I Have the Moon You Have the Internet
The Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we've been burned for many crimes
We have ended many lives
But we never really died
You have the sun, I have the moon
You have to fly around the world all day
I'd like to come and comfort you
But I'd be blinded by the blue
You have the sun, I have the moon
You're bound to die under the sun
And I'll be doomed to carry on
You have become like other men
But let me kiss you once again
You have the sun, I have the moon
The Field's song "I Have the Moon You Have the Internet" is a captivating piece that speaks to the inevitability of time and the constant cycle of life and death. The opening lines suggest a connection to the past, where humans have experienced triumphs and failures, resulting in their demise. However, the lyrics imply that even though we have faced physical death, our existence continues in some way.
The following lyrics, "You have the sun, I have the moon," allude to the different paths people take in life. The sun represents the busy, work-driven lifestyle that society adheres to, while the moon represents a more relaxed, introspective lifestyle. The lines "You have to fly around the world all day/To keep the sun upon your face" suggest the constant effort that one must exert to maintain their success and status in life. On the other hand, the singer, who has chosen a different path, cannot offer the same level of support to their counterpart, as they would be blinded by the sun.
The last verse speaks to the inevitability of death, and how it affects people differently. The lines, "You're bound to die under the sun/And I'll be doomed to carry on" suggest that society's emphasis on success is ultimately futile, as death is inevitable. However, the singer's desire to reconnect with their counterpart and "kiss [them] once again," shows that even in the face of death, human connections and relationships are still essential.
