Angels on the Moon Lyrics
Do you dream
That the world will know your name
So tell me your name
And do you care
About all the little things
Or anything at all
I want to feel
All the chemicals inside
I want to feel
I want a sunburn
Just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
And don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
And do you believe
In the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe
And do you know
That every day's the first
Of the rest of your life
And don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us
To all of us
And don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
Yeah you can tell me all your thoughts
About the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to
When no one's left to take your side
Don't tell me where the road is
'Cause I just don't want to know
No I don't want to know
And don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying, yeah
Don't tell me if I'm dying
That the world will know your name
So tell me your name
And do you care
About all the little things
Or anything at all
I want to feel
All the chemicals inside
I want to feel
I want a sunburn
Just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
In the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe
And do you know
That every day's the first
Of the rest of your life
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us
To all of us
'Cause I don't want to know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
About the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to
When no one's left to take your side
Don't tell me where the road is
'Cause I just don't want to know
No I don't want to know
Don't tell me if I'm dying, yeah
Don't tell me if I'm dying

This song's got a pretty obvious meaning if you read between the lines. It's asking whether or not you're happy with your life, and if you're doing what you want to do in life. It's also about the fact that everyone you know has lost someone, is missing someone, and is in love with someone, and you have to keep that in mind. The chorus is about how we're all only human in the end, and we have to deal with that.
Angels on the moon is about cancer. The band stated that in a interview. But really, you can see it however you want. for me angels on the moon is about getting out there and just living on the most intense level because you know that you might not be able to do those things tomorrow. I absolutely adore this song! It's beautiful and soulful
