Moonshine Lyrics

Another great song by the Low Life...maybe even their best in terms of meaning and how deep and passionate this band can be. This song can have many interpretations and I wish people would talk about it more. To me its about a person who is lost between reality, a dream and a drunken stuper. So many interesting lyrics, one of the best is : "I don't ever want to love and find myself in love." He is afraid if he starts to love someone he will actually fall in love and get hurt again, and thats why he drinks to make himself numb to those feelings. But its ironic because when he dies, he doesn't want to realize he is already dead inside. So there is a lot of internal conflict withtin this song.

I agree completely. I have been listening to this song since i was 12. I didnt always understand the lyrics but the sound itself was enough to make it one of my favorite songs. As i finally grew to understand the meaning and depth of the song I realized the genius behind the songwriting. I always interpreted the lyrics as an appreciation for the simplicities and consistencies of everyday life. It also acknowledges that life is harsh but its better to live for the moment than to dream about what might be as life passes you by.
