The lyrics to Synapson feat. Charles Harvey's song "Moonlight" speak to missed opportunities and the reality of a harsh world where only a few are able to find success. The repetition of "It could have been you, moonlight; it could have been me, moonlight; it could have been us, moonlight," highlights the idea that success is elusive and could have been achieved by anyone, but only one person was fortunate enough to find a job and make something of themselves. The use of moonlight as a metaphor for success adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, suggesting that success is almost magical and mystical.
The singer's repeated sentiment of "But I'm the only one who got a job down here" emphasizes the inequality and lack of opportunity that exists in the world. The singer is acknowledging that it's not just about talent or hard work, but also about luck and circumstance. The use of the word "down" suggests that the singer is in a lower social or economic class and is acutely aware of their status. Despite the melancholic nature of the lyrics, the song has an upbeat and catchy tune that could be interpreted as a statement on how important it is to keep pushing oneself even when things seem bleak.
