In & Out
Moon King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking bout you every day
It's you I'm dreaming of
You know I've flown the world around
Searching from above
At night I lie awake
But I still can't find you now
Won't forget it, I've got to celebrate and multiply
Tears of joy
You're stringing me along
Near & far, you're on my mind
I just can't give you up
The sun won't shine when you're away
Candles in the dark
Near & far, you're on my mind
I just can't give you up
The sun won't shine when you're away
Candles in the dark
One more try, off my mind
Tryin to fake it, oh such a heavy weight
I lost my place, waste of time
I'll never find you now
I'm fallin in & out of love
Thinking bout you every day
It's you I'm dreaming of
You know I've flown the world around
Searching from above
At night I lie awake
But I still can't find you now
It's all gone bad, what I planned
Got to give it up now, just simple thinking
Multiply, tears of joy
You're stringing me along
Near & far, you're on my mind
I just can't give you up
The sun won't shine when you're away
Candles in the dark
Near & far, you're on my mind
I just can't give you up
The sun won't shine when you're away
Candles in the dark
"In & Out" by Moon King is a song about the struggles of being in love with someone who is not fully available. The song expresses the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of falling in and out of love, constantly thinking about someone and dreaming of them, but never being able to find them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has travelled the world trying to find the object of their affection, but to no avail. The repetition of the phrase "near and far, you're on my mind" emphasizes the overwhelming presence of this person in the singer's thoughts.
The chorus of the song talks about the void that is left when the person is away. The imagery of "candles in the dark" suggests a sense of loneliness and longing. The singer cries "tears of joy" and is "strung along" by this person, indicating that there are some moments of happiness, but also a feeling of being led on.
The bridge of the song talks about the singer finally coming to terms with the situation and deciding to "give it up" and "multiply" their joy by celebrating life in their own way, despite not having this person in their life. The song ends on a sombre note with the singer acknowledging that they have lost their chance with this person and accepting that they will never find them.
Overall, "In & Out" is a sad but relatable song about unrequited love, dealing with the constant tug of war between hope and despair, and eventually accepting reality.
