Moondust
Jaymes Young feat. Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm building this house, on the moon
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
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 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

Overall Meaning

He is building a house on the moon, gazing at his lost love like a star from a place the world forgotten. Despite his love for this person, he feels there is nothing he can do but bury his love for them, using the brightness of the sun and the moondust to create the perfect burial ground.


The astronaut longs to hear his lost love's voice again, driving through their sunset breeze, but he knows he must continue to bury his love in the moondust. He is alone on the face of the moon, where nothing can breathe and it is colder than the darkest sea. However, he is doing this all for the person he loves, to give the world back to them.


The lyrics to "Moondust" are a heartbreaking tale of loss, love, and sacrifice. It's a story of someone who has been driven so far into the realm of their own broken heart, that they flee the earth to escape the pain they feel. However, in doing so, they are left with nothing but desolate emptiness, as they are forever separated from the one they love.

@lvdovica

I have to tell this to someone, I saved an edit with this song about a uear before the fall of Vine, I posted it other places trying to find what it was called, no luck. Well, seems like Shazam updated and could finally recognize it and I looked thru several remixes, I’m so happy I finally found the right one!!
