Moonshine
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the moonshine, i can see you on the coldest side
waiting till our body's gone...
But when you are you, don't let me down
so when you speak, you know...
Look for me on the shippers boat and leave the house behind...
Know it's not you, cause you are the knife waiting till the others come...
No it's not me, come home and decide
step fall break laugh, i make stronger.
By the moon ...shining, glowing, the dark, come dance with me...See the coldest and the darkest skin, and you glow inside the dream I'm in... only by the moonshine...

The lyrics also suggest a sense of confusion, with the artist not being sure who they are or who the person they are singing to truly is. The artist speaks of a knife waiting for the others to come, and how they can make themselves stronger by stepping, falling, breaking, and laughing.

En soğuk ve en karanlık teni görüyorum
ve sen içinde olduğum hayalde parlıyorsun
Ay ışığıyla, seni en soğuk tarafta görebiliyorum
Vücudum yok olana kadar bekle
Ama itiraz ettiğinde, ölmeme izin verme
Ama sen konuştuğunda, ben izin veriyorum
Nakliyecinin teknesinde ara beni ve arkada bırak evi
Ay ışığıyla karanlıkta parlıyorsun, haydi benimle dans et
Ay ışığıyla karanlıkta parlıyorsun, haydi benimle dans et
En soğuk ve en karanlık teni görüyorum, ve sen içinde olduğum hayalde parlıyorsun
Hayır o sen değilsin, çünkü sen gecesin
Diğerleri gelene kadar bekle
Hayır o ben değilim, eve gel ve karar ver
Adım at, düş, kır, gül
Daha güçlü yapıyorum
Ay ışığıyla karanlıkta parlıyorsun, haydi benimle dans et
Ay ışığıyla karanlıkta parlıyorsun, haydi benimle dans et
En soğuk ve en karanlık teni görüyorum, ve sen içinde olduğum hayalde parlıyorsun
Sadece ay ışığıyla

Hatırlatın bana bu şarkıyı lütfen
Please remember me this song💕
Sefa Gürsoy
Hatırlatmak istedim.. ben de hatırladım bu gece..
2 gün önce burda Dolunay'dı.. neyse
Bu duygular kayboluyor.. nolur Siz besleyin ki.. ölmesinler..
Çünkü ölüyorlar.
