Supermoon
Jacob Wylde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not every day it comes in waves
Sadness, longing and regret
But let the water wash me clean again

Days in the jacaranda tree
Times down Hardy road with the dog
And how we properly cried that day she died
Oh I get sentimental
About everything

It's not every day I meet someone like my mother
Hope I never do you wrong
In some ways I know I'm really just like my father
And I'm sorry when I'm wrong

Three houses, one year
Twelve months I know I won't forget
But that's life

That night the supermoon was shining
I sat amongst the roses
And I thought about the end and love and life and if it's worth it at all

I get sentimental
About every song I write
And this will be just another one
A Bandcamp archive with maybe just one hundred plays
But I don't mind anymore

Do you think that maybe there'll be another?

Oh I don't really care right now
'Cause there's no other, no other, there's no other warmth that I require right now

But it's all, all just senseless
All, all just a dream
I've got all, all that I'd ever need
All that you'd ever need

I'm not in control I'm just one of billions of humans
Just taking time to, taking time
To try to make some sense of everything





I'm never gonna work it out on my own

It's not every day it comes in waves
Sadness, longing, and regret visit me at irregular intervals


But let the water wash me clean again

Days in the jacaranda tree
I have fond memories of spending time in the jacaranda tree

Oh I get sentimental
I tend to become emotional and reminiscent easily


About everything
My emotions extend to anything and everything that I've experienced, no matter how small

Meeting a person as special and important as my mother is rare


Hope I never do you wrong
I hope to never hurt you or let you down


In some ways I know I'm really just like my father
I recognize that I share some traits and characteristics with my father


And I'm sorry when I'm wrong
I apologize when I make mistakes


Three houses, one year
In the span of one year, I lived in three different houses


Twelve months I know I won't forget
I will always remember the past year, no matter how much time passes


But that's life
Such changes and experiences are simply a part of life


That night the supermoon was shining
I recall a specific evening when the supermoon was visible


I sat amongst the roses
I found myself in the midst of a garden of roses


And I thought about the end and love and life and if it's worth it at all
I pondered the meaning and value of love and life, and whether or not they are worth the inevitable end

This song will be no different than any other I have created


A Bandcamp archive with maybe just one hundred plays

But I don't mind anymore
I no longer concern myself with the number of plays or popularity of my music


Do you think that maybe there'll be another?
I wonder if there will be another special person in my life


Oh I don't really care right now
I am content with my life as it is currently


'Cause there's no other, no other, there's no other warmth that I require right now
I require no other warmth or love in my life at this moment


But it's all, all just senseless
I struggle to find meaning and purpose in this world


All, all just a dream
Life seems almost unreal or dreamlike to me


I've got all, all that I'd ever need
Despite my struggles and uncertainties, I have everything I need to be content


All that you'd ever need
And likewise, you have all that you need


I'm not in control I'm just one of billions of humans
I realize that I have no ultimate control of the direction of my life, and am just one among many in the world


Just taking time to, taking time
I am simply taking the time I need to reflect on my experiences and feelings


To try to make some sense of everything
I am attempting to make sense and find meaning in my life experiences


I'm never gonna work it out on my own
I recognize that I cannot solve all of life's mysteries or problems by myself, and may require help from others
