Full moon
Herbert Grönemeyer Lyrics

Full moon, I'm drunk as a skunk
I am completely intoxicated and deeply infatuated with her

So mad about her, you can see the depths to which I've sunk
My love for her is so strong that I have lost all sense of reason and self-control

Can't stand the days, at night I call her name
I am restless during the day and find solace only at night while whispering her name

Prowl around the neighborhood, the hunter captured by the game
I am aggressively pursuing her love like a hunter stalking his prey, but in reality, I am the one who is entrapped by the pursuit

I've been trying to steal her heart for so long
I have been making considerable efforts to win over her heart for a significant amount of time

She's stubborn but so am I
She is reluctant to fall for me, but I am also determined to win her over

I want her more as each and every day goes by
My desire for her grows even stronger with the passage of each day

Be my ally, conquer her pride
Join forces with me to break down her defenses and win her over

We two together could besiege her heart from every side
If we work together, we can employ every possible means to conquer her heart

Be my friend, don't let her slip through my hands
Assist me in my pursuit of her so that I do not lose her forever

Cast your spell upon her, I'll stalk through her dreams
Use your magic to bewitch her and I'll invade her dreams

So I can find her there defenseless, surrendering her love to me
In her dreams, I will find her without her barriers and surrendering to her love for me

And if you do this for me, oh what delight
If you help me in this endeavor, I will be overjoyed

I'll turn into a werewolf then and howl to you throughout the night
I will howl with joy like a werewolf transformed by your help

Full moon, shine down your light on me
The full moon represents hope and I am calling upon it to shine light on my path

Full moon, make me her lunacy
I want her to become obsessed with me like one who has lost all reason under the influence of the full moon

You know she doesn't want me but you can turn the tide
I am aware that she does not reciprocate my feelings, but I am asking the full moon to change her mind

I can't go on without her so quickly, make her mine
I am unable to continue living without her and therefore requesting the full moon to make her mine

Full moon, hear my lonely cry
I am calling upon the full moon to hear my plea and alleviate my loneliness

You're so pale, I'm deathly white
The contrast between the full moon's pale light and my own pallor symbolize my desperation

If nothing happens soon I don't think I can last the night
If there is no sign of hope soon, I fear that I will not survive through the night

From up in heaven you stare down on us serene
The full moon's position in the sky represents a peaceful and serene state from which it can observe us

I'm in desperation, and I'm begging you to rescue me
I am in an intense state of desperation and pleading for the full moon's aid

Do something now, tomorrow will be too late
I am urging the full moon to act now because tomorrow presents the possibility of losing her forever

My last hope's in your power, listen to my plea
My last hope lies with the full moon, and I am asking it to listen to my request

And help me now to win her heart or it'll be the end of me
I am asking the full moon to assist me immediately in winning her love; otherwise, I fear that it will lead to my demise

I'm drowning in the tears that all true lovers shed
I am overwhelmed by the tears that true lovers shed in despair

Don't leave me in this limbo, moon
I am asking the full moon to not leave me in a state of uncertainty or suspense

Don't leave me in this loneliness
I fear being alone without her, and I am requesting the full moon to prevent that from happening

Come and make her want me the man of her dreams
I am asking the full moon to make her desire me as the man of her dreams

So I can find her there defenseless surrendering her love to me
If she surrenders to her love for me, I will find her without defenses

And if you do this for me - oh what delight
If the full moon helps me in this regard, I will be overflowing with joy

I'll turn into a werewolf then and howl to you throughout the night
I will howl with delight like a werewolf transformed by the full moon's assistance

Full moon
Throughout the song, the full moon is symbolized as a source of hope and potential to alter the course of events
