Stars and the Moon
Fair Warning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'll run to you when this world made me all too blue
When the pain just gets too much
You keep me save and warm, give me shelter from the storm
When I need a tender touch

Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive
You talk to the stars an the moon
Smile at me, shine 'till my dark night is through
Your smile – can take away all my fears
When you're by my side gone is the pain and the tears

The one who can't decide caught in many doubts and pride
Is a man who looks like me
You know I have to try and even if you don't know why
You're the only one to see

Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive

You talk to the stars an the moon
Smile at me, shine 'till my dark night is through
Your smile – can take away all my fears
When you're by my side gone is the pain and the tears





Crying on your shoulder I made it out alive
You're the one to catch me, helped me to survive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stars and the Moon" by Fair Warning describe the comforting presence of a loved one during tough times. The singer acknowledges the support and care received from this person, who serves as a beacon of light in the darkness. The imagery of talking to the stars and the moon implies a deep connection with nature and the universe, suggesting that this relationship goes beyond the physical realm. The chorus reinforces this idea, as the smile of the loved one is compared to the shining of the celestial bodies, able to dispel all fears and pain.


The lyrics also address the vulnerability of the singer, who admits to being caught in doubt and pride. Nonetheless, the loved one's presence gives strength and motivation to try harder. It is unclear who this person is or the nature of their relationship, as the lyrics are ambiguous enough to leave it to the listener's interpretation. What is clear, however, is that the singer trusts and depends on this person, and the feeling of safety and comfort they provide is crucial in making it through hard times.

当時、23歳の自衛官。
江田島の術科学校でアルバムを買い。
一曲目の、この曲に打ちのめされ。
泣けて泣けて仕方無く。
この曲のおかげで、全てを乗り切れて。
この曲のおかげで、全てを乗り越えて。

今でも、聴くとあの頃に戻れます。

確か江田島の学校の近くにCD屋さんがありましたね

営内にあったんです。
今はどうかは知りませんが、当時出来たばかりの施設…確か2階にジャグジー風呂があって。
その1階にCD売場があって。

私は呉市の商店街の地下?にあったCD屋がメタル色が強くて好きでした

アタシの時は商店街の地上にありましたねぇ。
あと、真ん中ら辺にあった商業施設の3階だか4階だかにも、いつもニコニコしてるおじさんがいた中古CD屋さんがあって。

その商店街にあったバーのバーテンさんが、メタルマニアで話が弾みました。

そうでしたか
そっちにいた頃が懐かしいです
呉市の商店街のCD屋さんで発掘?したメタルはたくさんあります
