It's a Sin
The Moon Loungers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
Then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me
I didn't believe it
Father you fought me
'Cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to I
It's a sin
The Moon Loungers's song It's a Sin is a reflective song about regret and guilt. The main theme of the song is that the singer looks back on their life with a sense of shame because they have always been the one to blame for everything they long to do. The lyrics suggest that the singer has not led a clean life, and regardless of what they have done, every place they have been, and everything they have done, it is all sinful.
The lyrics also talk about how the singer was taught to be pure in thought and deed, but they failed to do so. The song touches on the idea of religion and seeking forgiveness from a higher power. The last stanza of the song suggests that the singer still doesn't understand why they are the way they are, and they still repeat their mistakes.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of remorse and regret. The emphasis on the word "sin" throughout the song indicates that the singer feels they have done something wrong, and they can't seem to escape their past mistakes.
