The Soft Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you just can't hold on, and the weight is too strong, I'll be there to break the fall.
When you feel confused by the world and all it's mysteries
I can only hope you remember all the simple things.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
What if it was easy as turning back the hands at time.
I wouldn't change a thing.
And I just wanna let you know, I'll never let you go.
You'll always be a part of me.
When you feel confused by the world and all it's mysteries
I can only hope you remember all the simple things.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
So complete, so complete.
You're all I never need.
You're here with me right now.
You're here in my heart now.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
Like was a heartbeat without heartland
Was a hurricane without the rain
Was the moon without the stars
That's how I feels when we're apart.
The Soft Moon's song "Without" is a poignant and emotional tribute to the importance of a significant other in one's life. The lyrics describe the overwhelming feeling of emptiness and isolation that comes with being apart from a loved one. The lines "Like was a heartbeat without heartland, was a hurricane without the rain, was the moon without the stars" are particularly impactful, expressing the idea that life loses its meaning when one is separated from their partner. The song suggests that love is the foundation upon which everything else in life is built, and it is impossible to imagine life without that one special person. The lyrics also offer reassurance and comfort, with lines like "When you just can't hold on, and the weight is too strong, I'll be there to break the fall," conveying the idea that the singer will always be a source of strength and support for his partner.
The song's melancholic and haunting melody perfectly captures the sense of longing and yearning that runs throughout the lyrics. The haunting synth-pop soundscape creates a sense of dark, brooding intensity that perfectly complements the emotional weight of the lyrics. The repeated chant of "like was a heartbeat without heartland," serves almost as a mantra, emphasizing the emptiness and hollowness that the singer feels without his lover.
