moonchild
RM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're born in the moonlight
Ain't no fantasy
Can't breathe in the sunlight
Gotta hide your heart
We're born to be sad, sad (whoa-oh), sad, sad
Suffer to be glad, glad (whoa-oh), glad, glad

Come on, ya'll, moonchild, moonchild
That's how it's supposed to be
Yeah, all these pain and all these sorrows
That's our destiny, see?
You and my life was like this
We gotta dance in the rain
Dance in the pain
Even though we crash down
We gon' dance in the plane
우리에겐 누구보다 밤의 풍경이 필요해
그 어느 누구도 아닌 나만이 날 위로해
It's okay to shed the tears
But don't you tear yourself

Moonchild, you shine
When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll
Moonchild, don't cry
When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll
Moonchild, you shine
When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll

떠나도 절대 한 번도 떠나지지가 않아
죽고 싶다며 그만큼 넌 또 열심히 살아
다 내려놓고 싶다며 또다른 추를 달아
생각하지 말잔 생각조차 생각이잖아 (you know)
사실은 우린 이런 운명이란 걸 (you know)
끝없는 고통 속에 웃는 거란 걸 (you know)
자유라 말하는 순간 자유는 없어 (you know)
Do you know?

달의 시간에 영혼의 눈으로 저 밤하늘을 봐
너에겐 보여줄 거야
너의 창 너의 시간
알고 있니, 저 가로등에도 가시가 많아
저 명멸하는 빛을 자세히 한 번 쳐다봐
야경이란 게
참 잔인하지 않니
누구의 가시들이 모여 펼쳐진 장관이
분명 누군간 너의 가시를 보며 위로받겠지
우린 서로의 야경, 서로의 달 (서로의 달)

우린 서로의 야경, 서로의 달
우린 서로의 야경, 서로의 달
우린 서로의 야경, 서로의 달

Come on, ya'll
Moonchild, don't cry
When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll
Moonchild, you shine




When moon rise, it's your time
Come on, ya'll

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonchild" by RM starts with the lyrics "We're born in the moonlight, ain't no fantasy, can't breathe in the sunlight, gotta hide your heart." These lyrics suggest that the person singing, as well as their listeners, are different from others and cannot fit in with the mainstream "sunlight." They have to hide their emotions and true selves to avoid being hurt or judged by society. The chorus encourages the listener to embrace their unique identity as a "moonchild" and accept the pain and sorrow that comes with it. They have to dance in the rain and pain, even when they fall, they keep dancing.


The second verse talks about the struggles of life and how even though one wants to give up, they keep going. The lines "Do you know? In the time of the moon, look at the night sky with the eyes of your soul. I'll show you yours, your window, your time," suggests that the moon represents a time of self-reflection and finding oneself. The outro repeats the idea of being a moonchild, with the person singing encouraging the listener to shine like the moon.


Overall, the song is about embracing one's unique and unconventional identity and accepting the pain and struggles that come with it. It encourages the listener to keep dancing through the pain and to find beauty in their own unique journey.
