Moonchild
Celtus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There will come a day I know
Dream of sunlight far far away
Follow the rainbow
Stare into the eyes of love
Come the day when all this hate
Will rust and fade away
Ride on moon child
Far far away
Follow the rainbow
Stare into the eyes of love
Come the day when all this hate
Will rust and fade away
Follow the rainbow
Stare into the eyes of love
Come the day when all this hate
Will rust and fade away
The song "Moonchild" by Celtus is a beautiful and mystical piece that speaks of dreams, hope, love, and the longing for a better world. The first verse starts off with an encouragement for the "moon child" to keep pursuing their dreams, with the promise that one day they will reach them. The next line speaks of the desire to escape from the darkness and into the warmth of sunlight, far away from the pains of the world. The line "follow the rainbow" offers a sense of direction and guidance toward this better place.
The second verse echoes the first, but with a focus on the power of love to overcome hate. There is a sense of optimism that one day, hate will fade away and love will prevail. The image of "fallen angels walk into the vale of kings" suggests a renewal of good over evil or a restoration of a more peaceful world. The chorus repeats the sentiments of the first verse, with the addition of the line "ride on moon child" which conjures up images of magic, mystery, and adventure, all of which are themes present throughout the song.
Overall, "Moonchild" is a song that expresses the longing for a better world, one free from hate and pain, and filled with hope, love, and beauty.
