No Moon At All
Warren Barker and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all way up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
No moon at all
The song "No Moon At All" talks about a dark, starless night when there is no moon to give light to the surroundings. The first few lines describe the darkness of the night, and how even the fireflies have stopped shining. There is no light in the sky, and everything around seems invisible. However, this scenario provides the perfect opportunity for the lovers to park and enjoy their privacy. As there is no moon, they will not be disturbed by anyone and can embrace their love without anyone watching them.
The second verse talks about how despite the absence of the moon, they don't need it to set up the atmosphere for love. One kiss is enough to develop the right mood and to make the night perfect for their love. They don't want any interference from anything else, like the bright moonlight.
The chorus repeats that there is no moonlight tonight, and this situation is not what was expected but is still perfect for their love. The song emphasizes that the absence of light can create the perfect ambiance for love.
