Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Veins of glass, paper skin
I′m torn
Bones to ash
When I'm gone please don′t mourn
This will pass
I don't belong here anymore

Poison love
Our memories burn
My mind
What's it worth
Why′d you go and waste my time
Why′d you burn
The bridge that I built for you

Better on my own
Think we need some space
She don't love me anymore
I can see it in her face
Felt our love die
Keep on pushing me away
I can′t make you smile like I used to anyways

Whatever you're looking for I hope that you find
Everything I couldn′t give you, even though I tired
Spinning back clocks, thinking I could change time
I wish I could erase all our memories from my mind

Down, down, down
Words you say go round, round, round
In my head, it's all I hear
Anymore

Veins of glass, paper skin
I′m torn
Bones to ash
When I'm gone please don't mourn
This will pass
I don′t belong here anymore

Poison love
Our memories burn
My mind
What′s it worth
Why'd you go and waste my time
Why′d you burn
The bridge that I built for you

Two stones, one bird
Where'd the love go
Pain with every heartbeat, stop my blood flow
Story of my life, what a dumb book
I hate what′s in the mirror, so I don't look

They say there′s greener grass of the other side
Gave water to my garden, but the flowers died
The moon looks huge in the night sky
I must look so small from God's eyes

Down, down, down
Words you say go round, round, round
In my head, it's all I hear
Anymore

Veins of glass, paper skin
I′m torn
Bones to ash
When I′m gone please don't mourn
This will pass
I don′t belong here anymore

Poison love
Our memories burn
My mind
What's it worth
Why′d you go and waste my time




Why'd you burn
The bridge that I built for you

Overall Meaning

In Lund's song "Moon," the lyrics explore themes of heartbreak, regret, and the struggle to move on from a toxic past relationship. The opening lines "Veins of glass, paper skin, I'm torn, bones to ash" suggest vulnerability and fragility. The singer feels broken after the end of the relationship, with nothing left of themselves but ashes. The sentiment "when I'm gone please don't mourn, this will pass, I don't belong here anymore" suggests the singer is ready to move forward from the relationship and leave it behind them.


The lyrics "poison love, our memories burn my mind, what's it worth, why'd you go and waste my time, why'd you burn the bridge that I built for you" seem to express the hurt and betrayal that the singer feels toward their ex-partner. They feel as though the relationship was a poisonous one and that their memories of it only lead to pain. The question of "why'd you go and waste my time" is a desperate plea for answers and closure.


The lyric "Better on my own, think we need some space, she don't love me anymore, I can see it in her face" is a statement of the singer's realization that the relationship is over and their acceptance of that fact. They know that they are better off alone and that their ex-partner no longer loves them. The chorus "veins of glass, paper skin, I'm torn, bones to ash, when I'm gone please don't mourn, this will pass, I don't belong here anymore" is a repetition of the opening lines as a reminder that the singer is ready to move forward and leave the past behind.

Lyrics:

Veins of glass, paper skin, I'm torn.
Bones to ash, when I'm gone, please don't mourn.
This'll pass, I dont belong here anymore.

Poison love, our memories burn, my mind.
Whats it worth? Why'd you go and waste my time?
Why'd you burn, the bridge that I built for you?

Better on my own, think we need some space.
She don't love me anymore, I can see it in her face.
Felt our love die, keep on pushing me away.
I cant make her smile like I used to anyways.
Whatever you're looking for, I hope that you find.
Everything I couldn't give you even though I tried.
Spinning back clocks, thinking I can change time.
I wish I could erase all our memories from my mind.

Down Down Down
Words you say go; round, round, round,
in my head, thats all I hear anymore.

Veins of glass, paper skin, I'm torn.
Bones to ash, when I'm gone, please don't mourn.
This'll pass, I dont belong here anymore.
Poison love, our memories burn, my mind.
Whats it worth? Why'd you go and waste my time.
Why'd you burn, the bridge that I built for you.

Two stones, one bird, where'd the love go?
Pain with every heartbeat, stop my blood flow.
Story of my life, what a dumb book.
I hate whats in the mirror so I dont look.
They say there's greener grass on the other side.
Give water to my garden but the flowers die.
The moon looks huge in the night sky.
I must look so small from gods eyes.

Down Down Down
Words you say go; round, round, round,
in my head, thats all I hear anymore.

Veins of glass, paper skin, I'm torn.
Bones to ash, when I'm gone, please don't mourn.
This'll pass, I dont belong here anymore.
Poison love, our memories burn, my mind.
Whats it worth? Why'd you go and waste my time.
Why'd you burn, the bridge that I built for you.

God, these are beautiful.
