On the Moon
Bradley Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you were taken too soon
Oh now, I've got things to do
'Cause I'm on the moon
Come back it's so blue
The world, without you
Well now(?), I've got things to do
And I'm not leaving anytime soon
Cause I have made my home here
On the moon
Finding it hard to breathe up here
When no one can see
You think I'd feel afraid
Cause I'm on the moon
And I'm not leaving anytime soon
Cause I have made my home here
On the Moon
Have you ever felt like you can't come down
No matter the problem
You won't be found
I'm not leaving anytime soon
Cause I've made my home here
On the moon
The song "On the Moon" by Bradley Stone is a metaphorical representation of the feeling of loss and grief. The first two lines of the song imply that the singer was far away from the Earth when someone close to him died. The phrase "taken too soon" suggests that it was unexpected or premature. The chorus of the song, "I'm on the moon," means that the singer feels distant and detached from the Earth and its inhabitants because of the magnitude of the loss. The line "And I'm not leaving anytime soon, cause I have made my home here" could signify that the singer has decided to stay in this state of mind and is not ready to move on yet. The line "Finding it hard to breathe up here when no one can see" shows that the singer is struggling with the feelings that arise from the loss, even though he is in a place where no one can see him.
The next stanza, "Have you ever felt like you can't come down, no matter the problem, you won't be found," continues the metaphor of being on the moon to convey the feeling of isolation and detachment from reality. The singer seems to be asking if others have ever felt so detached that nothing can bring them back down to reality, as if they are lost in a world of their own. The final lines "I'm not leaving any time soon, 'cause I've made my home here on the moon" could signify that the singer has decided that this is his current reality, and he has become accustomed to this way of life.
Overall, "On the Moon" speaks about the pain that comes with loss and the detachment from reality that can result from it. The song represents the feeling of isolation and detachment that one can feel when struggling with grief and the idea that the pain can be all-consuming until it feels like one is on the moon.

When you left this earth prematurely, I was unreachable and far away on the moon
Oh now, I've got things to do
I have new priorities and tasks, now that I am out of reach and away from the world
'Cause I'm on the moon
I am focused on my new location and mindset, which is isolated and cold like the moon
Come back it's so blue

The world, without you
The world is empty and lifeless without your presence

Cause I have made my home here
I feel more comfortable living my life with this disconnect and isolation, like it is where I belong
Finding it hard to breathe up here

When no one can see
Nobody can understand what I am feeling or experiencing in my current mental state
You think I'd feel afraid
Despite my isolation, I don't feel scared because I am used to being detached and distant

I still feel disconnected and isolated from the world
Have you ever felt like you can't come down
Have you ever felt stuck in your own head and couldn't snap out of it?
No matter the problem
Regardless of the circumstances you face
You won't be found
You are disconnected from the rest of the world and feel lost in your own mind
I'm not leaving anytime soon
I have become too comfortable in this detached state and don't plan on returning to reality anytime soon
'Cause I've made my home here
I have adjusted to my isolation and have become content with living like I am on the moon

LETRA EN ESPAÑOL:
Estaba en la luna
cuando te tomaron demasiado pronto
pero ahora tengo cosas que hacer
porque estoy en la luna
Mirando hacia atrás es tan azul
el mundo, sin ti
pero ahora, Tengo cosas que hacer
porque estoy en la luna
Y no me voy pronto
porque he hecho mi casa aquí
en la luna
Encontrar difícil respirar
aquí arriba, Donde nadie puede ver
usted piensa que me sentiría libre
porque estoy en la luna
Y no me voy a ir en cualquier momento pronto
porque he hecho mi casa aquí
