of the universe.
