Moonlight Dance
Shayne Orok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see past the way you're not really smiling
You say you're alright
Come on I know you better than that
Maybe you need just more than time for this to heal
Girl I'm trying to help you
But it's just so hard when you're facing rejection
Aren't you feeling so lost right now
I wish I could save you but you're a million miles away
Come take my hand, it's all I can offer to you
I hope you dance, I hope you dance with me tonight
I hope you dance
Ooh
No flowers don't die
Not with the water they need to survive
But you're close to drowning
Underneath a pale moonlight
No it's not right
It's not right for you to feel like this
It's not the same
You're not the same girl that I once knew
But beneath all the sorrow, beneath all the pain
You'll end up finding there's no one out there to blame
But blame it all on me if you need a way to breathe
It's not worth it
It's not worth a single tear from you
Aren't you feeling so lost right now
I wish I could save you but you're a million miles away
Come take my hand, it's all I can offer to you
I hope you dance, I hope you dance with me tonight
I hope you dance
The lyrics of Shayne Orok's song Moonlight Dance portrays the singer reaching out to someone he cares about who is going through a difficult time. Even though this person may appear to be okay, the singer sees through the facade and recognizes the pain they are experiencing. He wants to help them heal, but acknowledges that this may take more than just time. Despite the difficulties they are facing, the singer encourages this person to dance with him under the moonlight, using this as a metaphor for finding joy even in tough times.
As the song progresses, the singer uses a metaphor of water to describe the feeling of drowning that the person he cares about is experiencing. He recognizes that this person is not the same as they once were, and that they are struggling to cope with the pain they are feeling. Despite this, the singer encourages them to keep going and to find a way to breathe, stating that it's not worth shedding a single tear over.

This line is repeated throughout the song and serves as a transition between verses
No flowers don't die
Plants and flowers can withstand difficult circumstances as long as they receive proper care
Not with the water they need to survive
Just like plants need water to survive, people need support and care to overcome hardships
But you're close to drowning
Despite your efforts to stay afloat, you're struggling and feel like you're drowning
Underneath a pale moonlight
This line could be interpreted in different ways, but it likely alludes to the emotional intensity of the situation or creates a mood for the song
No it's not right
The situation you're in isn't fair and you don't deserve to feel this way
It's not right for you to feel like this
You shouldn't have to go through this kind of pain and hardship
It's not the same
Things have changed and your current state of mind isn't the same as before
You're not the same girl that I once knew
You've changed and it's evident in the way you're feeling and acting
But beneath all the sorrow, beneath all the pain
Despite the negative emotions you're experiencing, there's always a chance for hope and growth
You'll end up finding there's no one out there to blame
Sometimes there's no one to blame for the hardships we face and accepting this can help with healing
But blame it all on me if you need a way to breathe
If you need someone or something to blame for what you're going through, you can blame me for whatever it's worth
It's not worth it
The pain and heartache you're going through isn't worth it and you deserve better
It's not worth a single tear from you
Your tears and emotional pain shouldn't be taken lightly or dismissed, but it's important to remember that you're stronger than this and will overcome it
