Moonlight
KAWALA Lyrics

It's a long way home
The journey back to a place of comfort feels daunting and far away.

I'm not even counting the miles
The distance is not the only thing making the journey feel arduous.

All my fears
The anxieties and worries that weigh on the mind.

Like yesterday, are so far gone
Those fears have dissipated or been left behind through time or distance.

Fallen through the surface of the sun
The intense, burning pressure of those fears have become distant memories.

Now here I am
Despite the difficulties, the singer has persisted and arrived at a new place.

Blinded by the endless sand
The singer is overwhelmed by their new surroundings, which they cannot yet fully understand or see through.

Cause I cannot survive
The artist is unable to cope with the struggles of their past life and needed a change to move forward.

The distant blue of life
The possibility of a different, more fulfilling life feels very far away.

I knew I had to get away
The artist recognized the importance of leaving their past behind to find a better way forward.

And I was searching for the moonlight
The singer once sought a guiding light to help them through their struggles.

But I'm much better now
The artist has improved and grown stronger since they began their journey of change.

I'm not waiting for
The singer is taking an active role in finding their own path, rather than waiting for guidance.

Cause I'm hoping to find
The singer is optimistic and seeking something better along their journey.

What's on the other side
There is something worth striving for beyond their current struggles and limitations.

Across the borderline
The artist is crossing over into a new phase of their life.

Where emptiness resides
Despite the changes and progress, there is still a sense of loss or absence that may linger.

It's a long time now
The singer has come a long way since they first started their journey.

Since I gave up and left paradise
The singer chose to leave behind what was comfortable and familiar to pursue something new.

And all those dreams are memories
The past dreams and ambitions have either been left behind or transformed in some way.

They're so far gone
Those past dreams now feel very distant and removed.

The stars are lines
The stars in the night sky form a pattern or pathway that the artist is following.

They draw me up into the night
The stars inspire and guide the singer on their journey forward.

Sequin silver, polar white
The beauty and wonder of the night sky and stars are described in vivid detail.

My sacrifice is this divide
The singer has made sacrifices and endured difficulties to reach this point in their journey.

As deep as Heaven's appetite
The singer's struggles and sacrifices have been intense and difficult to bear, like the great hunger of the heavens.

Where emptiness
There is still a sense of longing or unfulfillment as the singer continues on their journey.

Moonlight
The moonlight symbolizes guidance or hope that the artist may have once relied on, but no longer needs as they have grown stronger and more self-sufficient.
