Bands like Cocteau Twins, Smiths, U2, My Bloody Valentine, Cure, Flock Of Seagulls, Dead Can Dance. and Ocean Blue have provided consistent inspirations, creating a long catalog of moods & textures to draw from while developing their sound.

Sentinel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonchild
On the night she born the lightning flashed and the thunder roar
But when they heard her cry -the clouds rolled back and the full moon fill the sky
Shinin` down in her eye
Can you hear her cry

Moon child
She always look so pale

The things she wear and the long white veil
She wrapped it up so tight -your mind come loose and you drift on out of sight
She`s a child of the night
Can you hear her cry

Moon child
....too high (she always tries to hide?)
The way she feel s on the darker side
She like to fall in love every time there`s a full moon up above
Then she`s out of this world
She`s another girl
And it makes her cry

I love to hear her cry
Moon Child

Overall Meaning

The song Moonchild by Sentinel describes a girl born on a stormy night. The lightning and thunder create a dramatic scene and her first cries cause the clouds to part, revealing a full moon shining down on her. The girl is described as pale and always wearing long white veils that wrap her up tightly. She seems to be in touch with the darker side of life, often feeling too high or trying to hide. However, she also experiences intense emotions, particularly during a full moon when she falls in love and feels out of this world. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "can you hear her cry?" suggesting a sense of longing and emotional connection to the moon and the night sky.

The lyrics of the song seem to suggest a connection between the girl and the moon. The full moon seems to have a transformative effect on her, making her feel like she's from another world. The symbolism of the moon and the night is often associated with mystery, intuition, and the unconscious. The girl may represent someone in touch with these deeper parts of herself, but also struggling to exist in a world that doesn't always understand her.
