Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I’ll start shaking like the plane that I’m on
What more can I devote to you baby
While I whisk away the days as they come
How’d I never catch that
Issue that we laugh at
Now because we past that
Love me in my black hat
And I just hope it goes our way
Calm me down while you’re lifting me up
Anxious on me now but you’re giving these fucks
I don’t want you to leave me for yourself
My heart keeps beating with your help
Give a fuck again
I don’t understand
Shit go one way in your fucking mind
I got other plans
Pull my strings and I’ma snap
Karma rubberband
(Pull my strings and I’ma snap karma rubber band, karma rubber band)
I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
Thats when I tend to lose sight
Like who am I yeah
But you got your mood right
In the moonlight
Just be sure you got your shoes tied
‘Fore you go run, run, runnin’ away
Nothing to say
Stuck in a maze, I can feel it everyday
I get anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
That means I’m boutta lose sight, yeah
(Hmm oh, oh)
(Hmm oh, oh)
Hmm, not a chance that
You’re willing to fortify up
Our romance, yeah
Tip-toeing the borderline huh
I can’t stand, I can’t stand all the pain we’ve been causing
To ourselves know this shit could get exhausting
So live it up
Pop up, pop off, still don’t give a fuck
Giving up, couple hours past noon
It’s almost time for the moon yeah
I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
Thats when I tend to lose sight
Like who am I yeah
But you got your mood right
In the moonlight
Just be sure you got your shoes tied
‘Fore you go run, run, runnin’ away
Nothing to say
Stuck in a maze, I can feel it everyday
I get anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
That means I’m boutta lose sight, yeah
(Hmm oh, oh)
(Hmm oh, oh)
I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
Thats when I tend to lose sight
Like who am I yeah
But you got your mood right
In the moonlight
Just be sure you got your shoes tied
‘Fore you go run, run, runnin’ away
Nothing to say
Stuck in a maze, I can feel it everyday
I get anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
That means I’m boutta lose sight, yeah
(Hmm oh, oh)
(Hmm oh, oh)
(Hmm oh, oh)
(Hmm oh, oh)
The song "Moonlight" by Ty Lorenzo is about his anxiousness and restlessness, and how his partner helps him through it. The opening lines, "Smoke another rolled one Baby I’ll start shaking like the plane that I’m on," indicate that he is using marijuana to cope with his anxiety. However, he also acknowledges that his partner is the one who truly calms him down, as he sings "Calm me down while you’re lifting me up Anxious on me now but you’re giving these fucks." He wants to be in love and devoted to his partner, but his anxiety frequently gets in the way.
The chorus, "I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight/Thats when I tend to lose sight/Like who am I yeah/But you got your mood right/In the moonlight" showcases his reliance on the moon and the nighttime to help him through his anxiety. The moon represents a time of change for him, as he often loses sight and struggles with his identity during the nighttime. His partner's mood and presence help ground him during this time.
The bridge, "I can’t stand, I can’t stand all the pain we’ve been causing/To ourselves know this shit could get exhausting/So live it up/Pop up, pop off, still don’t give a fuck/Giving up, couple hours past noon/It’s almost time for the moon yeah" shows that he is aware of the toll his anxiety takes on himself and his relationship. However, he also wants to live in the moment and enjoy the time he has with his partner before the anxiety creeps back in.
Overall, "Moonlight" is an introspective and vulnerable portrayal of Ty Lorenzo's struggles with anxiety and how his partner helps him through it.

Smoke another rolled one
I am going to bide my time by smoking a joint
Baby I’ll start shaking like the plane that I’m on
I will tremble just like the aircraft that I am flying in
What more can I devote to you baby
What else can I give to you, my love?
While I whisk away the days as they come
I will take each day as it comes and make the most of it
How’d I never catch that
How did I not realize that before?
Issue that we laugh at
That particular problem that we used to laugh at
Now because we past that
We have moved beyond that issue now
Love me in my black hat
Love me no matter what I look like
I love you always
I will always love you
And I just hope it goes our way
I just hope that things work out for us
Calm me down while you’re lifting me up
You have the power to calm me down even as you uplift me
Anxious on me now but you’re giving these fucks
I am feeling anxious, but you still care about me and support me
I don’t want you to leave me for yourself
I do not want you to give up what you want for your own sake and leave me
My heart keeps beating with your help
My heart continues to beat because of you
Give a fuck again
I care again
I don’t understand
I do not comprehend
Shit go one way in your fucking mind
Things always seem to go one way in your mind
I got other plans
I have other intentions
Pull my strings and I’ma snap
If you control me too much, I will break
Karma rubberband
What goes around comes around
I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
I am eagerly awaiting the moonlight
Thats when I tend to lose sight
That is when I usually lose focus
Like who am I yeah
Like who am I really?
But you got your mood right
But you are in the right mood
Just be sure you got your shoes tied
Make sure you are ready before you go for it
‘Fore you go run, run, runnin’ away
Before you run away as fast as you can
Nothing to say
I do not have anything to say
Stuck in a maze, I can feel it everyday
I feel like I am trapped in a maze every day
That means I’m boutta lose sight, yeah
That means I am about to lose sight again
Hmm, not a chance that
There is absolutely no possibility that
You’re willing to fortify up
You are willing to strengthen our love
Our romance, yeah
Our love story, yes indeed
Tip-toeing the borderline huh
Tread lightly on the boundary line
I can’t stand, I can’t stand all the pain we’ve been causing
I cannot bear the pain that we are causing each other
To ourselves know this shit could get exhausting
We know that this situation could become very tiresome for ourselves
So live it up
So let us enjoy the moment
Pop up, pop off, still don’t give a fuck
Just have fun and be carefree
Giving up, couple hours past noon
Feeling tired, it's already afternoon
It’s almost time for the moon yeah
It is almost time for the moon to come up
I’m anxious for the moonlight, moonlight
I am eagerly awaiting the moonlight
Thats when I tend to lose sight
That is when I usually lose my focus
That means I’m boutta lose sight, yeah
That means I am about to lose my focus again
Hmm oh, oh
Hmm, hmm
