Hermanas Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my destiny was written
by the zombie wolf man
later when I grew up
I used to bathe dressed
in the sea
waiting for the day
when I would be free
broken up in little bits
couldn't put myself together
now I don't fit.
And my empty head was carried
by my loneliness
I'm a moonchild, don't you understand me?
I'm a moonchild, I'm a moonchild
I'm a child of the moon
don't try to make it better.
I scape from dreams
I keep away from dreams I said
ïpecially when they're drilling a hole
in my head.
I saw a comet once
and I didn't have to pay
I tried the taste of love
but he couldn't make me stay
I'm looking through your skin
and I can't tell what you're up to
And my empty head was carried
by my loneliness
I'm a moonchild, don't you understand me?
Drowing deeper than deep
among the little fishes
in the big bad sea
The lyrics to Hermanas Sister's song "Moonchild" are a contemplative reflection on the singer's sense of otherness and disconnection from the world around them. The opening lines suggest a predetermined destiny, "written by the zombie wolf man," which sets the tone for a life lived outside of societal norms. The singer's unconventional behavior, such as "bathing dressed in the sea," reflects a longing for freedom and escape from the constraints of the world. However, this freedom comes at a cost, as the singer has fallen "from a tree once, broken up in little bits" and cannot quite put themselves back together.
The chorus declares the central theme of the song: "I'm a moonchild, I'm a child of the moon." The metaphorical language of the moon child suggests an inherent strangeness or unearthliness, which the singer affirms by insisting that no one try to make it better. The singer is disinterested in conforming to societal norms and instead finds solace in their dreams, even while acknowledging the possibility of madness: "I keep away from dreams I said, especially when they're drilling a hole in my head." The singer has also tasted love but could not be convinced to stay, perhaps indicating a fear of being tied down or a desire to remain free and unbound.
The final lines of the song are unmoored and poetic, describing the singer as "drowning deeper than deep among the little fishes in the big bad sea." This image heightens the sense of disconnectedness and loneliness, but also suggests a sense of acceptance and surrender to one's inherent nature.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was born, my destiny was written by the zombie wolf man
The course of my life was predetermined by something dark and ominous
Later when I grew up, I used to bath dressed in the sea
As I matured, I found comfort and escape in the ocean, even if it meant not fully undressing
Waiting for the day when I would be free
Anticipating a future where I am not held back or confined
I fell from a tree once, broken up in little bits, couldn't put myself together, now I don't fit
A past accident or experience shattered me internally to the point where I feel like I no longer belong
And my empty head was carried by my loneliness
My feelings of isolation and solitude weighed heavily on my mind
I'm a moonchild, don't you understand me?
I am different from others and I wish they could comprehend that
I'm a moonchild, I'm a moonchild, I'm a child of the moon, don't try to make it better
I am who I am and I don't want anyone trying to change or 'fix' me
I escape from dreams, I keep away from dreams I said, especially when they're drilling a hole in my head
My subconscious thoughts and desires often lead to anxiety and discomfort, especially when they feel invasive
I saw a comet once and I didn't have to pay, I tried the taste of love but he couldn't make me stay
I've experienced moments of beauty and affection, but they were fleeting and ultimately not enough to keep me invested
I'm looking through your skin and I can't tell what you're up to
It's hard for me to read or understand others, even when I try
Drowning deeper than deep among the little fishes in the big bad sea
Feeling overwhelmed and lost in a world that seems vast and intimidating
