| Karen O – The Moon Song Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I think it’s written about dating someone with counter-dependence. When you are counter dependent you push away every form of a relationship as soon as you get close to them, even though it’s actually the last thing you want. It makes you feel detached and alone inside. She’s/He’s lying on the moon because, even though she/he feels close to him/her in proximity, she/he feels far away from him/her emotionally. It’s talking about how his/her ‘shadow’, aka guilt off being distant from the person she/he cares about the most, follows her/him around all day. She/He feels safe with him/her but her/his counter-dependence won’t let her/him open up to him/her leaving her/him feeling guilty and sad. She/He compares it to space because their relationship feels empty. The things she/he wishes she/he knew is why her/his brain does this to her/him, ultimately hurting her/his relationship unintentionally when her/his SO finally realize how she/he really feels. | |
