Lovely,
I get caught up in one too many,
Problems,
I'm a problem.
Darling,
I can't comprehend,
Things I'll never understand.

At age nineteen,
Morning comes too soon,
I'm gonna wake up on the,
What a calamity,
Morning comes too soon,
I wanna wake up on the moon.
Don't know why,
I end up all alone,
Far too many times,
Fall asleep,
On sharp glass,
My opinions don't make sense,
Feeling like I lost my head,
(1:55-1:59),
At age nineteen,
Morning comes too soon,
I'm gonna wake up on the,
What a calamity,
Mornings come too soon and I don't wanna leave you.

The lyrics of Bowling Shoes's song "Moon" present a snapshot of the struggles and confusion of a young adult. The first stanza showcases the singer's self-awareness of being caught up in too many problems and perhaps even being the problem themselves. The second stanza reveals a sense of confusion and frustration with the things they can't understand, no matter how hard they try.
The refrain, which begins with "At age nineteen," highlights the age of the singer and captures the overarching theme of the song – feeling lost and disillusioned as a young adult. The line "Morning comes too soon" is repeated twice with the desire to wake up on the moon, showcasing the singer's longing for escape and a place where they can find peace and self-discovery.
In the third stanza, the singer expresses a sense of loneliness and despair, with the line "Don't know why I end up all alone, far too many times." The mention of falling asleep on sharp glass and feeling like they have lost their head suggests a deeper struggle with mental health.
Overall, "Moon" is a poignant and introspective song about the challenges of growing up and finding one's place in the world.
