Moonracer Lyrics

Quiet is the night
I walk the heights looking for you
Surrender all my time
Bending my will just like this cellophane
Understand this mystery is
Far beyond my mental thinking
I know I need you here
I know I need you to move forward
Is this hopelessness?
Is it my obsession?
Quiet is your room
I remember the small space
Just above your bed
A single light on
A single light on
Now I know I'm gonna be your moon racer
Now I know I'm gonna be your moon racer
Your moon racer
I'm your moon racer
I'm your moon racer, your moon racer
Caught in a trap
I won't look down
I've got some miles to go still
Tiny daggers of hurt
Inch their way to the edge of my heart
It's ok
I'm the moon racer
I'm your moon racer
I'm the moon racer
I'm your moon
Racer
Hush now
I'm on the prowl
Hush now
I will track you down
Over miles and continents and spaces in between
You are my angel and I am your misfit king

Cover art for Moonracer lyrics by Kevin Max

I think this song is about the romantic relationship between the Christ archetype and the Satan archetype. Christ is represented as the misfit King Moonracer who seeks out their "angel" or soul mate (Satan archetype). The Christ archetype is so committed to seeking out the Satan archetype that they are willing to be caught in a trap of physical earthly flesh. The music video ends with the big bang followed quickly by the image of the fetus, representing the extreme lengths the Christ archetype will go to in order to be with theme Satan archetype. The Christ archetype is willing to create a universe of physical matter and be born into it in order to seek out the Satan archetype in the hopes of helping the Satan archetype achieve enlightenment and eternal happiness together. Presumably the Christ archetype is so committed to this goal that they have been reincarnated hundreds of times.

I think one of the earthly lives together is expanded upon in the song and it alludes to the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The small space just above her bed with a single light on paints an image of a sex worker or prostitute working under the red light. It's in this moment Jesus (Christ archetype) knows he will succeed in helping Mary (Satan archetype) in achieving enlightenment. There's a school of thought that sacred sexuality is the initiation for enlightenment. It's not the act of sex itself, but the love and understanding one attains when in a sexual relationship for selfless love. Selflessness, love, and knowledge (trinity) are the keys to enlightenment and escaping the cycles of karma to attain nirvana (nothingness/peace) after death.

My Interpretation

Alternatively, King Moonracer could be the Satan archetype who's searching for enlightenment (Christ archetype) and finds it in the arms of a lover (not necessarily Mary Magdalene). The details are flexible but the overarching theme is that of true love and inner peace.
