Moonshine
Phillips Shawn Lyrics

Yellow flowers
The singer purchased yellow flowers

Bought today
The flowers were recently bought

I bought 'em from the man who lives in the other way
The flowers were bought from a man who lives nearby

Wilting flowers
The flowers are wilting

Couldn't stay
The flowers were unable to survive

Not enough water gotta fill 'em to the brink today
The singer must water them way beyond their limits to save them

Another moonshine
The symbol of the moonshine represents an upcoming event

Oh, moonshine
Moonshine is used twice and is used to place emphasis on the symbolic meaning of an upcoming occurrence

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
The moon provides a clue that predicts an approaching rainstorm

I don't believe it can be verified
The artist doubts that the truth can be proven

I don't believe it can be put right
The singer believes that the solution is elusive

It's too confused in all of its facets
The situation is too complex for a simple solution

It's too complex in all of its ways
The problem is intertwined with multiple factors

They just continuing to tell me their trouble
Others are continuously sharing their problems with the singer

They just continuing to tell me their lies
They are not honest in their storytelling

They don't believe in helping their brother
Others are not inclined to offer help to those in need

They're standing still and hearing his cries
Others are unwilling to take action despite being aware of someone's suffering

If you believe that you got the power
If you are confident in your abilities

If you believe it deep in your heart
If you truly believe it is possible

You're on the run in front of a gunner
You are taking risks

You're on the run and no one said start
You are taking risks even without a clear indication to do so

Red moon rising, dogs are howling
A chaotic and frightening environment is suggested

Throwing stones at Willy on the other side
Harmful behavior towards others is displayed

Octogenarians intermarrying
Elderly people are marrying one another

What you gonna do when the light goes out?
What will you do when times get tough?

Madly scrambling in the brambling
Frantically moving through a rough terrain

Up the mountain like a frightened trout
Moving up a mountain quickly, despite being scared

Killing relieves the hunting imperative
Killing is a requirement when hunting

Maiming relieves the sadist's delight
Causing harm brings the sadist pleasure

They don't believe in what they are doing
Others are not convinced about their actions

I do believe that they are uptight
The singer believes that others are nervous and anxious

Safe and secure in maudlin commodities
Others are content with mundane, overdone lifestyles

Smug and pedantic into their lives
Others are conceited and pompous about their routine lives

Stupidity can never make answers
Making foolish decisions will not lead to solutions

Pathos is there in all of its might
Emotion is powerful in its influence

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter
The artist anticipates laughter in the future

Talk about after, yeah, there's gonna be laughter
Laughter will come after a tumultuous period of time

Talk about after, heh, there's gonna be laughter someday
Laughter is on the horizon

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, yeh
The arrival of sunshine symbolizes the start of a new day

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, ah
The upcoming sunshine is a promise of a fresh start

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day
The sunshine indicates a chance for a new beginning

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new ...
