The Soft Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the burning, it won't stop
the air is all gone,
i'm falling and can't stop
the end is on my mind
the end is alright
the only chance i got is to elevate my mind
before i leave my side
the end is on my mind
the end is on my mind
the only chance i've got
is to elevate my mind
before i leave my side
i'm running out of time
alone
alone
alone
The lyrics of The Soft Moon's song Try seems to be about someone who is struggling to cope with their own thoughts and emotions. The first line, "alone to live with my own thoughts" suggests that the person is isolated and left with their own troubling thoughts. The line "the burning, it won't stop" could represent the intense pain and anguish the person is feeling. The following line "the air is all gone" could symbolize the suffocating feeling of being trapped in their own negative thoughts. The line "I'm falling and can't stop" suggests that the person may feel like they are unable to control their thoughts and emotions.
The next lines, "the end is on my mind, the end is alright" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a reference to suicide and the person coming to terms with their decision to end their life. Alternatively, it could represent the person's acceptance of the end of a relationship or a difficult situation. The line, "the only chance I've got is to elevate my mind before I leave my side" could suggest that the person is looking for a way to escape their negative thoughts and find some sense of peace before they take any action.
The repetition of the word "alone" at the end of the song emphasizes the isolation and loneliness the person is feeling. Overall, the lyrics of Try seem to explore the pain and struggle of someone who is dealing with their own inner demons.

I just discovered these guys about a week ago on Spotify and this was my favorite song... I can't believe I missed this on KEXP! Such an amazing band, I can't wait to see these guys in Seattle (hoping that they'll be in Seattle sometime soon after COVID-19), Jose Luis, you FUCKING ROCK man!
