Moonshine
Renderfly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a moth to the moon, you are guiding
my flight
to attainable highs of highs,
but if I stray to a candle that burns half
as bright,
it's because I have lost the light

Guide me through moonshine, crash in the

faith of a day when everything is alright
Fly me through moonshine,
embrace in the haze and escape into the
fine white light

There are memories there that remind me
of you,
lost in shadows within my mind
but if I spend me a lifetime away looking
back,
I will lose what you said to find

Fine white light, fine white light,
fine white light, for all to see
Fine white light, fine white lignt,
Shine white light, shine white light
eternally

Guide me through moonshine,
Fly me through moonshine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Renderfly's song Moonshine create an intense and touching metaphor for the unpredictable journey through life. The first line, "Like a moth to the moon, you are guiding my flight" creates an immediate image of an inevitable force, a pull towards something greater than oneself. The moth, a symbol of transformation and rebirth, is drawn to the moon, an ethereal and otherworldly presence. The singer acknowledges that this guiding force brings them to "attainable highs of highs", a place where they can feel the most alive and connected to the world.

However, just as a moth might be drawn to a nearby flickering candle, the singer recognizes the danger of straying from the path towards the moon. They caution that "if I stray to a candle that burns half as bright, it's because I have lost the light". The candle, a symbol of temporary pleasure and distraction, is enticing but ultimately destructive. The singer acknowledges their own vulnerability and tendency towards temptation, but insists that they will return to the moon, to the ultimate goal.

The chorus offers a powerful and haunting image of the moon as a transformative force, a place where anything is possible. The singer implores, "Guide me through moonshine, crash in the faith of a day when everything is alright/ Fly me through moonshine, embrace in the haze and escape into the fine white light". The moonshine represents a mystical and transcendent experience, and the singer longs to be transported there. The final lines of the song declare, "Fine white light, for all to see/ Shine white light, shine white light, eternally". This light represents hope, truth, and the ultimate goal of the journey.
