Everyone Is Noah Everyone Is The Ark
Moonface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone has to build themselves up when heaven's cruel
And everyone is Noah, and everyone is the ark
Everyone has to gather souls around them to feel useful and loving and loved
And everyone is Noah, and everyone is the ark
Everyone ends up talking to the sky or looking the elephant in the eye
And Everyone is Noah, and everyone is the ark
Everyone will turn their hands in to the wood
And I'm really sorry for your loss
I can't imagine how that feels
Please build yourself up heaven's cruel
And everyone has found themselves at the end of their rope
Looking up at the boat saying I don't know
I don't know if I can call this home
I don't know if I can call this home
I don't know if I can call this home
I don't know if I can call this home
Moonface's song "Everyone Is Noah, Everyone Is the Ark" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of trying to navigate the tumultuous waters of life. The lyrics suggest that everyone is like Noah, and everyone is like the ark – they have to build themselves up to weather the stormy skies of existence. In a world that can be cruel and unforgiving, everyone is forced to gather souls around them to feel useful, loved, and loving. The lyrics suggest that we all end up talking to the sky or looking the elephant in the eye – a metaphor for facing our fears and accepting the realities of the world.
The song goes on to suggest that everyone will eventually turn their hands to the wood when they realize they really should. This is a metaphor for the fact that everyone has to take responsibility for their own lives and build themselves up, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. The chorus of the song is a refrain that repeats the lines "I don't know if I can call this home," suggesting that even when we do our best to build ourselves up and weather the storm, we still often feel lost and unsure of our place in the world.
Overall, "Everyone Is Noah, Everyone Is the Ark" is a powerful meditation on the human experience of trying to find meaning, purpose, and a sense of belonging in an often chaotic and unpredictable world.

Thanks to Pitchfork. This voice and piano part at the end are great. Looking forward to their album.

This is SPOT ON. It's nice for a musician to strip it back to the basics once in a while. It's been a while since the piano has sounded so alive and luscious!
ChoaticGood
Wonderful piano and a haunting vocal tone.

Just laid Paul Auster's book Moon Palace down after reading the last chapter. The ending was very sad. Then I open my computer and I find out that a new Moonface song is released. Suits the feeling perfectly. For this moment on, I believe every goddamn word Paul Auster has to say about chance!

dear Spencer, thanks for finally returning to your senses. How I wish you could make a new sunset rubdown album. this song -at least- is definitely more the spencer I love.
