Moonlit Night
Riot Of Colours Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stranded lying shattered on the shore
And abandoned running blindfold ashore
Wasted on him
You ran out of dignity my friend
You′ve got lost
In the tides of your senses

Do you oh do you feel used
Are you and are you the accused
Wake up wake up make up an excuse
Oh you you're a moonlit night

You landed lying battered on the floor
And abandoned what where you waiting for
A trip to your heart
A ship with no no mark
You′ve got lost
As he broke down your defences

Wake up wake up make up an excuse
Oh you you're a moonlit night

White lies on your ark
Foggy skies it is dark
You cleared the harbour
Instead of your mind your mind
And now you're an island and you′re so hard to find

Do you oh do you feel used
Are you oh are you the accused
Wake up wake up make up an excuse
Oh you you′re a moonlit night

Do you oh do you feel used
Are you and are you the accused




Wake up wake up make up an excuse
Oh you you're a moonlit night

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonlit Night" by Riot of Colours portrays a woman who seems to have lost herself completely in a toxic relationship. The lyrics depict her as stranded and shattered on the shore, having lost all sense of dignity. She appears to have hit rock bottom, lying battered on the floor after having her defenses broken down by her partner, who seems to have used her and accused her of wrongdoing. The chorus of the song encourages the woman to wake up and take control of the situation, to make an excuse and break free from the cycle of abuse. However, the woman seems lost and unable to free herself from the hold of her abusive partner.


The song contains a lot of metaphors that paint a vivid picture of the woman's emotional state and her inability to escape her situation. The moonlit night is used as a metaphor for her state of mind, with the white lies on her ark, foggy skies, and darkness all contributing to the sense of mystery and confusion.


In summary, "Moonlit Night" is a song that explores the theme of abusive relationships and the struggle to break free from them. The woman depicted in the song seems trapped and unable to see a way out, with the moonlit night serving as a symbol of her inner turmoil.
