Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢は夜降る 天使の髪の毛
ゆれる
絹ずれの背中で 空にハニー・ムーン
胸はふるえる 天馬のたてがみ
ゆれる
抜き足 差し足 近づく十五夜
月に帰るのは まだ早すぎる
The lyrics to Mac DeMarco's song Honey Moon are in Japanese and can be roughly translated as follows:
"My heart sinks with the setting sun, there's a honey moon in the sky. Dreams fall at night, hair of an angel sways. Shaking.
On the silk-scraped back, there's a honey moon in the sky. My heart trembles, a pegasus' mane sways. Shaking.
Shall we try singing a mysterious love song? Tiptoeing and sneaking, the fifteenth night approaches. It's still too early to return to the moon."
The lyrics are full of imagery and symbolism. The "honey moon" in the sky could be a reference to a full moon or a romantic getaway, suggesting the singer is experiencing a period of intense love or longing. The reference to an angel's hair suggests something ethereal or otherworldly. The mention of a pegasus, a mythical winged horse, further adds to this otherworldly atmosphere. The last two lines of the song suggest that the singer is not yet ready to fully embrace this love and would rather bide their time.
Overall, the lyrics paint a dreamy, romantic picture of a love that is both fleeting and mysterious.
