FULL MOON
The Black Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go
And I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
You're still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
And If I come home how will I ever leave
The Black Ghosts' Full Moon is a song that captures the essence of a restless soul searching for meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics are reflective and introspective, exploring themes of uncertainty, isolation, and the fear of being trapped in a cycle of life that no longer fulfills one's deepest desires. The opening line, "when the full moon turns white, that's when I'll come home," suggests a longing for a sense of belonging and connection, a place to call home. The song's protagonist is in search of adventure, willing to risk it all to discover their true purpose in life. This quest, however, is not free of self-doubt and apprehension, as the lyrics verify "I don't know where I'll go, and I don't know what I'll see, but I'll try not to bring it back home with me."
The second verse highlights the sense of detachment and loneliness that the singer encounters on their journey. The lyrics, "Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me, and you're still there, Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there," indicates that despite being far removed from their usual surroundings, the singer is unable to escape the memory of a loved one. The song culminates with an acknowledgment of the singer's internal conflict, offering a genuine exploration of how one goes about balancing the desire for adventure and a craving for stability. "And if I come home, how will I ever leave," is a rhetorical question that captures the tension between feeling stuck and yearning to explore new horizons.
Line by Line Meaning
When the full moon turns white that's when I'll come home
I will return home when the full moon turns white
I am going out to see what I can sow
I am going out to explore and discover new things
And I don't know where I'll go
I am unsure of where I will end up
And I don't know what I'll see
I am uncertain of what I will witness
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me
I will attempt to leave any negative experiences behind
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
Your gaze will track my movements, like the sun rising in the sky
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
As you observe me meander, you may curse the forces that govern our lives
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
I desire to live in the present moment, but those moments have passed
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Our goals and plans tend to endure longer than necessary
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
I am in a distant location, without any sounds or people nearby
You're still there
However, your presence still lingers within me
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you're still there
Despite the lack of options or time passing, my thoughts of you persist
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
While illuminated by the full moon, I pay attention to the flowing water
And in between the silence hear you calling me
Within the quietness, I sense your voice beckoning me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
Yet, I am uncertain of my current location and doubtful of my past actions
And If I come home how will I ever leave
Regardless, if I do return home, I fear I may never be able to leave my old ways behind

Shalalalaa a
When the thorn bush turns white that's when I'll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don't know where I'll go and I don't know what I'll see
But I'll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
'Cause all I want is here and now but it's already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding
No one around me and you're still there
Far far away, no choices passing
No time confounds me and you're still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don't know where I am and I don't trust who I've been
But if I come home how will I ever leave?

This song fits so well in the moody air the early 2000s evoked, wide empty vistas, dark alleys, full moons, early internet cites, the fashion, dead malls, and all things vampire.

My mom used to play the soundtrack for this movie on repeat during long car rides, and I learned to love it specifically for those memories. As someone who still has never actually watched the twilight movies, their soundtracks are all fantastic, especially the first one.
