Echo & The Bunnymen Lyrics


Echo And The Bunnymen emerged from the legendary late-70s
Liverpool punk scene, melding the rawness and vitriol of
CBGB-styled New York punk with 60s influences (most notably
The Doors and The Velvet Underground). For the first half
of the 80s, the band were accurately regarded as the
vanguards of English post-punk.

The songwriting team of Ian "Mac"
McCulloch and Will Sergeant has mangaged to escape such
easy pigeonholing, and has proven itself to be in the same
timeless league as Jagger/Richards, Lennon/McCartney, and
Reed/Cale. More...

Review about Echo & The Bunnymen songs
Absolutely timeless | Reviewer: LTM
    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

Crystal, to put it bluntly, you're insane. It's not that complicated...sex as a metaphor for death, death as a metaphor for sex. It's a common connection that has been used over and over throughout the history of mankind.

This song stands the test of time. It's nearly three decades old but sounds like it could've been written last year...and it's still much loved, by new and old fans of Echo & the Bunnymen alike. It's beautiful. Nothing not to like.

    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

I get the feeling that this song is about religion or "God" I get that same weird feeling when I hear Christian music playing somewhere. Christian songs always reference to "God" as "HIM" and other weird stuff like that. Either way I do not like the song at all.

It is simply about a person knowing his life is coming to an end. "Death" is personified.

    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

I love this song. i think it's about a boy and a girl, but the girl is in love with another boy, who is waiting for her to give herself to him. the first boy is kissed by the girl, to see if she loves him but she doesn't, she's just his friend. because of that he commits suicide, against her will and dies, and the song is kind of his last thoughts.

    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

Words are like fingerprints. I know exactly who you are. You aimed this song at me many times, but it hasn't a particle to do with...what'd ya call her, Elsa she-wolf of the SS, right? Yeah, the third verse to bedbugs an ballyhoo goes 'cigarettes and crewcuts/crewcuts and cigarettes, right? Yarrrr, hope ya make it back here to see this. UN? Really? I still have an invitation to a b-day party for Zane signed by Gavin and Isabella! Don't care for it the way you dislike lips of sugar. I regret giving you the power to hurt me, but it was fair to tell you the first day at Vernon mall-- YOU kept what hurts you a secret for months! Months! Okay, see how unfair? Ya coulda done better-- you thought I would be repelled? In the miserable condition I was in? Lost all friends after they found out what I did in AZ, and worse, shunned by family. That Dec night, you were the only one who had really talked to me in eighteen months. Still no excuse, I know. ...but you invited back to the Honda to make out...and then your home, and all the other secret places. How did you know I took her to union tower? If you saw me during those times, how could you keep it to yourself, and for use at some later time, like you did? So when johnny rotten came across the pond and ya lied about the deal, and all but dared me to spy on you, which, of course, I did. No more sex with you, because I saw how dirty that bloke's arse looked. I know cancer is caused by parasitic worms, in fact, it was prostitutes who taught me that....but I'm sure you were seeing through the eyes of your past, or some other clicheo.

I almost broke up with the girl I love today, but then this song came in my itunes on shuffle . Man I realized how much I love her and that I can“t live without her. Thanks to this song I wont make this mistake again.

I love this song too I used to play it over an over again especially when I was thinking about a special some after reading the other reviews I'm shocked! lol I thought it's was a love song!!! but in 2nd and 3rd person about a man loving a woman he can't have and the anguish it causes him and her leading him on or it could b about a werewolf lol

    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

i really thought the song was about rape actually. but the double death is much more meaningful. my apologies. a closest friend introduced me to this song. his attempts at suicide are endless. beautiful intro

    ------ About the song The Killing Moon performed by Echo & The Bunnymen

im 15, i wish i was around when this song came out, because its so close to my heart. the killing moon was the boy i love the most in the world's song- we loved it. we decided the song was about a girl and a boy who were in love, and the boy killed himself. perhaps they had a death pact, and the girl knows the boy will 'so soon take her', even though its 'against her will'
the girl sees the boy in her dreams, where he kisses her and lures her towards him. 'he will wait until, you give yourself to him'
this song is constantly playing on my stereo. the boy i love the most in the world- it is our song. the boy i love the most in the world killed himself two weeks ago. perhaps ill see him under a blue moon, or a starlit night where he'll cruelly kiss me one day.
