To The Moon

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning Hell-unholy one
But now he's returned to prove them wrong
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell
And when he finds who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
This song is entitled "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne. At first glance, the lyrics seem to talk about a vengeful creature who returns from the grave to seek revenge on those who wronged him in the past. The creature is described as howling at the moon, living in a lunar spell, and spewing from the mouth of hell. It's easy to imagine a werewolf or a demonic figure as the subject of this song.
However, the deeper meaning behind these lyrics might be a little more complicated. It's possible that the creature in question is actually a representation of all the pain and anger that the singer has experienced throughout his life. The phrase "bark at the moon" could be interpreted as a metaphor for yelling into the void, for trying to make one's voice heard even when it feels like nobody is listening. The torment and the frustration that the singer feels are given form in the creature that he describes, and the act of howling at the moon becomes a way to release those emotions.
It's also worth noting that these lyrics are filled with religious and mythological imagery. The idea of being buried in a nameless grave and then rising again could be seen as a reference to the resurrection of Jesus, while the phrase "spewing from the mouth of hell" evokes the image of a demon. Ultimately, though, the meaning of these lyrics is open to interpretation, and listeners will likely find their own ways to connect with the emotions that they convey.
