Moonlight
Tribal Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear the sound waves by the seaside
We don't need to play for anyone
We don't need to play for anyone
We're jamming in the moonlight
Where the waves crash by the seaside
We don't need to play for anyone
We don't need to play for anyone
I like to get a peace of mind
In my own time
So roll one up, light it up
Cuz in the meantime
The rat race is going strong
And the people's minds are too far gone
So we don't need to play
We don't need to play nah
We don't need to play
We don't need to play for anyone
Nah we don't need to play for anyone
Can you ease, can you ease my mind?
Healing of herb, lift me up high
Away from the city, away from the sight
Of light pollution, just clear skies tonight
Blaze up the herb and light up the world
Tonight we play for no one but the plants and creatures
I see Jah glory from
The rise of the morning sun
The lyrics of Tribal Seeds's song Moonlight talk about finding peace and tranquility in the midst of a fast-paced and busy world. The song describes the experience of jamming and listening to sound waves by the seaside under the moonlight, away from the chaos and competition of the rat race.

The lyrics emphasize the idea that sometimes, it is necessary to take a break from the pressures of society and just be in the moment. The band suggests that playing music is not about impressing others or seeking attention. Instead, it is about finding your own peace and happiness in a world that can be overwhelming and stressful. The song depicts a sense of unity with nature and the universe, where there is no need to play for anyone but yourself.
Overall, Tribal Seeds's Moonlight is a call to pursue inner peace, and to go back to nature for healing and rejuvenation.

Leaving the urban environment for nature's tranquility
Of light pollution, just clear skies tonight
Enjoying celestial beauty without urban light interference
Blaze up the herb and light up the world
Smoking cannabis and reveling in its effects
Tonight we play for no one but the plants and creatures
Enjoying and honoring nature
I see Jah glory from
God's majesty is evident in
The rise of the morning sun
The beautiful sunrises that signal the beginning of a new day

This has been my daughters favorite song since she was an infant. Any time I played it she would instantly stop crying. She’s now 2 and anytime I put this song no matter where we are or what’s she’s doing she stops in her tracks to dance to it. The power of music is amazing.
