It should be "beneath the Lunar Light" even though the video says "luna alight".

I think the song has a lot to do with longing for that special person, but the singer has realized that all they can do is wait for that person to come around and see the love they both can/should share.

"a flatliner for a heartkiller" is the girl has killed his heart, broke it because she was unsure about their love. She had "the fear of failing". Hes dead romantically, flatlined out. but like Lazarus, who rose from the dead, and Frankenstein, who came to life through a single spark, there can be the spark of life/love that brings it back. And he's "waiting, anticipating" with the belief of Love that it can still be.

"Top hats off to the return, of the beat to lick a wound" I see as maybe she comes back around once in a while and they see the love again, however painfully so (tops)hats off (cheers) to such an event, but its "cursed for some and blessed for a few" because it lasts only a short while before she goes again. He tries to tell her "It doesn’t have to make any sense at all" come along with me for the ride and we'll fall in love. "I'm crawling out of patience baby" = I can't take this weak game of cat and mouse any longer.

Overall, I'm REALLY diggin this song even though the first 30 second clip worried me. lol I can't wait for the album!!

the album's booklet says too that it's 'luna alight' and to me personally it sounds like it. wouldn't be a suprise if it's another wordplay, screamworks has lots of them if you start looking into them

Frankenstein is actually Dr Victor Frankenstein, Valo is not referring to the monster, but the scientist who bought the monster to life.
