Fever Moon Lyrics

Cover art for Fever Moon lyrics by Kevin Devine

This song is obviously about sex.

"But I can't know you even when you're in my arms." <-- Perhaps it's a forbidden relationship?

"You're quick sand I work and fight but just sink deeper in the end And every morning say I won't get stuck again But by nightfall baby here I always am." <-- This part is fairly obvious. He doesn't want to be in the relationship, but keeps coming back.

"I'm bound up in you We push til you're through Lit up with proof." <-- Sex. The 'We push til you're through' bit is rather confusing. The only thing that makes sense to me is gay sex. A female wouldn't have to 'get through', but if they're 'pushing' until they 'get through'...Or maybe it has an alternate meaning, I'm not all that sure. The lit up with proof bit could signify the afterglow. The bound up part sounds like their limbs are tangled, hence sex.

"The bad decision that I lie here waiting on Staring down your next mistake can take so long When I hear your foot steps babe, I don't care that it's wrong" <-- He doesn't care that the relationship is forbidden, or that he shouldn't be there. :) Which I think is rather sweet, tbh. :D

I really love this song, and Kevin in general. <3
