Waltz
Mt. Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need something to distract me, the room I mis-keep
But after a while, all I think about is your smile
In my dreams you're right beside me, but 600 miles
Winter's only getting started, cold lonely nights
Each day ever darker and there's no end in sight
But take a look through the glass, this too shall pass
Two long years without you honey, so much to tell
Well spring is here were back together, no more farewells
How I've missed you, longed to kiss you, hold your hand, start our plans, be your man, all I can.
The lyrics of Mt. Moon's song "Waltz" depict a longing for someone who is physically distant but constantly present in the singer's thoughts and dreams. The opening lines express the singer's inability to sleep due to thoughts of this person. They yearn for a distraction to ease their restlessness, but ultimately, all they can think about is the subject's smile, even though they are separated by a considerable distance of 600 miles. This speaks to the intensity of the singer's feelings, as their longing persists even in their dreams.
The following lines introduce the theme of winter and the bleakness that accompanies it. The nights become colder and lonelier, and each passing day feels darker and endless. However, the singer encourages the listener to look beyond the immediate gloom through the metaphor of a glass. They imply that this difficult period will eventually come to an end, leading to a hopeful outcome where the subject will fall into their arms, and they can share the joy of a winter waltz.
