IMAGINATION
Moonfall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to protect your eyes from burning
My spirit stayed in this graceful world
So I could keep watching it turning
It′s hard to confess that we're meaningless
But there′s meaning in that (Ooh)
Is it fine to be who we want to be?
I can no longer control my imagination
My imagination
For so long I fought and stayed on my own
To know what I'm made of
Is more than blood and bone
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And there is violence in losing time
So just this once, don't say you′re sorry
′Cause everyone fears what they don't know
They fear themselves
And all they can be
If you don′t yet have a reason to live
Live so you can find it
Let's create our fate
So we don′t become addicted to it
I can no longer control my imagination
My imagination
For so long I fought and stayed on my own
To know what I'm made of
Is more than blood and bone
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I can no longer control
I can no longer control
I can no longer control
My imagination, my imagination
I can no longer control my imagination
My imagination
For so long I fought and stayed on my own
To know what I′m made of
Is more than blood and bone
I gave my soul to eclipse the sun
Now I don't know if it's still burning
The lyrics of Moonfall's song Imagination convey a sense of surrender, the recognition that we cannot always control our thoughts, our dreams, our hopes, or our fears. The opening lines describe the singer's willingness to give up something as significant as their soul to protect the ones they love. This gesture shows a great deal of love; however, it is also a sign of letting go, of stepping back and allowing events to unfold without forcing or controlling them.
The refrain, where the singer confesses they can no longer control their imagination, highlights the struggle to come to terms with the unknown and the unpredictable. The lyrics suggest that it is not only natural to feel powerless at times, but it is right to embrace the uncertainty, to let go of the desire to control everything. It is through this process that we can discover who we are and what we want from life.
The final lines, "I gave my soul to eclipse the sun / Now I don't know if it's still burning," reiterate the themes of surrender and uncertainty. The singer has given everything they could, yet they still wonder if their efforts have been in vain. This line is a melancholic reminder that, despite how much we give, we cannot always know the outcome of our actions.
