Shoot the Moon
Voodoo Glow Skulls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stand all this common shit
Life's too fast for me
Everyone's trying so hard to impress
What is the real meaning of humanity
Morals and values are based upon
Your style of dress
Money in your pocket will become chump change
If we don't make any progress
Success and fitness are the trend of today
Infomercials keep us all in touch with modern technology
Let's shoot the moon! soon you will be shopping
Without leaving your front fucking door




The cost of living is never going away
Jobs are fading and poverty is on the rise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Shoot the Moon" by Voodoo Glow Skulls are a commentary on modern society's obsession with materialism and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The first few lines express the singer's disdain for the mundane and commonplace, and the sentiment that life is passing by too quickly. The following lines are a critique of the pressure to impress others with one's appearance and material possessions, and the lack of attention paid to one's true values and beliefs. The lines "Money in your pocket will become chump change" allude to the fleeting and superficial nature of material wealth.


The second verse continues this critique, with the assertion that success and fitness have become trendy and commercialized in our modern world. The reference to infomercials highlights the incessant marketing and advertising we are subjected to, and the way in which our lives are becoming increasingly digitized and isolated. The line "Let's shoot the moon!" can be interpreted as a call to action or rebellion against this consumerist culture. Finally, the lyrics touch on economic struggles, with the suggestion that poverty is increasing and job opportunities are decreasing.
