Moon
Killing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where phantoms pass me by what secrets do they hold?
Flesh torn upon the wheels of human frailty
Part of me was fascinated by the cruelty
Running from the madness running from this mirror of how i feel
A dream is just a shadow of something that i found real
Black moon bad dreams, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
In the temples i am kneeling fearing god
In the cinemas they are baying for some blood
Horror began to dawn as fear played its part
The fear that cancels out the love that's in our heart
All the hurt we felt repeated down the line
The pain inflicted was the pain that we designed
I try escaping from the person that i am
Here is the endless cycle break it if you can
Black moon bad dreams, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
The lyrics to Killing Joke's song Black Moon describe the struggle of the singer to escape from the person that they are, the person that is haunted by bad dreams and embodies another side of them. The singer is in a vortex, a state of confusion or disorientation, where they confront their true self. They witness phantoms passing by, and wonder what secrets they hold. There is a sense of fascination with the cruelty of human frailty, as the singer's flesh is torn upon the wheels of life. The dream is seen as just a shadow of something real, something that is both elusive and disturbing.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about their experiences in temples and cinemas. The singer is kneeling, fearing god, while the cinema audience is baying for blood. The whole experience is one of horror, as fear plays its part and cancels out the love that is in our heart. The hurt felt is repeated down the line, as the pain that is inflicted is the pain that we designed. The singer tries to escape from the person that they are, and the endless cycle of pain and suffering.
Overall, the song Black Moon is a powerful meditation on the human condition. The lyrics are introspective and intense, exploring the dark side of the self and the world around us. The singer struggles to make sense of the suffering and pain they see around them, and longs for an escape from the cycle of violence and horror.

Here in this vortex my true self begins to show
In this chaotic state, I am revealing my true nature
Where phantoms pass me by what secrets do they hold?
As ghosts float past me, I wonder what hidden knowledge they possess
Flesh torn upon the wheels of human frailty
Our physical bodies are damaged by our own inherent weakness
Part of me was fascinated by the cruelty
Despite being horrified, I find myself drawn to the brutality
Running from the madness running from this mirror of how i feel
Trying to escape the insanity of my own reflection
A dream is just a shadow of something that i found real
A dream is merely a faint reflection of something that once felt true
In the temples i am kneeling fearing god
I am in a place of worship, cowering in fear of a deity
In the cinemas they are baying for some blood
In a place of entertainment, the crowd demands violence and gore
Horror began to dawn as fear played its part
I am starting to realize the horror of the situation as fear takes hold
The fear that cancels out the love that's in our heart
Fear has the power to overshadow the love in our hearts
All the hurt we felt repeated down the line
The pain we inflict on others is often a result of our own past hurts
The pain inflicted was the pain that we designed
We are responsible for the pain we cause ourselves and others
I try escaping from the person that i am
I am attempting to run away from my own identity
Here is the endless cycle break it if you can
This vicious cycle is never-ending, but I must try to break free
Black moon bad dreams, another side of me
The dark moon represents my unsettling dreams and hidden facets of my personality
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
The black moon also represents my troubled sleep and inner complexities
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
The black moon represents yet another aspect of my internal conflicts and struggles
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
The black moon symbolizes another hidden layer of my being and psyche
Black moon bad sleep, another side of me
The black moon represents one more dimension of the darkness within me

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
