| Bruno Mars – Moonshine Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I actually just created an account to say this seems to be 100% accurate to me. As a person with bipolar in one vein and alcoholism in the other I agree that when "the moment that you kiss my lips I start to feel wonderful...it's something incredible". From my alcoholic perspective, the thrill of drinking is cracking a bottle or putting it to your lips, not actually drinking or getting drunk ("take me to the stars") even though the escape from reality can be thrilling at times. When you mention joyful and sorrow in the same sentence, it's exactly like the love and hate relationship of alcoholism. I love alcohol, but love to hate it, and hate to love it. It seems to me the song was written as a broken love story in that Bruno had to let go of that love/hate relationship to move on and give himself a better and healthier life, but he will always remember the good times. Just like any broken relationship, whether it's a girl/guy/bottle. |
