Moonlight
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry for my troubled mind
Troubled, troubled
Maybe I know where to find
My only love
When I'm going out tonight
Leave me, leave me
Nothing will stop me now
Don't stop me now

Watch me chasing the moonlight
Watch me running around
I've been searching a long time
For something to hold on, hold on to
Watch me chasing the moonlight
Watch me running around
I've been searching a long time
For something to hold on, hold on to

I will tell you not to wait
Tell you, tell you
Everything you truly hate
Nothing to say
But it's your heart that will break
So in the end
There's really nothing that will stop me now, stop me now
Stop me now, stop me now

Watch me chasing the moonlight
Watch me running around
I've been searching a long time
For something to hold on, hold on to
Watch me chasing the moonlight
Watch me running around
I've been searching a long time
For something to hold on, hold on to

Words without a meaning
Cracks without a ceiling
Not this time
The deeper I go in
The more I try to win
But not this time
If loving is a game
Then victory is my name
Well, not this time
Fake it 'til you make it
I'm not gonna take it
Not this time, not this time

Watch me chasing the moonlight
Watch me running around
'Cause I've been searching a long time
For something to hold on, hold on to

Watch me chasing the moonlight (watch me chasing the moonlight)
Watch me running around (watch me running around)
I've been searching a long time (searching a long time)
For something to hold on, hold on to
Watch me chasing the moonlight (watch me chasing the moonlight)




Watch me running around
I've been searching a long time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wolf's song "Moonlight" explore the idea of being alone in the darkness of the night, accompanied only by the stars and the mysterious man in the moon. The song sets a haunting and eerie atmosphere as the vocalist describes walking lost and astray in the darkness. The man in the moon is depicted as having a ghastly grin and cold eyes that cannot see, adding to the sense of unease and isolation.


The song explores the concept of shadows and the fear they can invoke in the darkness. The lyrics suggest that shadows can dance on the walls and creep up from behind when we are walking alone in the moonlight. However, the vocalist reassures the listener that they are not truly alone in the darkness, as they are accompanied by their own shadow. This line suggests that our own fears and insecurities can be just as scary as any threat we might encounter in the physical world.


Overall, "Moonlight" creates a dark and moody atmosphere that explores the feeling of being lost and alone in the darkness, while also acknowledging the fears and anxieties that can arise when we are confronted with our own shadows.

Feel it's dark embrace

Your all alone except a million stars in space
Although physically alone, the vastness of the universe presents a sublime company.

Wandering and confused while aimlessly moving forward.

The lunar visage gazes upon with a sinister smile.


With cold eyes that cannot see
Despite lacking eyesight, the moon somehow sees all.


Is it the echo of your footsteps that you hear
The sound of one's own movement can have a haunting quality in the silence of the night.


Or is it someone there?
The ambiguity of the environment leads to questioning the presence of others.


Shadows at night
Obscure shapes that lurk in the darkness.


Dance the walls when your out of sight
The absence of light creates an illusion of movement and activity by the hidden figures.


Creep up from behind

When you walk in the moonlight
Moving leisurely under the silvery glow of the moon.


I'm the one in from behind
The presence of a shadow represents the unknown darkness within oneself.


I'm your shadow in the night
The reflection of oneself, manifesting as an uninvited companion during a moonlit walk.


I am the dark side of you
The shadow represents the hidden, repressed aspect of one's persona.


Where you are I am too
The darkness is pervasive and follows the individual wherever they go.


Wherever you go I follow you
The shadow remains joined to the individual, linked by an inescapable bond.


When you walk in the pale moonlight
The dim light of the moon accentuates the haunting quality of the shadow and the night itself.
