Moon Tattoo
Sofi Tukker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only if I don't follow you, follow you
Then maybe much will??
Moon if I don't bother you
Then maybe I'm more mature
But Moon I wanna show you off
I wanna dress in you
And then I wanna take you off
Show them what I'm into
Moon I wanna paint you on
Moon I wanna show you off
Moon I wanna show you too
My process in my prayer
Moon I wanna dress in you
Moon I wanna see you blue
Moon I wanna show you how
How resist your stare

Moon I wanna paint you on
Moon I wanna show you off
Moon I wanna show you too
My process in my prayer
Moon I wanna dress in you
Moon I wanna see you blue
Moon I wanna show you how
How resist your stare

Guess my Moon tattoo should fade
The gentle silhouette
Moon I'll catch you on a game
You talked me in before we met
You talked me in before we met




You talked me in before we met
You talked me in before we met

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Moon Tattoo" by SOFI TUKKER suggest a deep and personal connection with the moon. The singer seems to be in a state of introspection, wondering if they should follow the conventional path or break free and do what they truly want. The moon is a symbol of maturity and stability, and the singer is exploring their own relationship with it. They desire to show the moon off, almost like a fashion accessory or a work of art that they take pride in. However, the true meaning behind this desire remains unclear, as it is heavily buried in metaphor.


The singer's connection with the moon seems to border on the spiritual. They talk about "dressing in the moon," "painting the moon," and "catching the moon on a game." These phrases evoke an almost mystical experience where the singer feels a sense of unity with the moon. The line "My process in my prayer" suggests that this connection is not just aesthetic, but also deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs. Overall, the song's lyrics suggest a deep desire for personal expression and a connection to something greater than themselves.

You are so talented!! Such a beautiful track!! Congrats!!❀❀
Thanks!!

@bjorklover69

This track was the first track that introduced me to Sofi Tukker. Watery, sensual, surreal, dreamy. Now they are literally one of my fave artists.....

But listening to this track while starring at the moon over the acropolis in Athens one night....

True magic.

@leomashercules3653

essa música é muito forte, é como se eu conseguisse sentir minhas reencarnaçáes e pudesse ter a Lua como manifestação divina em todas elas. Deusa seja glorificada.

@tonygeis4363

Heard Best Friend at a bar recently, so decided to see what else they got. Every other 10 years or so a concentrated wave of good music comes along. Experienced it with the 1970's, 1990's, and now the 2010's. Sofi Tukker IMHO deserves honorable mention as being among those we might consider 'classic' 20 years from now.

@katietyler7604

Yes I had never heard of her. Awoo was on the Blacklist and I am really blown away. ❀️❀️
