The First Full Moon Lyrics
I saw the first full moon
I saw the first part too
I've got a lot to lose
If I'm allowed to choose
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
I put away my clothes
I put the best thing on
I've got a lot to lose
If I'm allowed to choose
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
I saw the first part too
I've got a lot to lose
If I'm allowed to choose
Do you mean it?
I put the best thing on
I've got a lot to lose
If I'm allowed to choose
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?

Perhaps this is an allusion to creation and the choice man was givin between sin and the inverse. The choice that resulted in his fall and subsequent loss of eternal life.
Putting away of clothes, going back to the origonal trust in God without our own cover, our shame.
Do you mean it? Do you, God, mean that we have to die?
then,
Do you mean it? HAve you really come to save us?
The choice between salvation and otherwise.
This is vague, i feel like I'm groping in the dark.
I kinda feel like it's more of an existential song. Is he destined to make every move he makes or is it really his own free will that's guiding him.
sometimes i think sufjan's songs are so obscure there's no point in trying to figure out what he meant. awesome song though. sounds like a b-side to A Sun Came. anyone know for sure?
I interpret this from Adam's perspective. He saw the first full moon because he was the first human here.
He's thinking about his choices that he now has. God has taken them out of the dark. They have free will. "Do you mean it, God? We can choose?"
But, I agree with zachharrisment. It's very vague and mysterious.
