Moon Tide Gallery Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vague explanations
I wish that I could trace this feeling with my fingertips
Right against your lips
Time spiralling
Poured in front of bleak discern

You say, you say
Never high enough, I ask for this love

I ask for this
I don′t cry enough, I'm so out of touch
I ask for this, love

Dreaming of my hometown
The way I saw it through my young life
Apprehending life
It changes overnight
Moments where I realize that I can′t spend my life inside

You say, you say
Never high enough, I ask for this love
I ask for this
I don't cry enough, I'm so out of touch
I ask for this, love
(I ask for this, love)

The party is over now
So what am I to do? To do
I need you
I need you, need you

My sweet dreams of you, of you
My sweet dreams of you, of you

My sweet dreams of you, of you
My sweet dreams of you, of you

Overall Meaning

In the song Disco by Moon Tide Gallery, the lyrics suggest a longing to hold on to fleeting moments and emotions that are hard to grasp. The lines "I wish that I could trace this feeling with my fingertips, right against your lips" indicate the desire to hold on to a specific feeling and moment in time. The lyrics also suggest a feeling of being out of touch with one's emotions - not crying enough and asking for love. This theme is further explored in the lines "Apprehending life, It changes overnight, Moments where I realize that I can′t spend my life inside." The singer seems to be coming to terms with the impermanence of emotions and moments, and the need to actively engage with life in order to not remain stagnant.

The chorus repeats the lines "Never high enough, I ask for this love, I don't cry enough, I'm so out of touch, I ask for this, love," which could suggest a cyclical nature to the singer's emotions and desires. Despite the desire for love and intense emotions, there may be a fear of experiencing them fully, hence the need to ask for it. The song ends with the lines "The party is over now, So what am I to do? To do, I need you, I need you, need you, My sweet dreams of you," which could suggest a feeling of being lost or directionless, but also a need for someone or something to ground them.
