Blue Moon
The Mighty Echoes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold

I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Overall Meaning

The Mighty Echoes's song "Blue Moon" revolves around the theme of longing for companionship and love. The singer is standing alone under the blue moon, without a dream or a love of their own. The blue moon, being a rare occurrence, is symbolic of the singer's loneliness and desire for something special in their life. The moon heard the singer's prayer for someone to love and care for, and then suddenly, the perfect person appeared before them. The singer was taken aback when someone whispered in their ear, asking for adoration. The moon mysteriously turned to gold as though granting the singer's wish.

The song's lyrics highlight the power of the blue moon, which is often associated with mysticism and magic. It portrays how our deepest desires can be fulfilled when we put them out into the universe. The sudden appearance of the perfect person in the singer's life is presented as if it were a miracle, emphasizing the power of manifestation. Ultimately, the change from the blue moon to the golden moon implies that the singer's life has taken a positive turn. The song ends on a hopeful note, indicating that the singer is no longer alone, without a dream or a love of their own.
