Moon
Secret Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should do it on your back
See if you can swallow
50 ducks and make ′em quack
The doctor needs your insipiration
Patients can't be staff
Yeah we′ve seen this type of indignantion
Ha, ha ha ha, ha
Drew my conclusion
I lose
Got my solution
I'm true
I can
Escape this
I fight my body
But if I erase it
Its still got copies
The spotlit mongrel that just chased me down
Has me confused I belong in my madness
Sounds feed the simulation
Projected down
From its heart, with its life, through its center
Drew my conclusion
I lose
Got my solution
I'm true
Is there a reason
I wanna know
Who is deceivin′
Who′s in control
This time its for real
I'm doing the deal
And making all my problems grow for you
I′m selfishly setup
I live for the get up
The outfit I wore was imbued with truth
I'm shining for my mirror
I′m shining for my mirror
I'm shining for my mirror
Reflecting you
Reflecting you
Reflecting you
Reflecting you
I can
Escape this
I fight my body
But if I erase it
Incubating copies
It speaks with stylish wit
Such a smiling prick
That preys upon the bland
Hiding it′s violence
It's a nihilist
That takes you by the hand
The spotlit mongrel that just chased me down
Has me confused I belong in my madness
Sounds feed the simulation
Projected down
From its heart, with its life, through its center
"Shines shakes and laughs
After the beams came clouds
And then I slept
Dreaming of it winking
Hideous, strained, watching eye
Which strives to convey some message
Yet recalls nothing
Save that it once had a message
To convey"

You've convinced me to lie
Convinced me to live my lie
The song "Moon" by Secret Band is a complex and cryptic piece of work that challenges the listener to decipher its meaning. It is a song that explores the human psyche, taking a deep dive into the mind's inner workings. The opening lines suggest that the singer is addressing someone who tends to wallow in their despair. He advises them to try doing it on their back, implying that it might be easier to deal with their troubles and find a way out.
The lyric "See if you can swallow 50 ducks and make ’em quack" is a surreal image that adds to the song's mysterious tone. The line conjures up the idea of swallowing creatures whole and making them quack, which is absurd and impossible. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for trying to take in too much at once and feeling overwhelmed by life.
The next verse talks about a doctor who needs inspiration from patients but who also can't be staff. This could refer to the fact that doctors need to be inspired by their patients to do their job and that they cannot afford to be staffed, which means they can't take time off. The singer then goes on to say that lyrics make us laugh and that we've seen this type of indignation.
The song becomes more introspective as the singer tries to make sense of his thoughts and emotions. The lyrics "I lose. Got my solution. I'm true" suggest that the singer has come to a conclusion but has also lost something along the way. He tries to fight his body but realizes that erasing it means that there will still be copies.
The verse "Is there a reason. I wanna know. Who is deceiving. Who's in control." suggests that the singer is questioning his beliefs and trying to make sense of the world. He's trying to understand why things are the way they are and who is responsible for them. The last lines of the song suggest that the singer has been convinced to live a lie.
Overall, "Moon" is a song that highlights the complexities of the human experience. It covers themes like self-reflection, the need for inspiration, the confusion of madness, and the search for truth.

And it wasn't good
Got my solution
But I found a way to fix it
I'm true
And now I'm honest
I can
I have the ability
Escape this
Leave this behind
I fight my body
I am struggling with myself
But if I erase it
But even if I manage to remove it
Its still got copies
There will still be copies of this thing, this feeling, this action, etc.
The spotlit mongrel that just chased me down
That terrifying creature that was just in the spotlight and chased after me
Has me confused I belong in my madness
Makes me feel confused about where I belong in this craziness
Sounds feed the simulation
The sounds I hear influence my perception of reality
Projected down
Thrown down from above
From its heart, with its life, through its center
From its very core
Is there a reason
Is there a purpose
I wanna know
I really want to understand
Who is deceivin′
Who's lying to me
Who′s in control
Who's really running things
This time its for real
This time it's serious
I'm doing the deal
I'm making an agreement
And making all my problems grow for you
And by doing so, I'm making all my problems bigger and more difficult for you
I′m selfishly setup
I've put myself in a selfish position
I live for the get up
I live only to get up, get going, be active
The outfit I wore was imbued with truth
The clothes I was wearing had the power of truth in them
I'm shining for my mirror
I'm only performing for myself and my own image, my own reflection
Reflecting you
Even though it's supposed to be me shining in the mirror, I'm really just reflecting you, someone else
Incubating copies
Creating more copies
It speaks with stylish wit
It talks with a lot of style and cleverness
Such a smiling prick
But it's really just a rude, unfriendly person
That preys upon the bland
Someone who takes advantage of people who are not very interesting, or not very good at defending themselves
Hiding it′s violence
Preventing others from seeing its true, aggressive nature
It's a nihilist
This person doesn't believe in anything or anyone, and thinks life is meaningless
That takes you by the hand
But still manages to get close to you, to make you follow it

You've convinced me to lie
You've persuaded me to be dishonest or insincere

@anthonyyershov4156
I love how Jon can actually hit different notes when screaming
@TheMultijesus13
This is what makes him quite individual
@raezor111
Oli Sykes does it, Sam Carter does it Marcus Bridge does it, Jordan Dreyer does it. The list goes on.
@yourcommondani
@@raezor111 Can Oli even scream anymore?

@xnflg3074
Last couple of minutes of this get super real and terrifying. It's actually really uncomfortable because most of the rest of this album has a kinda "carefree" weirdness. This song is proper FUCKED and I love it.
