This song is about the end of the world.

Moon' was two movements. The first bit was describing the end of the world and the destruction of your body an everything disintegrating and entropy… it's acceptance, a beautiful type of destruction, you're in a pacific state with no resentment or sorrow To me 'Moon' is like a film scene, you're walking and everything is collapsing around you, there are birds falling out of the sky and your teeth are falling out and everything is disintegrating into slurry. At the end there's a white light and you're accepting, and it's beautiful and still. Your fate is ineluctable, so you are, and you're content with it. In other songs there's a want for forgiveness in a lot of the tracks, or guilt or shame. There's a power behind those emotions that there isn't if you're just talking about more prosaic things.

teeth falling out in dreams signifies passage of time, an awareness that you're getting older
