Moon
Secret Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you like to wallow
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
Lyrics make you laugh

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"
Moon

You've convinced me to lie
Convinced me to live my lie

Overall Meaning

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.

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, winking eye
Which strives to convey some message

Yet recalls nothing
Save that it once had a message
To convey

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.

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.
