This song is about the Maia Tilion from Tolkien's legendarium. In his youth Tilion was a hunter and the Valar choose him to guide the vessel of the moon. At the same time, Arien, another Maia, was chossen to guide the vessel of the sun. In simmalirion Tilion is said to have been in love with Arien and he keeps chasing her across the sky.
"Tolkien portrays Tilion as reckless at times, and as one who does not always follow the correct path. This causes the Moon to not always be in the sky at the same time as the Sun or to not appear at all."
