Cover art for The Moon lyrics by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová

This song always makes me feel like sometimes you just have to give in and actually feel pain, even when it hurts.

"Cut the bonds with the moon..." in my opinion could mean a few things - gravity and the moon - let go and just feel without any tether to reality. Or it could also mean to let go of any romantic notions about what you're going through, too. The moon makes everyone romanticize things when you're outside.

Just my take.
