Moon
Kanye West Lyrics

I wanna go to the moon
The singer desires to leave their reality behind and reach a fanciful, exciting place which is the moon

Don't leave so soon
The singer is urging someone not to abandon them, to stay and share this journey to the moon

How could I get through?
The singer is asking for guidance: how can they cope with their reality and reach their dream?

Hmm, hmm, here we go strappin', we up
The artist is excited and ready to embark on their journey to the moon

Never forget all the memories
The artist is reminding themselves not to forget their past experiences and the lessons learned from them

Sittin', I sip out my cup
The singer is relaxing and taking a moment for themselves before setting off for the moon

Thinkin' I should be a better me
The singer reflects on themselves, identifying flaws, and wishing to improve in order to make the most of their journey

Truly I'm blessed from the start
The artist acknowledges the good things they have had in life from the beginning

So much to say in these melodies, oh
The artist has a lot to express and hopes their music will help convey their feelings and experiences

Stare at the sky, the moon singin' sweet
The artist looks up at the sky, observing the beauty of the moon

Oh my God, such a sweet moment
The singer expresses their joy and awe at the sight of the moon

Angels, they say I'm not ever weak, such a lonely moment
The artist believes that, although they are vulnerable during this moment, they are spiritually strong with the support of angels

Heaven knows I might never sleep, trouble in my soul
The singer is experiencing inner turmoil, and it may cause them insomnia or unrest

Hey, I've been prayin', life can be drainin', oh
The singer confesses to their struggles and their religious prayers for help

Hey, we were late, tryna keep haulin' on
The singer recognizes they have been delayed in reaching their dreams but persevering through it

I'm ashamed, hated what I will see
The artist feels guilty and dislikes what they may find upon self-reflection during their journey to the moon

And nobody knows, so I go
The artist is setting off for the moon alone and keeps their worries to themselves

Early afternoon, I wanna go to the moon (take you to the moon)
Reiterating the singer's desire to go to the moon and bring along someone dear to them

How could I get through? (Yeah)
Rhetorical question that is still replaying in the singer's mind: how can they reach the moon and fulfill their desire?

How can I get through? (Ooh)
Repetition of the previous line

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Vocalizations expressing the artist's emotional state of yearning and excitement

(How can I get)
Repetition of the same rhetorical question, hinting at the artist's persisting doubts and concerns
