Moon
Kamau (of the Hue-Men) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If your soul where a sea I would dive in
But I need to swim
My whole other ocean
Oh and you carry all of those sorrows alone
‘Cause you don’t want someone else to frown
But you don’t
Oh and you Are the sun
Oh you Are the sun
And I am the moon I’m the moon yeah
I am the moon I’m the moon
Oh and you’re like a hit on a pipe
You get me high but not like
The way that I was all the time
All the time
Oh and when I’m alone it’s alright but let’s say
Somehow it feels like a night without day Oh the moon
Is just dark without you
Oh and you
(Oh and you)
Are the sun
(Are the sun)
Oh you
(Oh and you)
Are the sun
(Are the sun)
Oh and you
(Oh and you)
Are the sun
(Are the sun)
And I am the moon
I’m the moon yeah
I’m the moon
I’m the moon
I’m the moon
The song Moon by Kamau (of the Hue-Men) is a lovely ode to someone the singer has lost. The lyrics are pretty straightforward as the singer talks to the blue moon, asking it to fulfill his wishes. The beginning of the song sees the singer standing alone with the blue moon as his only company. He beseeches the moon to let him dream about his love, and with conviction, he prays to it. The singer sounds desperate to communicate with the moon, as he repeatedly keeps asking it if it can hear him. He talks to the moon, asking it to grant him his dreams about his love.
The chorus of the song carries the same thought, and the singer repeats the same lines "Let my dreams to my love I pray to you." Finally, the song ends with the singer stating that he misses his love and pleads with the moon to bring her back to him.
The song Moon by Kamau (of the Hue-Men) is beautiful and ache-inducing. Through the lyrics of the song, we can gather that the singer is trying to cope with a loss and longs to be reunited with his love. He's helpless and has nowhere else to turn to to get solace, except the blue moon.

Sitting at the feast
Where the best is
Hundred miles from where the rest is
Some of them hungry and restless
Cause they had to run from the resting
Wasn't trying to get arrested or rest
Eternally down where the rest left
A lot of us want to get down
Never left nest
Lest feel lesser than last
Thats the best threat
That'll make a brotha breathless
Make a gold necklace neckless
That'll leave a checklist checkless
Put the fear of God in your chest-ases
Where the best is
They're addressing it
Investigate
Invested in
No vest in it
With the chest exposed
Till the end
Because the rest is gold
I need somebody

Which one's gonna end up in a coat check
Who's got the code to
Decode all the cold in the cell
