Allegra Rosenberg explained in episode 82 of the podcast The Living Room that she wrote this song during the summer of 2015 in New York while interning at a music publicity company. The melodic movement was influenced by Mitski’s first record. It isn’t about anyone or anything, but is retroactively...
Hard be the heart of a carnivore
Who takes and does not give back
I am the heart of what's been done before
I think and can't relax
And I am made almost entirely of oranges
That peel themselves cleanly when I fall asleep
And you are the garden that I have long been looking for
And I plant my seeds beneath your compost heap
So be my one full moon
I will be back soon but not too soon
Oh be my shining stars
I'll be away
But I'll never be too far
Worse be the wear on my favorite shoes
They've stepped their last few steps
Only to get all the way to you
No need to head back west
And it is not impossible to believe in
The magic of geometry and gold
I do possess a finely tuned intelligence
That tells me all we'll do now is grow old
So be my one full moon
I will be back soon but not too soon
Oh be my shining stars
I'll be away
I'll be away
And I know I'm relentless
And my hope is that you'll forgive it
My mind is a menace
Once I saw how you were shining
I had to try and find it
So be my one full moon
I will be back soon but not too soon
Oh be my shining stars
I'll be away
Oh I'll be away
Be my one full moon
I will be back soon but not too soon
Oh be my shining stars
I'll be away
But I'll never be too far
My Full Moon was written by Allegra Rosenberg.
