Moonlight
Grace VanderWaal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From morning to the night
The perfect poster child
That was once in my life
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she's great
But I can see through it all
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We, we're dancing in the moonlight
You were dancing in the moonlight
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight
Now she lost her way
And she forgets to smile
Never gets a break
From this life in denial
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she's great
But I can see through it all
And she's about to break, oh!
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, we're dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, we're dancing in the moonlight
You were dancing in the moonlight
And I was dancing in the moonlight
I, I, I, miss those me-mo-ries
We used to share
Just you and me
I remember last year when I told you
I would always stay here and never leave you
I told you the light in your eyes made it look like
We, we're dancing In the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We, we're dancing In the moonlight
The light from your eyes made it feel like
Dancing In the moonlight
Grace VanderWaal's song Moonlight tells the story of a former friend who was once the perfect poster child with a constant smile, but is now lost and going through life in denial. The friend is portrayed as a doll made of glass, with everyone around her thinking she's great, but Grace sees through it all and fears that she's about to break. The chorus recounts happier times when the two were together and dancing in the moonlight. Grace remembers the promise made by her friend to always stay and never leave, but now she has lost her way and forgets to smile.
The lyrics are both wistful and sad, with VanderWaal's signature emotional depth and unique perspective shining through. She captures the bittersweet nostalgia of a past friendship that has since faded but still leaves a lasting impression. The themes of disillusionment and disappointment are offset by the joyful memories of dancing under the moonlight, highlighting how the past can still hold a special place in our hearts.
Overall, Moonlight is a poignant and introspective take on the value of relationships and the pain that comes with their loss. It showcases VanderWaal's gift for writing lyrics that resonate with listeners on a deep and personal level.
Line by Line Meaning
She always has a smile
She wears a smile all day long
From morning to the night
Her smile is present all day long
The perfect poster child
The ideal representation of something, flawless appearance
That was once in my life
Someone I used to know
A doll made out of glass
Fragile like a doll, looks perfect but easily broken
All her friends think that she's great
Her friends believe she is wonderful
But I can see through it all
I can see beyond the act and facade
And she's about to break
She's on the verge of falling apart
Remember last year when you told me
Recalling a memory from the past
To always stay here and never leave me
The artist was given a promise to stay together
The light from your eyes made it feel like
The glow in someone's eyes that make a moment special
We were dancing in the moonlight
Sharing a moment of euphoria and happiness under the moonlight
That these will be lifelong stories
The moments shared will last a lifetime
You were dancing in the moonlight
This person was enjoying life to the fullest
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight
The singer was also living in the moment
Now she lost her way
She has become lost and off track
And she forgets to smile
She has become unhappy and has forgotten how to smile
Never gets a break
She is constantly under stress
From this life in denial
She is not facing her problems, instead ignoring them
I, I, I, miss those me-mo-ries
The artist is lamenting the loss of the good times from the past
We used to share
Sharing those moments together with someone
Just you and me
Referring to a special or intimate bond between two people
The light from your eyes made it feel like
The glow in someone's eyes that make a moment special
Dancing In the moonlight
Sharing a moment of euphoria and happiness under the moonlight

@@osheridan The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
