Moonlight
Iuly.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've been stuck between these same four walls
Swallow the pain, feelings fade away
Everything has become a painfully dull grey
When I broke free, you were standing in front of me
The moonlight shaping your face clearly
And beaming bright you squeezed my hand tight
You didn't want to leave me behind
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
A flash of fire emits from your hair
Sunny forests bloom in your eyes
I haven't felt this way in a terribly long time
Free to think, free to feel
The hue of the moonlight
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
The lyrics to Iuly.B's song Moonlight explore the theme of feeling trapped and suffocated in the same monotonous routine for years, until a chance encounter with someone changes everything. The singer has been stuck between the same four walls for years, and has been numbing their pain and emotions. Everything seems dull and grey until they break free and encounter the person that changes everything. The moonlight is a recurring motif in the song, as it symbolizes hope, renewal, and a new beginning. When the singer sees the person in the moonlight, everything becomes clear and they feel a burst of emotion that they haven't felt in a long time. The moonlight also guides them forward, away from the past that was holding them back.
The song's tone is wistful and nostalgic, with a dreamy quality that mirrors the transformative power of the moonlight. The use of natural imagery, such as Sunny forests blooming in the person's eyes, adds to the sense of renewal and transformation. The singer is no longer afraid of being stuck away from the person, and the person makes their heart strum, indicating a newfound sense of love and connection. The song ends on a hopeful and optimistic note, with the singer feeling free to think and feel and to move forward, no longer weighed down by the past.
