Luna
Honeydrop Lyrics

The song Luna by Honeydrop is a reflection on the concept of letting go and moving on from a former lover. The lyrics in the beginning suggest that the singer and their former lover are still visible to each other, but the singer slowly begins to realize that their happiness has dwindled in the presence of this person. The line "Ang akong kalipay wala ko kabantay" translates to "I didn't notice that my happiness was disappearing" in English. The use of the celestial object Luna, or the moon, as a metaphor implies the cyclical nature of relationships, just as the moon goes through phases, so do relationships.

The chorus "Bitoon nga naa sa akong kamot, Apan duna pa'y lain nga nangandoy, Bitoon naa na sakong kamot, Mibalik sa langit aron sa uban makab-ot" which translates to "A star in my hand, but there's still another dream, The star is now in the sky again so others can reach it" speaks to the idea of possessions, or in this case, desires. The reference to the star being in the sky again shows how it has been relinquished, and now others can attain it. It's a way of saying that moving on isn't just for yourself, but for the benefit of others as well.

The rest of the lyrics speak to the singer's desire for answers to their questions and a yearning to reconcile, but also acknowledging the need to move on. The line "Ayaw ko ignag gikapoy ka, Kay ako ray naningkamot magkaayo ta" translates to "Don't tell me you're tired, because I'm the one trying to make things right" depicts the main protagonist taking charge of the situation and trying to make everything right despite the lack of support from the counterpart. Overall, Luna portrays the inner turmoil and acceptance that comes with letting go and moving on from a loved one.
