The Moon Song
L'Orchestra Cinematique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lying on the moon
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up
In space we're here a million miles away

There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I'd keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away

We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day




Making sure that I'm
Okay and we're a million miles away

Overall Meaning

In L'Orchestra Cinematique's The Moon Song, the singer is expressing a sense of loneliness and isolation, but also finding comfort in the idea of being with their loved one. The opening lines, "I'm lying on the moon, My dear, I'll be there soon," set the tone for the dreamlike quality of the song. It's as if the singer is floating in space, detached from earthly concerns. The lines "It's a quiet starry place, time's we're swallowed up" evoke a sense of vastness and infinity. The singer emphasizes that they are "a million miles away," as if to reinforce their sense of distance from the world.


Yet amidst all this unknowable vastness, the singer finds stillness and comfort in the presence of their loved one. The second verse begins with "There's things I wish I knew, there's no thing I'd keep from you," suggesting a deep sense of trust and intimacy with their partner. The darkness and shininess of space is contrasted with the warmth and safety found "with you my dear." The final lines, "Your shadow follows me all day, making sure that I'm okay," show the singer's reliance on their partner for emotional support, even in the midst of an otherworldly setting. Through the use of poetic language and imaginative imagery, The Moon Song captures the sense of longing and connection that can exist even across great distances.
