Fear the Moon
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All cats look grey in the grey light
Red, green and white all look brown
Would you choose me in the daylight?
If I said yes, would you still be around?

I saw blue and I wanted you
And now I fear the moon
Built my house of bricks and mortar
No-one can blow it away
I'm safe from every quarter
Unless you sneak in when
I look the wrong way

I saw black I wanted you back
And now I fear the moon

Who pulls and pushes the oceans
Who governs all that flows
Now the wheels are set in motion




I made my wish and I'll get
What I chose

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Fear the Moon" by Clouds compares the way that people look different in different lighting conditions to the uncertainty of relationships. The singer asks if their love interest would still choose them in the daylight, indicating that they are unsure if their connection is strong enough to hold up under closer scrutiny. This uncertainty is linked to the fear of the moon mentioned in the chorus, a metaphor for the unknown and unpredictable nature of emotional attachment.


The second verse continues the theme of uncertainty, with the singer describing the house they have built as a symbol of their emotional security. However, they acknowledge that even this protection is not foolproof, as someone could sneak in "when I look the wrong way." This line suggests the vulnerability and fragility inherent in relationships, even when we try to safeguard ourselves against potential harm.


Overall, "Fear the Moon" is a song that explores the complexities and insecurities of love and relationships. It touches on themes of uncertainty, vulnerability, and the fear of being hurt, all conveyed through vivid metaphors and poetic imagery.
