The Far Side Of The Moon
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've seen it all before
Whatever is left of you
Is waiting for the cold
Reminds me of the fragile me
I buried long ago
A flower cannot bloom
On the far side of the moon
The more I'm letting go
Don't go calling for yesterday
The past is dead and gone
Don't go calling for yesterday
The best is yet to come
It's yet to come it starts right now
It's yet to come it starts right now
Don't go calling for yesterday
I know well what lies ahead
I've seen it all before
I want to be close to you
So close you break in two
Before I have to go
There's one thing you should know
The lyrics of De/Vision's song "The Far Side Of The Moon" open up with a sense of familiarity and a feeling of déjà vu, the singer clearly recognizing that they have seen it all before. They await the cold, which presumably is a metaphor for the emptiness and loneliness that await them. The next line then becomes quite intriguing as the singer speaks about a fragile version of themselves that they had buried a long time ago. It could be inferred that they may have buried their vulnerabilities and emotions in order to avoid getting hurt. They then introduce the metaphor of a flower not being able to bloom on the far side of the moon (dark side). This suggests that the singer is unable to grow or improve in a space, whether physical or emotional, which is devoid or opposite of light.
As the song progresses, they seem to let go of their past and look forward to the future. They urge the listener to forget about yesterday, as the past is now dead and gone, and instead focus on the present and the future. They believe that the best is yet to come and it starts right now. The final verse then indicates a deep longing. They want to be close to the person they are addressing, wishing to break them in two. Finally, as they prepare to leave, they insist that there is one thing that the listener should know - this creates a sense of mystery and curiosity as to what this one thing may be.
