Cry for the moon
Epica_(p) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Follow your common sense (Follow your common sense)
Follow your common sense
The song "Cry for the Moon" by Epica (p) is a powerful and thought-provoking track that encourages listeners to embrace honesty and confront their inner demons. The lyrics serve as a call to action, urging individuals to abandon their feigned innocence and acknowledge the darker parts of their psyche. The song also highlights the dangers of indoctrination and the harm that can result from blindly following the beliefs of others.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the track, with the singer urging listeners to follow their common sense and avoid hiding behind fairy tales. The repeated refrain of "only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose the soul of this bulwark forever and ever" reinforces the idea that honesty and vulnerability are essential to personal growth and understanding. The song acknowledges that traditional religious beliefs and societal norms can be flawed and even harmful, and urges listeners to think for themselves and reject indoctrination.
