To The Moon
Wiretree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're coming down
You don't know what you're doing now
Your thoughts begin to lose control somehow
You pick yourself up off the ground
Don't move too fast don't make a sound
Your eyes won't hide the lies, they can see
Saturdays will make you spin
And holidays, they seem to come so slow
And when you make the same mistake
Don't give them more than you can take
All things will pass, all things will come your way
I don't know the reasons why
They'll keep it up and tell you lies
I wish there was something you could do
When they come along the way
You'll surely need to come and stay
I would love to take you to the moon
And satellites, they look at you
Across the sky, around the moon
There's fireflies, they light up your pathway
Don't think too much how bad it feels
It won't take long for you to heal
Your mind makes up stories in your head
I don't know the reasons why
They'll keep it up and tell you lies
I wish there was something you could do
And when they'll come along the way
You surely would come and stay
I would love to take you to the moon
The song "To the Moon" by Wiretree is a melancholic tune that revolves around the idea of losing control and picking oneself up after a fall. The first verse highlights the feeling of confusion and uncertainty that comes with making mistakes and losing control over one's thoughts. The lines "Your thoughts begin to lose control somehow" and "Your eyes won't hide the lies, they can see" beautifully exemplify this idea. Despite the feeling of falling, the chorus offers a ray of hope with the line "All things will pass, all things will come your way." The song then goes on to explore the themes of healing, love, and the longing for escape from the chaos of life. The line "I would love to take you to the moon" suggests the desire to escape from the pain and suffering of the world and find solace in a place of tranquility and beauty.
The song's overall mood is one of sadness and introspection, yet it manages to offer a glimmer of hope and optimism. The lyrics seem to suggest that no matter how bad things get, there is always a chance for healing and happiness. The poignant melody and poignant lyrics make this song a perfect choice for anyone feeling lost or struggling in life.
