Mooning
Soundtrack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spend my days just mooning,
So sad and blue,
So sad and blue I spend my nights just mooning,
All over you (all over who?)
Oh I'm so full of love, as any fool can see
'Cause ages up above, have hung the moon on me
(Why must you go) why must I go on mooning,
So all alone (so all alone)
There would be no (there would be no) more mooning,
If you would call me (I've found a phone)
While lying by myself in bed, I cry and give myself the red eye
Mooning over you I'll stay behind
(You'll stay behind) you mooning forevermore (forevermore)
Someday you'll find (someday we'll find)
Me mooning at your front door (at my front door)
Oh, everyday at school I want ya, always will until I got ya




Mooning too
There's a moon up tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soundtrack's song Mooning convey the angst and longing of unrequited love. The singer of the song spends their days and nights pining for an unnamed person, and is so full of love that it's clear to anyone who sees them. However, despite this overwhelming emotion, the object of their affection remains inaccessible and distant, leaving the singer to continue mooning (obsessing) over them. The lyrics bring to mind the universal feeling of adolescent infatuation, the sense of being consumed by one's feelings and unable to get the object of one's desire out of their head.


The chorus of the song particularly highlights this sense of yearning and desperation, with the repeated refrain of "why must I go on mooning?" underscoring the frustration and helplessness of unrequited love. Despite this, the singer of the song remains committed to their feelings, unable to let go even in the face of rejection and indifference. The final lines of the song suggest that this infatuation is likely to continue indefinitely, with the singer waiting at the object of their love's door even in the face of continued rejection.
