Moon is mine
The Pillows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

白い野良犬 キミを知ってるかのように吠える
黒いカラスはボクらの気を引くように歌う

眩しい一日を乗り切って
街のビル畑かきわけて行こう

goodbye sunshine ‘夜’ってだけで楽しい
Hello, moonlight キミと歩く

青いリンゴをキミは一口かじって笑う
七色の水溜まりでボクらは昨日よりグッと近づいた

二人の時を増やせるなら
ボクはドラキュラに噛まれたっていいぜ

goodbye sunshine ‘夜’ってだけで楽しい
Hello,moonlight キミと歩く

眩しい一日を乗り切って
街のビル畑かきわけて行こう

goodbye sunshine ‘夜’ってだけで楽しい
Hello,moonlight キミと歩く





come on starlight ふれあう夢見て
good night, sleeptight キミと眠る

Overall Meaning

The song "Moon is mine" by The Pillows essentially talks about enjoying solitary moments amidst the chaos of the city life with its crowds and hustle-bustle. It starts with the white stray dog that is barking as if it knows the listener, while the black crow is singing to attract their attention. It reflects on the fact that even though we may feel alone at times, nature is always there around us.


The first verse sets the stage for the rest of the song, where the intention is to get through the day and find some solace by walking under the moonlight with someone special. The lyrics then speak of sharing a blue apple and finding joy in the little things in life, like admiring the seven colors of a rainbow water puddle. In the last verse, the singer expresses that he would even become a vampire if it helps to spend more time with the other person. The repeated lines, "Goodbye sunshine, hello, moonlight" emphasizes the fact that the night brings joy to the singer, and that simply walking with the loved one under the moonlight is all that he desires.


Overall, the song emphasizes finding joy and contentment in simple things, and escaping from the complexities of the world by taking comfort in nature and loved ones.
