| | Lua Lyrics Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off But Julie knows a party at some actor's West side loft Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight So simple in the moonlight...

Review about Lua damn good | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/09 my interpretation is that he is singing to this girl that he loves, who is hasnt been through as much as he and is probably younger and is saying how hard life can be. how just because these drugs and pain allow you to escape from life, its really not worth it. and he understands her struggle, and the other guys shes been with have rejected her because she has such huge emotional problems they cant carry "so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it". hes not saying "stop drugs" or "what you are doing is wrong" but is just telling her what she already knows and how he understands. "ive got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train". hes not stopping her, because he knows it wont work, it never really works, people cant just stop someones life struggle, they have to decide to change themselves. very deep and accurate song in relation to a lot of teen struggles nowadays. congrats conor, on being brilliant What i think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/21/09 I think anyone can relate to this song, whether its about drugs or not. Basically it talks about how something you do at night, in the morning may seemed like not such a good idea. Parts of this song also relate to everyday life. However, this song i think is about a guy and a girl who are unsure of each others love, the girl is also unsure about herself. The guy thinks he knows the girl and what shes going through... "I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off But Julie knows a party at some actor's West side loft Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone" Basically the guy and girl are leaving from wherever, and all the taxis aren't stopping for them, so the guy suggests on going to some party where all the supplies are endless, but by morning everything will be used up. "When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit" Now he is talking about on days where he is lonley he can just sit in his apartment and reflect (this is why he mentions his reflections). And that something he thought that would be good at night, turned out looking like shit "And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" He is talking about his girlfriend who he feels isn't happy, and that she is hiding something. "You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag" She has an eating disorder and she goes to the bathroom to throw up, He says she looks skinny like a model. And he's been through smething like that (but not as bad) and she thinks shes got it bad. "I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane" they're gonna take drugs, to let go of the pain from there past insecurities... this is kinda like the circle of the day. In the morning they have insecurities (the girl with her weight) then by the end of the day they take drugs to forget about, and by the next day they dont feel good again. "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is" Hes not sure what started this cycle of theirs. Its not a good way to live, but its one way. Metaphor | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/17/09 This song could be thought of as a metaphor for our addiction to the material world and our self-images and our rejection of love. Night is a time of self-hate, ego, selfish feelings. Day is knowing the truth. What we do in the night time by day "looks like shit"-- whether it be wearing masks, being "complicated", or taking the "drugs" of the material world, what we do when we are not "conscious" is a violation of what we know to be right and true. This man is talking to his true love. By another token, this is a song about a man who's found his true love but can't bring himself around to believing in it. This interpretation doesn't hold up for as many of the lyrics but I still like it. meaning | Reviewer: Amber | 11/16/09 my class and I really scrutinized this song and we got the interpretation that the singer is seeing how a girl is going through a really hard time and she's beating up her body (being bulimic, drugs, alcohol, sex, etc) and the singer himself has gone through something similar (referring to the line "it takes one to know one kid") and although he's not 100% out of the dark of his time yet, he understands the struggle and wants to help this girl before she gets way too bad or kills herself from drugs and alcohol, etc. ("We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain") i think it's beautifully written although the message is very heavy. the melody and the way it's written helps to kind of cushion the message but it still comes across strong. that's my interpretation. Complications | Reviewer: Dallin | 10/24/09 This song can be interpreted in many ways. But my interpetation is a relationship that was simple, loving, and pure. The love they shared numbed the lonliness they might have felt at one point in their lives. The connection between them had to be broken at some point due to problems beyond their control. The writer is now contemplating the future and past during his last moments with his love. The way things were and now will be without the writer's love. I've listened to this song ten times in a row now... Syd & Nancy; Courtney & Kurt; Love & Addiction... | Reviewer: SullenLotus | 9/18/09 I first heard this song 2 days ago. I loved the entire cd but this song, in particular, moved me. I've listened to it a few times and I hate to psychoanalyze an artist's work - trying to sort of understand the artist as person because what he/she wrote. Better not to view it in that context. It is what it is. So I'm gonna take it for what it is...how I see it. Not knowing much about Oberst other than what I've read in the Rolling Stone and have heard through his music, I'm not going to say he wrote this song because of some experience in his life ....maybe it's just how he saw someone else's world. Here's my opinion. The song is a love story involving 3 parties. The guy, the girl, the drug...probably heroin. When 2 people are in a relationship and both of them are junkies, the drug will always take precedence. The guy and the girl enable each other and naturally, the relationship is unhealthy. When they are high and feeling fine, the world is warm - it's the only kind of world that they can TOLERATE because they've got too much baggage to actually fucking deal with the inevitable smack of reality that awakens them in the morning.....the depression, the crash, the come down, the self-hate, the fact that your drug is more important than anyone else, even yourself..."what is simple in the moonlight" of our 'comfortable numbness' morphs into a cluster-fucked sunrise. People are jogging, getting their coffee, going to work and you are laying in a dirty bed smoking a cigarette and reeking of alcohol....sometimes life is more simple when you keep yourself numb.....but the most beautiful part of the song, i felt was this: "And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss...so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs trying to lift it"...this makes me sad because it rings so true on a personal level...it's not about eating disorders...i can't tell you how many parties i've been to where skinny girls are coming out of the can with white shit on their nose insightful song | Reviewer: Adam | 9/13/09 "The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did" I like the reflective nature of this song. He is just recognizing the pattern... a pattern in the way we relate to others. He's not saying this is healthy, "just one way to live"...the tone is mournful and lonely. I like that he asks how did he get to this state. I think he captures a truth of human nature, that our pathology to a degree has been caused "reasons that have run away" but the painful feelings lead us to cope in ways that leave us no better off. I think of Cloud Cult's song "Take your medicine" and the line "I can't see them but they control my life." Guess | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/14/09 I have to agree with a quite few of you, but I wouldn't consider it being directly heroin. Just an addiction, sure, but there is more to that. "It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated," meaning that it was easy to be with that certain someone, but he was able to leave without any strings attached. I think that maybe it had to do with possibly being intoxicated with another person, being with them and come morning those feelings are quite as distinct as they may've been under the influence. not just about drugs | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 I think drugs/alcohol definitely play a role in this song but I don't think it is the main theme. I think the point is more that at night/when we party our lusts and carnal instincts are exacerbated through our lowered inhibitions via drugs/alcohol and we do things that we would not normally do while we are sober. This is easily seen through the lyrics "The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" and "It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated" Giving in to our desires is so easy at night when you don't have to think about the consequences but you can easily regret what you have done the next morning. I also wonder myself why people have such different night/day personas but it is easy to use nightlife/drugs/alcohol to express emotions that you repress during your everyday life. Glad for these who don't understand and hopefully never will | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/29/09 Every single line->drugs, can't some of you see? What has the f...in bulimia to do with the morning transforming all the easyness and happyness into mysery and heavyness. And hey, love and adictions are known to be the same and this love is pretty clear... >_< Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Review the song Lua The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
