You Are the Moon is a song about the insecurities of the moon, the darkness of the night, and seeing yourself without burden, as beautiful. In the beginning the song talks about how the moon is all alone, except for gravity and stone. The moon can only see itself, its light and beauty, in lakes and seas. The moon's image of herself is skewed because all that she sees it those broken images. The first time I heard this song it reminded me instantly of a friend of mine who cannot see herself as beautiful (which doesn't seem to be that uncommon among teenage girls). The song has a very sad tune and it makes you empathize for the moon, or the person the moon represents. The last verse is what I wish I could do for my friend. So that the moon may see herself truly, a mirror is put in place of the sea. If I could do this for my friend she would see how beautiful she is, and be happy. I wish it were the easy. A truthful mirror would get inside your head and toss out a couple insecurities so that acceptance could have some room.
