Luna

(The moon)
(The moon)
(The moon)
(We choose)
(We choose to)
(We choose to go to the moon)
(The moon)
(Go to the moon)
Shades of grey and whiter lies
I'm headed to the dark side
Passing by the pearly gates
Is it heaven or the other place?
Hustle, hustle, through the city we spend our days just trying to be busy
Searching, searching for distractions and think good thoughts, law of attraction
How do we not get dizzy spinning round and round and round?
And if my tree fell in your forest it would not make a sound
Cause you're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
Cause you're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
In nineteen hundred sixty nine, I was born, and well, you died
No longer a myth, no longer a truth, no longer a north star to the youth
Well, it hurts to say, but you're not just mine, you're seen by every man with eyes
You'll come around, each night, who cares?
How do I know you're really there?
How do we not get dizzy spinning round and round and round?
And if my tree fell in your forest it would not make a sound
Cause you're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
Cause you're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
(Go to the moon)
(We choose to)
(Go to the moon)
(The moon)
(Go to the moon)




(We choose to)
(Go to the moon)

Overall Meaning

The song "Luna" by F.U.R.S. is a contemplative piece that delves into themes of loss, distraction, and the search for meaning. The opening lines set the stage with a repetition of the word "moon" and a declaration that "we choose to go to the moon." This can be interpreted as a metaphor for our human need to strive for something beyond ourselves, to look to the sky and dream of grand possibilities.


The next stanza speaks of "shades of grey and whiter lies," which could refer to the grey areas of life where truth and falsehood blur. The singer then mentions heading to the dark side, possibly a nod to the famous "dark side of the moon" associated with Pink Floyd's album of the same name. Passing by the pearly gates could allude to the idea of faith and afterlife, with the singer questioning whether they will end up in heaven or "the other place." This is followed by a portrayal of urban life, where people are busy and searching for distractions. The mention of the "law of attraction" suggests a longing for purpose and control in a world that can be chaotic and unpredictable.


The final stanza is the most personal, with the singer addressing someone who has passed away. The singer reflects on how this person was once theirs alone but is now seen by "every man with eyes." The repetition of "you're not there" highlights the singer's sense of loss and perhaps their struggle to reconcile the idea of death. The final lines once again bring us back to the moon, with the repetition of "go to the moon" serving as a finale to the song's cyclical themes of aspiration and longing.
