Moon
Nina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

how could you do this to me?
Mid january that's when you told me
You'd never let me go
Now I'm in my bed alone
And everything has changed
My brain starts to hurt
And my heart even worse
Things will never feel the same
And now who is left to blame
I'd try change it if I could
But change is strange until is good
Lalalalalalalalala
Hey
With you there always is catch
Tell myself don't get attached
Cause me and you never last
Help before I start talk too fast
And tell me how was I to know
I share my world to be let go
But now I'm better on my own
Don't leave a message at the tone
How could my heart deny
I thought I was yours so
I kept giving more
But you weren't the right guy
I still miss you time to time
And so I'll say goodbye
The sun starts to set
And I start to regret
When I'm lonely in the night




Me and my thoughts
The moon and I

Overall Meaning

The song 'Blue Moon' by Nina Simone is a poignant and introspective romantic ballad that delves into the vulnerability and longing of a person waiting for true love. The song begins with the singer standing alone under a blue moon, without a dream or a love to call her own. However, the moon seems to understand her plight and knows why she's there, waiting and hoping for someone to love. As the singer whispers a prayer for someone to care for, suddenly the one she has been waiting for appears before her. She holds onto the person, knowing that she'll never let go of them.


The song is a beautiful ode to love and how it can turn a person's life completely around. The striking imagery of the blue moon, a symbol of rare occurrences, adds to the song's mood, that is bittersweet yet hopeful. The lyrics capture the yearning and restlessness of someone who is searching for companionship and the joy of finally discovering it. The song highlights how love can bring about a deep sense of belonging and purpose in one's life, completing the existence of one who was once alone in the world.

Hey.



Hey, you.



Yes, you.



You're the one reading this, aren't you?



Well, let me tell you something.



You need to know.



DON'T SCROLL, please..



I know, I know I'm a stranger here on the internet.



But, I guarantee you, you need to hear this.



Are you in a dark place?



You aren't alone.



We all were there, y'know.



Feeling Suicidal?



Please don't.



I think you matter.



Even if I don't know you, I still think you matter.



You are the best stranger I've met.



So, do something for me real quick.



It's quick, I promise.



Drink some water.



WAIT! DON'T WIPE THE WATER OFF YOUR LIPS YET!



Look, see how they shine?



See how they twinkle and glimmer?



it's like you.



Even in the tiniest bit of light, you shine.



If you want to take your life, think about something.



Out of the 7 billion+ people on this earth..



Someone out there, they think you're perfect.



They love you, so much.



Imagine how much you'd hurt them if you left..



even if it seems unlikely, I can assure you.



Someone out there, they love you.



So keep fighting.



You'll win, no matter how hard it is.







"Fight the storm to see the rainbow". Remember that, okay?



Good, I love you.



Stay safe, handsome/beautiful :)

And Dont Be Sad That She/He Is Gone Be Happy That He/She Gave You Memories And It Became A Memory :)

The biggest mistake we ever did as kids was thinking growing up would be fun.

@oMikus

The thing is when I was little, I never wanted to grow up. I always thought it was stressful..
