Goodnight Moon
Heyhihello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and everybody else is fast asleep in bed
and i can't seem to find the switch to turn the lights off
even though you need to fall asleep
Goodnight moon
I'll close my eyes, okay, alright and say
Goodnight to the shadows on the wall
singing goodnight to the moon
i think you're cute when you are dreaming
all about the city lights around
and when you wake up after daybreak
so will everyone who lives in town
they'll say, "did you see when Rocket Number Nine
took to the open skies late last night?"
they'll say, "it flew beyond the atmosphere and
took pictures of the brilliant northern lights!"
Goodnight moon
I'll close my eyes, okay, alright and say
Goodnight to the shadows on the wall
We're drifting through the empty streets with weightless feet
singing goodnight to the moon
Turn around, you can turn the car around girl
because there's something that's caught my eye
and I've been writing it down, girl
in case you ever said goodbye
You'll have to wait and see
when you open your eyes wide
how does you feel
after a night long car ride?
Goodnight, moon...
The lyrics to Heyhihello's song Goodnight Moon tell the story of two individuals who are awake in the middle of the night while everyone else is asleep. The first verse speaks of a woman who can't seem to fall asleep despite it being three in the morning. The man tells her goodnight and sings to the shadows on the wall while they drift through the empty streets with weightless feet. The song paints a picture of a peaceful, dreamlike state where the moon is the centerpiece.
The second verse describes how the man thinks the woman is cute when she's dreaming about the city lights around her. As they continue to drift through the empty streets, they reach a point where the woman falls asleep. The man writes down everything he observes in anticipation of the woman's departure, should it occur. The song's climax approaches as the man tells the woman to turn the car around because he spotted something he must show her. The listener is left with the unresolved tension of what it could be, whether it is significant or not.
The song is poetic in nature, with the lyrics full of imagery and metaphors. The song paints a picture of two people who are existing in their own world, separated from the rest of society. The moon serves as a beacon of light for them to follow and find peace away from their mundane lives.
