Crescent Moon
Mo Lowda the Humble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Girls Grew Up So Quick You'd Hardly Know To Tell
Their Faces From The Neighbors'
And The Dogs Escaped On That Hectic Christmas Morn'
The Snow Was Far Too Thick To Save Em

And I Creak The Floorboards Just To Feel Like Someone's Home
But You're Still Marrow In My Bones
That Last Look Upon Your Face Said It All
You Seeped Like Water Through My Stone

And I've Run Out Of Reasons To Feel Whole
I'm A Crescent Moon
Cause You Took A Part Of Me When You Went Away





How I Learned So Violently
Now I Burn So Silently

Overall Meaning

The song "Crescent Moon" by Mo Lowda the Humble tells a story of loss and pain. The first verse sets the scene of the passage of time and change, with the singer remarking on how quickly the girls have grown up and how the dogs have escaped on a snowy Christmas day. However, the second verse reveals that these observations are tinged with sadness, as the singer is haunted by a sense of loneliness and loss. He creaks the floorboards to feel like someone is home, but ultimately he feels empty and incomplete without the person who has gone. The chorus then brings this feeling to a climax, with the singer comparing himself to a crescent moon, only partially whole without the missing piece that was taken away when his loved one left.
