Moonlight affair
Silent Circle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonlight affair,
Moonlight affair...

Was it love at first sight,
Or was it destiny?
But since the first time with you
I really know there's another one
When all the world is asleep
I want to be with you
It ain't worth a single doubt
Maybe I know it cannot last for long

Moonlight affair,
I can feel your heartbeat
Moonlight affair,
I'm just walking round and round

[CHORUS:]
Moonlight affair,
(Forever together)
I can feel your heartbeat
(Close to me)
Moonlight affair,
(Forever together)
I'm just walking round and round

And I walk by your side,
I long for your embrace,
Don't want to leave you tonight
And in your eyes I see the endless space

But soon the moment will break
And you'll be gone away
I don't like to hesitate
I feel your hand,
We know it's not too late

[chorus]
It's no love affair, go on dreaming
Nothing left to share but the moon
It's no love affair when we're leaving
Nothing left to share when you're gone





[chorus repeats till fadeaway]

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonlight Affair" by Silent Circle speaks of a romantic rendezvous between two people, driven by an irresistible attraction that seems to transcend fate. The singer wonders if it was love at first sight or perhaps the hand of destiny that brought them together. However, what is certain to the singer is that from the moment they first laid eyes on one another, they felt an overwhelming connection that could not be denied, despite the fact that they both know that their affair might not last for long.


The first verse of the song speaks of a strong need to be together that is felt by both parties. The singer expresses a desire to be with their lover when the rest of the world is asleep, and they know that there is no doubt in their heart that their love is worth it, even if it might not last forever. The chorus of the song reiterates this sentiment, speaking of the powerful connection felt between the two lovers as they walk together, surrounded by the moonlit night.


However, the singer is aware that the night must eventually come to an end, and that their lover will soon disappear into the night. Nevertheless, they know that they cannot hesitate to seize the moment, and they take full advantage of the time they have together. The bridge of the song speaks of how this cannot be classified as a love affair as there is nothing to share except for the moon, and nothing will remain once their affair is over. The song ends with the chorus repeating, emphasizing the fleeting nature of their affair, and the unquenchable connection between the two lovers.
