Moondust
Jaymes Young (Ianborg & Bronze Whale Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a lost, astronaut
Lookin' at you, like a star
From a place, the world forgot
And there's nothing, that I can do
Except bury my love for you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love, in the moondust
Nothing can breath, in the space
Colder than, the darkest sea
I have dreams about the days, driving through your sunset breeze
But the first thing, that I will do
Is bury my love for you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love, in the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love, in the moondust
I'm a cast away, and men reap what they sow
And I say what I know, to be true
Yeah I'm living far away, on the face of the moon
I've buried my love to give the world to you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love, in the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love, in the moondust
The song Moondust by Jaymes Young (Ianborg & Bronze Whale Remix) tell the story of a person who is building a house on the moon, feeling like a lost astronaut, looking down at the world and thinking about the person he/she loves. It's a melancholic love song, as the singer has to bury their love for someone, and choose to live far away, on the face of the moon. The lyrics paint a picture of a desolate and cold world, where nothing can breathe, and the only solace is the brightness of the sun that gives just enough to bury the love in the moondust.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes the singer's choice to bury the love in the moondust, and even though they long to hear their loved one's voice, they still make this difficult choice. The verses talk about the dreams of driving through the sunset breeze, and the fact that the first thing the singer will do is bury their love. The bridge ties it all together, stating that the person is a castaway who says what they know to be true, wishing to give the world to their loved one.
Overall, the song is a poignant expression of love, loss, and longing. It's about finding solace in the moon, and choosing to bury love to provide the world with something better.

I'm building this house, on the moon,
like a lost astronaut.
Looking at you, like a star,
from a place, the world forgot.
And there's nothing that I can do,
except bury my love for you.
The brightness of the sun,
will give me just enough,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
I long to hear your voice,
but still I make the choice,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
Nothing can breathe, in the space,
colder than the darkest sea.
I have dreams, about the day,
driving through, your sunset breeze.
But the first thing that I will do,
is bury my love for you.
The brightness of the sun,
will give me just enough,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
I long to hear your voice,
but still I make the choice,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
I'm a cast-away, and men reap what they saw,
and I say what I know to be true.
Yea I'm living far away, on the face of the moon.
I've buried my love, to give the world to you.
The brightness of the sun,
will give me just enough,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
I long to hear your voice,
but still I make the choice,
to bury my love, in the moondust.
I've buried my love,
in the moondust.

Lyrics for anyone who wants to sing along :)
I'm building this house, on the moon
Like a lost, astronaut
Looking at you, like a star
From the place, the world forgot
And there's nothing, that I can do
Except bury my love for you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
Nothing can breathe, in the space
Colder than, the darkest sea
I have dreams about the days
Driving through your sunset breeze
But the first thing that I will do
Is bury my love for you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
I'm a castaway, and men reap what they sow
And I say what I know, to be true
Yeah, I'm living far away, on the face of the moon
I've buried my love to give the world to you
The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love (to bury my love)
In the Moondust
I buried my love
In the Moondust
