The Killing Moon Lyrics

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

What is the Meaning of The Killing Moon?

In a hauntingly poetic narrative, Echo & The Bunnymen explore themes of fate, love, and inevitability. The lyrics depict a deep sense of surrender to destiny, as the protagonist feels an inescapable connection to another under the ethereal glow of a blue moon 🌙. This relationship is marked by both enchantment and melancholy, reflecting on how fate operates against one's will. The "killing time" metaphor suggests that certain moments are predestined, carrying a weight of inevitability that one cannot escape. Ultimately, the song portrays the struggle between free will and predestination, where love becomes an act of surrender to forces beyond our control 💫. #FateVsFreeWill #EtherealLove
