Moon
Emily Coulston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the windows are turning off
All the signs
And the billboards are burning out
And I start running home
'Cause even the stars in the sky seem so small
Like they've lost
Faith in themselves
Darling I will never know how
You do it all on your own, now
Lighting up my whole world by yourself
Lean my head
Back against the wall watching you and
I fall in love just after two
Thinking in life, all I want is to be the one
You're looking for when the night is over
Darling I will never know how
You do it all on your own, now
Lighting up my whole world by yourself
And darling, I will never want more
Oh darling
Darling
Darl-oh-oh
Oh darling
Darling
Darl-oh-oh
Oh darling
Darling
Darl-oh-oh
Oh darling
Darling
Darl-oh-oh
Oh darling
Darling
Darling, oh
Oh darling
Darling
Darling
The song "Moon" by Emily Coulston is a love song that speaks of the light and inspiration that a lover brings into one's life. The song begins with the imagery of a city at night, where all the lights and signs are turning off, and the stars in the sky seem small and to have lost faith in themselves. But amidst this darkness, the lover's light shines brightly and never wavers. The singer confesses that they do not know how the lover does it all on their own but that they are grateful for lighting up their whole world.
In the second verse, the singer leans back against the wall and watches the lover, falling in love with them all over again after two minutes. They express the desire to be the one that the lover is looking for when the night is over, indicating a deep desire for a lasting and committed relationship. The song ends with repetitions of "darling," which suggest that the singer is addressing the lover directly, expressing their deep affection and admiration.
Overall, "Moon" is a beautiful and romantic song that celebrates the transformative power of love and the way in which it can illuminate even the darkest of nights.

All the lights
Every single light
In the windows are turning off
Turning off from the windows
All the signs
Every single sign
And the billboards are burning out
Burning out the billboards
And I start running home
Began running back to her place
'Cause even the stars in the sky seem so small
The sky's stars don't shine as bright as before and lost their sparkle
Like they've lost
It seems like they've given up
Faith in themselves
Their confidence in their own light
But you always shine
Her special someone always shines bright
Darling I will never know how
She admires and can't understand how
You do it all on your own, now
Her special someone can face everything on their own now
Lighting up my whole world by yourself
Making her world bright and more meaningful by their own effort
Lean my head
Rest her head
Back against the wall watching you and
Watching her special someone against the wall
I fall in love just after two
Fell in love in just less than two seconds
Thinking in life, all I want is to be the one
All she ever wants in life is to be with the person she loves
You're looking for when the night is over
Her special someone can't wait to see her again after the night ends
And darling, I will never want more
She's completely fulfilled and doesn't want anything else
Oh darling
Endearing word for her loved one
Darling
Same as above

Hi Emily!
Just wanted to say thank you for this song and your other songs. It really helped me during my depression. I needed something to get back up on my feet. That was 8 months after you published this song. Right now I am doing better. Got back up on my feet and finally found happiness.This song has been my ladder to happiness. Much love from the Philippines.
