Lucky Charms
The Moldy Peaches Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a star steal my car just save me
On a roll sell my soul forgiveness
Crossed with red think I'm dead its over
Words you say leave my head or hold me
Holy ground cup of dirt down pavement
Smell your shirt and I hurt till tomorrow
I feel like I'm chasing the guy from Lucky Charms
Fell in love out of love still dreaming

Flying blue without out you slow motion
Baseball champs gothic vamps and stage fright
I love hard as a guard I'm crying
Now you're gone I'm a wave without direction
Baby born lost its way in the forest
I feel like I'm chasing the guy the from Lucky charms
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
Now I'm gone
All alone
All alone
All alone

Now I feel like I'm chasing the guy from Lucky charms
All alone
All alone
Leaving home

Leaving home
All alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Moldy Peaches' song Lucky Charms are very cryptic and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about a failed relationship and the aftermath that comes with it. The first verse discusses the idea of selling one's soul and begging forgiveness, which could be interpreted as the singer feeling guilty for something that happened in the relationship. The second verse mentions a sense of loss and confusion, which is echoed in the chorus when the singer states that they feel like they are chasing the guy from Lucky Charms. This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling like they are chasing something that they will never catch, similar to the way that the Lucky Charms mascot the leprechaun is always just out of reach.

In the third and final verse, the lyrics mention feeling lost and directionless, much like a baby that has lost its way in the forest. This imagery could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling lost in life after the end of a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "now I'm gone" and "all alone" at the end of the song emphasizes the loneliness and despair that the singer feels.

Overall, The Moldy Peaches' Lucky Charms has a haunting and melancholy feel to it, with lyrics that are open to interpretation and invite the listener to connect with the emotions being expressed.
