Yoste Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know, I'm a mountain and I'm an animal
Walking on stones there's a crossing
I'm an animal
I'll hold to the line
Clawing like a wolf cub, hanging from your cuff
The water's at your knees love
Talking like a stranger uhuh
The water's at your knees love
Talking a stranger uhuh
It's a cool night
Farther my eyes
Hold the rope tight
Steady that light
I feel the calm before the low
I was broken long ago
I'll tell you if you want to know
The lyrics of Yoste's song Moon have a poetic and melancholic feel. The opening lines 'Wake up, Oh you're stuck on your own' implore the listener to awaken from their isolation, to stop being a prisoner to their own thoughts and reach out to others. The singer then refers to himself as both a mountain and an animal, which could be interpreted in different ways. Perhaps as a mountain, he is a source of strength and stability, while as an animal, he embodies a wild and unpredictable nature. The crossing of stones could represent a difficult path that he is crossing, and he reaffirms his resilience by stating 'I'll hold to the line'.
The next verse continues with the animal imagery, as he describes himself 'clawing like a wolf cub'. This image presents a vulnerable yet determined character, striving to overcome difficulties. The line 'The water's at your knees love' suggests that he is reaching out to someone, perhaps in a romantic sense, but the person he is reaching out to is hesitant, talking to him 'like a stranger'. The chorus repeats the call to be rescued, to be picked up, and to be recognized.
The bridge paints a picture of a calm before a storm, with the singer admitting to being 'broken long ago'. But he is willing to share his story, to reveal his vulnerability and show that he is not invincible. Overall, the lyrics of the song Moon express a desire for connection, a plea to be seen and heard, and a willingness to show one's true self despite the risks.
