Moonlight
Thirdmoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frozen weeps rain in mournful clouds
Clandestine scars; the picture that bleed in me
Delirious equilibrium of abandon seas
Oh caressing grace, come forth into me
Enshrine my marbled heart
Snow that bleed the enlighted symbols
Firmamental ruins, enshrined by the shimmering moonlight
Dancing across silent silver waves
Over forsaken whispering angels remains
And beneath the sweet caress of dreaming shadows
Mourn sproud up to monumental pain
Flowing cascades of silver scars
Shall wipe away all my tears
Mesmerized by the darken moonlight
The lyrics to Thirdmoon's song "Moonlight" are filled with melancholy and longing. The opening lines "Lost in tears beyond tears, frozen weeps rain in mournful clouds" suggest a profound sadness that is beyond expression, and the "clandestine scars" and "delirious equilibrium" allude to a hidden pain that is always present. The singer seems to be pleading with the moon - "oh caressing grace, come forth into me" - perhaps seeking some kind of solace or catharsis from the immortal celestial body.
The imagery in the song is highly evocative, painting a picture of a desolate landscape populated only by "forsaken whispering angels remains". There is a sense of isolation and abandonment, as if the singer is the only human left in a world that has ceased to care. The final lines - "mesmerized by the darken moonlight" - suggest a certain resignation, as if the singer has come to accept their pain and sorrow as an integral part of their existence.
Line by Line Meaning
Lost in tears beyond tears
I am so overwhelmed with emotion that I cannot even express it through tears
Frozen weeps rain in mournful clouds
My sadness is so immense that even the weather seems to reflect it
Clandestine scars; the picture that bleed in me
I have hidden emotional wounds that continue to cause me pain
Delirious equilibrium of abandon seas
My emotions are in a chaotic state, just like a stormy sea
Oh caressing grace, come forth into me
I am reaching out for comfort and support from a higher power
Enshrine my marbled heart
I want my heart to be protected and healed
Snow that bleed the enlighted symbols
The beauty of nature can also cause pain and provoke reflection
Moon! Oh hear my call
I am calling out to the moon as a symbol of guidance and hope
Firmamental ruins, enshrined by the shimmering moonlight
Even destruction can have a certain beauty when illuminated by the moon
Dancing across silent silver waves
The peacefulness of the waves is a source of comfort and inspiration
Over forsaken whispering angels remains
The remains of those who have passed can still hold a powerful presence
And beneath the sweet caress of dreaming shadows
Even in the darkness, there is a sense of comfort and protection
Mourn sproud up to monumental pain
The intensity of my sorrow is overwhelming
Flowing cascades of silver scars
My emotional wounds seem to be never-ending and constantly flowing
Shall wipe away all my tears
I have hope that my pain will eventually fade and be healed
Mesmerized by the darken moonlight
Despite the darkness, there is still a sense of awe and beauty in the world
