FRONTEERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts spill out into the room, creates the tide
takes me out, breaks me down again
It's like everything you do, so defies
Seperates me into two and overrides
takes me out break me down again
She set my soul a light and I nearly died
It's once in a lonely lifetime, so take the reins of you and I
I find comfort in a full moon, like ecstasy
Get to you used to telling truths and lie to me
Take me out, break me down again
This fire in her eyes that she's trying to hide
she set my soul a light and I nearly died
It's once in a lonely lifetime
But then she flurries, that was a while when she cries
This fire in her eyes, that she's trying to hide
she set my soul a light and I nearly died
It's once in a lonely lifetime, so take the reins of you and I
The song "Full Moon" by the British indie rock band FRONTEERS speaks of finding solace and comfort in the light of the full moon. The lyrics illustrate the hypnotic power of the moon and its ability to evoke a sense of emotional release. The singer sees the moon as a calming presence while his thoughts overflow and flood the room, creating a tide that takes him out and breaks him down again. The moon's otherworldly influence is depicted as something that defies explanation and separates him into two, overriding his sense of equilibrium.
The second verse speaks to the transformative power of a romantic relationship. The fire in the eyes of the singer's lover is something that she is trying to hide, but it sets his soul alight and he nearly perishes as a result. This intense emotion is once in a lifetime and the singer urges the listener to take the reins of their relationship and not let it slip away.
Finally, the third verse speaks to the transient nature of love and relationships. The singer notes that even though the fire was once bright, there are times when she flurries and cries. However, the transformative power of the emotion is still there, waiting to be reignited.
Overall, the song "Full Moon" is an evocative portrayal of the intense, transformative power of emotion and love, and how the natural world can facilitate these intense experiences.
