Why
The Big Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I held you tightly by the hand
We took a dip by the moonlight
You left your Nikes on the sand
I didn′t come to see the ocean
I didn't come to see the sights
I know that something here is broken
And I can see it in your eyes
But I don′t see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don′t see why
I didn′t come to hear the silence
And all the havoc it could wreak
I've never seen you with your tongue tied
I count the minutes till you speak
When did you get shy?
You′re not yourself tonight
I see your red light
I see it in your eyes
But I don't see why
No, I don′t see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don′t see why
I'll be lookin' for the stars
From the backseat of your car
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I′ll be lookin′ for the stars
In the backseat of your car
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I didn't come to see the ocean
I didn′t come to see the beach
I know that something here is broken
And I can see the pieces at my feet
When did you get shy?
You're not yourself tonight
While I just played dumb
You′ve been busy growin' up
But I don′t see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don′t see why
No, I don′t see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don′t see why
No, I don't see why
The Big Moon's song "Why" tells the story of a complicated relationship between two individuals who have taken a trip to the seaside. The singer is aware that something is broken within their relationship and she can see it in her partner's eyes. However, her partner is not communicating with her and seems shy and reserved. The singer is confused and frustrated by her partner's lack of openness and communication.
In the chorus, the singer repeatedly states that she doesn't see why her partner is acting this way. She wants to connect with her partner and understand what is going on, but she feels like she's hitting a brick wall. Towards the end of the song, the singer feels like she's been playing dumb while her partner has been busy growing up.
Overall, "Why" is a poignant and relatable song about the difficulties that can arise in a relationship when one partner is not open and honest with the other. It captures the frustration and confusion that can arise when misunderstandings and lack of communication occur.

We took a trip to the seaside
We went to the seaside together
I held you tightly by the hand
I held onto you firmly
We took a dip by the moonlight
We went for a swim in the moonlight
You left your Nikes on the sand
You took off your shoes and left them on the sand
I didn't come to see the ocean
I didn't come here to see the ocean
I didn't come to see the sights
I didn't come here to see the attractions
I know that something here is broken
I know that something isn't right
And I can see it in your eyes
I can tell by looking in your eyes
But I don't see why
I don't understand why
I didn't come to hear the silence
I didn't come here to listen to silence
And all the havoc it could wreak
And all the trouble it could cause
I've never seen you with your tongue tied
I've never seen you struggle to speak
I count the minutes till you speak
I eagerly await your words
When did you get shy?
When did you become less confident?
You're not yourself tonight
You're acting differently than usual
I see your red light
I can tell that you're upset
I'll be lookin' for the stars
I'll be searching for the stars
From the backseat of your car
From the back of your car
I didn't come to see the beach
I didn't come here to see the beach
And I can see the pieces at my feet
And I can see the broken parts on the ground
While I just played dumb
While I pretended not to notice
You've been busy growin' up
You've been changing and maturing

Text:
Wenn man in der Schule sitzt, über seinen Büchern schwitzt
Und es lacht der Sonnenschein, dann möcht man draußen sein
Ist die Schule endlich aus, geh'n die Kinder froh nach Haus
Und der kleine Klaus ruft dem Hänschen hinterher:
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein
Und dann nischt wie raus nach Wannsee
Ja, wir radeln wie der Wind durch den Grunewald geschwind
Und dann sind wir bald am Wannsee
Hei, wir tummeln uns im Wasser wie die Fischlein, das ist fein
Und nur deine kleine Schwestern, nee, die traut sich nicht hinein
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein
Denn um Acht müssen wir zuhause sein
