The Stranger's Hand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the night she born the lightning flashed and the thunder roar
But when they heard her cry -the clouds rolled back and the full moon fill the sky
Shinin` down in her eye
Can you hear her cry
Moon child
She always look so pale
She wrapped it up so tight -your mind come loose and you drift on out of sight
She`s a child of the night
Can you hear her cry
Moon child
....too high (she always tries to hide?)
The way she feel s on the darker side
She like to fall in love every time there`s a full moon up above
Then she`s out of this world
She`s another girl
And it makes her cry
I love to hear her cry
Moon Child
The Stranger's Hand's song "Moonchild" is a beautifully haunting tribute to a girl who seems to be a child of the night. The song's lyrics describe the moment of her birth, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, but when she cries, the clouds clear, and the full moon appears in the sky. The song follows her in her life, always looking pale and wearing a long white veil that seems to make people's minds loose and drift out of sight. She tries to hide her emotions, but when there is a full moon, she falls in love and becomes another person, and it makes her cry.
The song's lyrics seem to suggest that the girl is connected to the moon and her emotions are tied to its phases. The moon is often associated with femininity and emotions in literature and mythology, and in this case, it seems to have a powerful effect on the girl. The song expresses a deep sense of empathy and understanding for the girl, who seems to be an outsider, always hiding and trying to keep her emotions in check.
Overall, "Moonchild" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the beauty and mystery of this girl who seems to be connected to the moon. The music is haunting and dreamlike, with a slow and mournful melody that captures the song's themes perfectly.
