No Moon At All
Rebecca Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even livened bugs empty their light
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido, he's afraid to bark
Oh, what a perfect chance to park
Should we want atmosphere
For inspiration be one kiss
Will make it clear that tonight is right
And right from life, nights interfere
No moon at all, ah poor boy
This is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
There's no moon at all
And there's no moon at all
And there's no moon at all
The song "No Moon At All" by Rebecca Martin is a melancholic jazz piece that speaks about a dark and moonless night. The first few lines describe how the night is so dark that even the bugs have stopped glowing, and the stars have disappeared from sight. It creates an eerie atmosphere of emptiness and stillness. As the song continues, the lyrics hint at a possibility of romance, with the line "Should we want atmosphere, for inspiration be one kiss." The moonless night becomes an opportunity for intimacy, and the darkness around them creates a mysterious ambiance.
The chorus repeats the lyrics "No moon at all" several times, suggesting a sense of disappointment and disillusionment. The song ends on a somber note, with the line "Just to think we fell in love, there's no moon at all," implying that the romance itself feels incomplete or unsatisfying, much like the moonless night.
Overall, the song "No Moon At All" captures a sense of longing and restlessness, with a touch of melancholy that permeates throughout the lyrics. It is a beautiful portrayal of human emotions and how they are often influenced by the atmosphere around them.
