The Drums Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't just kill the bad part
Return a good boy
Darling, you can be so unforgiving,
You can be so unloving,
You can be misunderstanding
But I don't know how to feel without your love
So tell me what to do
It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin'?
Oh baby, I thought that you forgave me,
I thought that you still loved me,
Don't you need me
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
I want it forever
It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin'?
The Drums' song "Me And The Moon" is a melancholy love song that mourns a lost relationship. The lyrics speak of wanting to be forgiven for past wrongs and longing for the return of the love that was once there. The opening lyrics express a desire to remove the bad parts of oneself that may have contributed to the relationship's downfall. But it's ultimately a futile wish as the singer knows that he cannot change who he is entirely.
The chorus highlights the beauty of the night sky, juxtaposing it with the pain of the singer's situation. He longs for his partner's love but feels disconnected from her. He sees her as unforgiving, misunderstanding, and unloving, yet he confesses that he doesn't know how to live without her love. In the verses, the singer expresses his pain and confusion while asking for guidance and affection from his partner. He questions her love for him and pleads with her to forgive him.
Overall, "Me And The Moon" is a bittersweet depiction of a broken relationship, highlighting the complexities of relationships' ups and downs. The song conveys a sense of longing for something that may never return, and the singer grapples with feelings of sadness and desire.

I listened to this song with a friend named Gavin after my first love dumped me. I was 17, I learned my mom had bpd and that's when I learned that true love is loving yourself no matter how many miles you travel, and how many years go by. No one's going to love you if you don't try to love yourself. Also, first love is always the hardest. Esp when it's not mutual.
@dfun3158
"WHEN IT'S NOT MUTUAL" got me feel
@MiguelAngel-ir1ir
True love is Gavin
@davidtrejo6087
Amen to that girl
