Moonlit Sky
Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, ashes falling, oh, while it's falling
Under the moonlit sky, oh how you fall and die?
So long now, so long now
Under the moonlit sky, the stars fall and die
How the sea rages, oh love bruises
It's like the world you've known before it's lost and gone
Under the moonlit sky, just hold my hand and try
Hold me soft tonight beneath the quiet lights
Under the moonlit sky, I'll hold your hand of lies
But in my arm's colder, oh lost soldier
Under the moonlit sky, we see the forces die
Oh, ashes falling, oh, while it's falling
Under the moonlit sky, oh how you fall and die?
So long now, so long now
Under the moonlit sky, we see the forces die
Oh, ashes falling, oh, while it's falling
Under the moonlit sky, oh how you fall and die?
So long now, so long now
So long now, so long now
So long now, so long now
So long now, so long now
So long now, so long now
The lyrics to Robin Schulz's song Moonlit Sky describe a scene of destruction and loss, observed under the light of the moon. The imagery is melancholic as ashes fall and stars and forces die. The mood is one of reflection and deep sadness, as the singer wonders how things came to be this way. The contrast between the before and after is stark, as things are lost and gone in a world that was once familiar.
But amidst the destruction, there is a sense of closeness and intimacy, as the singer invites their partner to hold their hand and find some solace in each other's company. The reference to a "hand of lies" suggests that there might be some deception or hidden pain in the relationship, but even so, the comfort of physical proximity is still important. The last repeated lines "so long now" suggest a final farewell to what was once familiar, and an acknowledgment that things will never be the same again.

Under the moonlit sky, we see the forces die
Beneath the moon's soft light, we witness the end of powerful entities
Oh, ashes falling, oh, while it's falling
Ashes cascade down as destruction continues
Under the moonlit sky, oh how you fall and die?
Beneath the moon's soft light, how do you continue to perish?
So long now, so long now
A farewell, farewell
Under the moonlit sky, the stars fall and die
The stars fall down and disappear beneath the moon's light
How the sea rages, oh love bruises
The sea roars with anger, and love leaves bruises
It's like the world you've known before it's lost and gone
The world you once knew is now vanished, lost to you
Unlike a world you've seen before it's lost to me
I no longer recognize the world I once knew
Under the moonlit sky, just hold my hand and try
Hold onto my hand and attempt to endure
Hold me soft tonight beneath the quiet lights
Embrace me gently under the hushed moonlight
Under the moonlit sky, I'll hold your hand of lies
Beneath the moon's soft light, I will hold your deceitful hand
But in my arm's colder, oh lost soldier
Yet, my embrace feels cold; a lost soldier am I
So long now, so long now
A farewell, farewell
So long now, so long now
A farewell, farewell
So long now, so long now
A farewell, farewell
So long now, so long now
A farewell, farewell
