So far, they have released eleven full albums: Under The Pipal Tree, One Step More And You Die, Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined, You Are There, Hymn To The Immortal Wind, For my parents , the double album Rays of Darkness/The Last Dawn, Requiem for Hell, Nowhere Now Here and Pilgrimage of the Soul.

Mono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The feeling
The story
The movie
The girl that
I'll marry
Reminds me
I should be
Without air still breathing
The feeling
The movie
Increasing
The dosage
The way that
You're walking
Reminds me
Of Moses
What am I thinking?
The lyrics of Mono's song, The Moment, depict a person who is experiencing a mixture of nostalgic and romantic feelings. The singer is reminded of something that they should be doing, presumably related to the realization of their true emotions toward the person they're in love with. The line "Without air still breathing" could symbolize that even without explicitly expressing their love, they continue to exist in the presence of the love interest.
The line "The feeling, the story, the movie" could imply that the singer is experiencing different emotions just like in a movie. There may be a clear story and a range of feelings. In the next couple of lines, the lyrics suggest that the singer is so struck by the person's presence that they're almost taking them like a dose, wanting more with every step they take. The reference to Moses could symbolize the person's power over them, and them being unable to move forward without them.
Overall, The Moment is a song about being struck by someone's presence, and being unable to move forward in life without acknowledging that feeling. The lyrics play on the physical and emotional reactions one can have when in love, making the song universally relatable to anyone who's experienced this sensation.
