Silver Moon
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't breathe because I am on my own
And put this night into a picture frame
Guess it's me, the only one to blame
This must be another fairytale
I am fallin' and I am out of control
City lights will never be the same
Ref:
Tonight there is a silver moon
Coming down from the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down in my lonely dreams
But tonight there is a silver moon
Shining down on the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down head over heels
This must be another fairytale
I can't breathe because I am on my own
And put this night into a picture frame
Guess it's me, the only one to blame
This must be another fairytale
I am fallin' and I am out of control
City lights will never be the same
Tonight there is a silver moon
Coming down from the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down in my lonely dreams
But tonight there is a silver moon
Shining down on the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down head over heels
(Head over heels)
Tonight there is a silver moon
Coming down from the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down in my lonely dreams
But tonight there is a silver moon
Shining down on the lonley roots
And shes sparkling in the silver seas
Coming down head over heels
(I don't sleep tonight)
(This bright, bright silver light)
(I don't sleep tonight)
(This bright, bright silver light)
The lyrics to "Silver Moon" by Donkeyboy speak about a fairytale-like experience that the singer finds themselves in, where they feel alone and unable to control their falling. They describe the city lights as never being the same and put themselves to blame for the situation they find themselves in. The chorus mentions a silver moon that is sparkling in the silver seas, coming down in the singer's lonely dreams, and making them feel like they are falling head over heels. The repetition of the words "lonely roots" in the chorus adds to the sense of feeling alone and being in a dream-like state.
The song's lyrics seem to suggest a feeling of isolation and disorientation, where the singer is struggling to make sense of their surroundings. The use of imagery such as the "silver moon" and "sparkling silver seas" suggests a sense of magic and wonder that the singer is experiencing but is unable to fully grasp. The repetition of the words "bright, bright silver light" in the bridge highlights the importance of the moon in the singer's experience and draws attention to the dream-like quality of the lyrics.
Overall, "Silver Moon" is a song that speaks about feeling lost and unsure in a situation that feels like a fairytale, highlighting the importance of the moon as a symbol of magic and wonder in the singer's experience.
