“Moon” is track #9 on Sia’s third solo album Colour the Small One. Sia plays glockenspiel on the song.
Lyrically the song is about failing to accept and cope with the end of a relationship. Sia is embodied by the Moon, whilst her loved one is represented by the Earth.
[Verse 1]
I watch you spin from afar
I drink you in and breath you out
I'm camouflaged by the timeline
I'm camouflaged when the sun shines
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Two ships passing in the night
Two lips pressing ground the tides
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
[Verse 2]
I long to be apart
I isolate my heart
You've drawn me into your world
Now I too spin limbless
[Pre-Chorus 2]
One wide hand clapping where's the wind
I stand snapping at your distant wings
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
