Even the brightest, most upbeat Luna Shadows song carries a hint of romantic melancholy. She describes her artistic ambitions as a lifelong dare that, “sounded pretty fun” and brought order to the emotional chaos of everyday life. The end product, made in garages and bedrooms under the palm trees of Echo Park, sounds a bit like Ellie Goulding took Lana del Rey to the beach.

Luna Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you keeping me in the dark?
Timeless, you think you're timeless
A verified work of art
Well, it's silent
Bet you're nervous now
'Cause I get violent
When you drown me out
Like the war is over
Don't say you've had enough
Fight for a better love
Wanna make it brighter
Like there was no fire
Light my hysteria
Burn through millennia
What did I miss, I miss?
It's a little bit impolite
How you keep quiet, quiet
Thinkin' it's dignified (Fine)
Well, it's silent
Bet you're nervous now
'Cause I get violent
When you drown me out
(Drown, drown me out)
Wanna hold me closer
Like the war is over
Don't say you've had enough
Fight for a better love
Wanna make it brighter
Like there was no fire
Light my hysteria
Burn through millennia
Nothing makes it lighter
You never take the pressure off me
Nothing makes it lighter
Burn through millennia
Nothing makes it lighter
You never take the pressure off me
Nothing makes it lighter
Burn through millennia
What did I miss, I miss?
(Are you keeping me in the dark?)
Are you keeping me in the dark?
(Fine)
Wanna hold me closer
Like the war is over
Don't say you've had enough
Fight for a better love
Wanna make it brighter
Like there was no fire
Light my hysteria
Burn through millennia
Nothing makes it lighter
You never take the pressure off me
Nothing makes it lighter
Burn through millennia
Nothing makes it lighter
You never take the pressure off me
Nothing makes it lighter
Burn through millennia
In Luna Shadows's song "millennia," the lyrics convey a sense of longing, frustration, and a desire for connection. The singer seems to be questioning what they may have missed in a relationship, asking if they are being kept in the dark about something important. The mention of feeling timeless and like a verified work of art implies a sense of self-worth and value, yet there is an underlying tone of insecurity and uncertainty.
The repeated theme of silence suggests a lack of communication or understanding between the singer and the other person. The singer expresses feeling nervous and even violent when they feel ignored or drowned out by the other party, indicating a deep-seated emotional turbulence and a need to be heard and understood.
The desire to hold closer and fight for a better love indicates a willingness to work through difficulties and challenges in the relationship. The references to making things brighter and burning through millennia suggest a desire to break through barriers and overcome obstacles, even if it means facing the intensity of emotions and difficulties head-on.
The recurring refrain of "Nothing makes it lighter, you never take the pressure off me" speaks to a sense of burden and feeling weighed down by the lack of resolution or clarity in the relationship. The repeated plea to burn through millennia may signify a desire to transcend time and space to find a solution or resolution to the underlying issues at hand. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of emotional turmoil, longing for connection, and a plea for deeper understanding and communication within a relationship.

Timeless.Yes.Timeless.
Closer?No.No.No.
Never!
Both man and woman are caught in the middle of an interests war that puts more pressure on women,making them so demanding.Human pairs incompatibility has great reasons.Any1 needs to fight against self in order to barely remove it and whoever tries will learn the law that love is.Love can also kill in more ways and directions than two.
Hysteria won't bring any satisfactory help,unfortunately.Maybe being aware of given functionality will,to a certain range.There's always a simple solution to this conflict,but is the hardest to accept:Give in to love!
Nicely presented conflict of human dualities in the lyrics.I think you've missed few things that you can't grasp right now, but later i hope you will .We can comment till the root of evil and beyond so...let's move on.
Great song,Shadows!Better not be among last ones.Your style seems to be reshaping and i'm not used to change.
Nice screaming voice,cut short by grittiness,Lunatiko!I like it so that i want to hear you scream in my ears,cause is rare for an usually calm person to scream.
As a joke:Keep screaming till the walls fall and i'll be able to come to one of your live performances. ;p
