Luna
R.J. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's impossible of course, to go to gate 9 3/4
And to climb on board that train, Ron, Harry, and I
But if I could there'd be no acid hit that could ever get better than this
And I know just where I'd sit and who I'd sit beside
I know just where I'd sit and who I'd sit beside

She could read the paper upside down, I wouldn't care
Or tie a bunch of crazy, goddamn shit up in her hair, I wouldn't care

So when I climb on board the Hogwarts Express it's a trip I'll never regret
It'll be the greatest experience I've ever had yet
Cause my traveling companion is, the greatest girl there ever is
And she's sitting right beside me, being herself
She's sitting right beside me being herself

She's been kicked to the ground before, she watched her Mama die
But somehow found the strength inside to get back up and survive

She's not the picture of innocence, it's different than that
She's more like a symbol of hope and how to live your life
And like Harry digging Dobby's grave, catharsis comes in the deepest pain
And you find out who you are deep in the pit
Me and Luna found who we are deep in the pit

Find yourself in the pain
Be yourself when you go back in the world again

Cause you don't need a complex strategy or a grand plan to succeed
Just be yourself, that's all you need to live successfully
Line your inside up with your out, and don't be afraid to say it or shout
I've been to hell and back and have chosen to be alive

And I love her as soft as the touch of the lovers lips
And I love her as strong as the steel forged in the depths of apocalypse
I love her, and I'm glad she's sitting right beside me being herself

And I love her as soft as the touch of the lovers lips




And I love her as strong as the steel forged in the depths of apocalypse
I love her, and I'm glad she's sitting right beside me, being herself
