Supermoon
Case . Lang . Veirs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where all the diamond deals are made
We never used to live this long
We're pioneers, my dear, press on, move along
And if my smile
Seems painted on once in awhile
I can count on you
Would you like to start a river
And ride it like a painted carousel?
Our life savings aren't enough
Have to lobby hard and make it up
Make it up
Supermoon
We never used to live this long
We're pioneers, my dear
Pioneers, we're pressing on, move along
And if my smile
Seems straight as the Tropic of Cancer it's because
Nature isn't magic, it's just a mystery to us
Would you like to start a river
And ride it like a painted carousel?
Our life savings aren't enough
Have to lobby hard and make it up
Make it up
Tell me if you feel it
And we'll mine it to reveal it
From the dams up to the turbines
Tell me if you feel it
And we'll mine it to reveal it
From the dams up to the turbines
They're running much too hot
Too many
Would you like to start a river
Ride it like a painted carousel?
Would you like to start a river
Ride it like a painted carousel?
Would you like to start a river
Ride it like a painted carousel?

Supermoon
This is a time for big deals and ambitious plans
Where all the diamond deals are made
It's a metaphor for a place where wealthy and powerful people meet to make important decisions
We never used to live this long
People used to die younger in the past
We're pioneers, my dear, press on, move along
We're exploring new territories, taking risks and overcoming obstacles
And if my smile
If I'm pretending to be happy
Seems painted on once in awhile
If my happiness is not genuine, but just a facade
I can count on you
I trust you
To notice and to take me out
To perceive my unhappiness and cheer me up
Would you like to start a river
Do you want to create something new and exciting?
And ride it like a painted carousel?
Do you want to enjoy the ride and the beauty of it?
Our life savings aren't enough
We don't have enough money to achieve our dreams

Supermoon
This is a time for big dreams and bold actions
We're pioneers, my dear
We're courageous and visionary
Pioneers, we're pressing on, move along
We're determined to reach our goals and not give up
Seems straight as the Tropic of Cancer it's because
If I look serious or unemotional, it's not because of fate or destiny
Nature isn't magic, it's just a mystery to us
We don't understand everything about the world, but we can learn and explore
Tell me if you feel it
Let me know if you sense what I do
And we'll mine it to reveal it
We'll investigate and excavate to uncover the truth
From the dams up to the turbines
From the largest structures to the most intricate mechanisms
They're running much too hot
They're overworked and overused
Too many
There are too many things to fix and improve
Would you like to start a river
Do you want to create something new and exciting?
Ride it like a painted carousel?
Do you want to enjoy the ride and the beauty of it?

Do you want to create something new and exciting?
Ride it like a painted carousel?
Do you want to enjoy the ride and the beauty of it?
