Lyrics: o brand new moon, reveal to me your cyclic ways tell me how you still feel sane when you’re destined to repeat the same you’re always so bright, it hurts always calling out to me show me how to set myself free before i become a devotee oh, im a fool what else is new? gasping for air, but it’s all an illusion i want the truth, real enough to chew the lighter side is… something inside me? don’t be scared girl, it’s just your body isn’t it useless for me to continue on like this? why am i sorry? hanging above me, that played-out story even alone, i see a familiar home a night sky bathed in starlight even alone, i’ll never go back home my moon that burns like sunlight o darkened moon, reveal to me your cyclic ways tell me how you still feel sane when you’re destined to repeat the same you’re always so grim, it hurts always calling out to me show me how to set myself free before i become a devotee desolate, in an altered state use your voice and become a crescendo less human every day, feel another force at play submit yourself to their will now o cyclic moon, reveal to me your stagnant ways tell me how you still feel sane how do you still feel sane...? oh, im a fool what else is new? gasping for air, but it’s all an illusion i want the truth, real enough to chew the darker side is… what is inside me? souls grow weary stuck inside a body deep rooted sorrow seems to be another lonely day what do you want from me? hanging above me, that played-out story despite where i go, i’m trapped in familiar glow the limelight’s like a birthright even alone, i’ll never go back home my moon that hues my nightmares what does it look like? brand new life in a brand new body isn’t it useless for me to continue on like this? where am i running? always above me, even when i’m hurting without relief, i live in highlight grief i’ve really become weak... something inside me? don’t be scared girl, it’s just your body isn’t it useless for me to continue on like this? why am i sorry? hanging above me, that played-out story even alone, i see a familiar home a night sky bathed in starlight even alone, i’ll never go back home my moon that burns like sunlight
I DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS ON MY RECOMMENDATIONS (PROBABLY BC I LISTEN TO GHOST AND VANE TBH) BUT THE FIRST FEW SECONDS HAD ME HOOKED WOW THIS IS JUST GREAT
wait until I analyze this whole song in depth okay I'm back and also I lied it isn't in depth but basically my interpretation of the song is someone questioning the cycle of abuse. "you're always so bright, it hurts always calling out to me show me how to set myself free before I become a devotee" basically her saying that the path for her future is already paved by her past (also emphasized in the line "hanging above me, the played out story"). she wants to be set free from this path and doesn't want to end up like her abuser(s). "the lighter side is... something inside me? don't be scared girl it's just your body isn't it useless? for me to continue on like this?" her realizing (or being told by a peer) that the solution to breaking the pattern is her and her own will. nobody else can help her if she doesn't make the effort herself. the lighter side truly is something inside of her. the second line seems to be a peer (or maybe "the moon" in the symbolism of the song!) telling her that she shouldn't be scared, because this is just her body. she feels fed up with herself for reacting only with negativity as a defense mechanism, but whoever(whatever) is telling her this is reminding her that even though her actions are her own responsibility, she shouldn't be scared of facing the issue head on, because she doesn't hold any control over her feelings. she even goes on to ask herself "why am I sorry?" as if pushing this narrative. "desolate, in an altered state use your voice and become a crescendo less human every day, feel another force at play submit yourself to their will now" this line shows her questioning her humanity. "desolate, in an altered state" desolate literally refers to something devoid of humanity and of "bleak and dismal emptiness" and the line following directly after "in an altered state" which I believe is her saying she may have been human at one point but is in such an altered state she can never return to the point of "humanity" "use your voice and become a crescendo" is an interesting line as well that I'm probably way overanalyzing. but basically, a crescendo is gradually reaching the highest point in a certain sound. so like the absolute peak. it's interesting how Gumi no longer seperates her humanity and the things she does. in this line technically instead of saying "become a crescendo" logically she would say "reach a crescendo" however her issues have become so bad she is no longer able to define herself by her humanity. since the crescendo she is reaching is the most intensive thing she is doing at that moment, that's all she can feel herself in. in that moment, she IS a crescendo. "less human everyday, feel another force at play" like most of this song is, this line questions her ability of free will. in Gumi's mind her not having free will is basically like her not being a human being. "submit yourself to their will now" literally her just telling herself to give up and succumb to her thoughts. I also really like the line "souls grow weary trapped inside a body" but I'm unsure how to insert it into my theory so this is just like an honorable mention "the limelight’s like a birthright" I love this line so much I wanna eat it anyways this line describes how Gumi feels like she was born broken, and being broken is a "birthright". also, limelight is being the center of public attention, so basically she's saying tha in the same way that the results of her abuse feel like a birthright, the reactions of the public to her trauma responses also feel like a birthright. great line anyways "even alone I'll never go back home my moon that hues my nightmares" she will always have the memories of her trauma. it will never un-happen to her just by her recovering. even if she recovers, she'll never fully return to what she once was "where am I running? always above me, even when I'm hurting without relief, I live in highlight grief I've really become weak..." Gumi asks herself where she's running to and realizes no matter where she runs her grief will always be above her and if she doesn't address it she will succumb to it. she also calls herself weak for not realizing sooner hope you liked my supa dupa analysis of your song and sorry it's tiny I was gonna analyze all the lyricsssss but I'm sleepy and it's 2am nighty night
Was a little noisy the first time I heard it but now, ooooh boy it's so fun to listen to. I feel that all your songs register on that scale differently, but anyway! Thanks for the bop Friend!
Fun fact: i first ended up getting into your music (and subsequently other creators) because i was mad that all of my friends would take songs that i resonated with and apply them to their ocs so i looked up a voice (don't remember who) and sorted by new so here we are.
this song feels like it's talking about like, a girl who has two souls inside her; one her own and another foreign to her. the "moon" imagery referring to the lighter side (the girl's soul, the "observable" one), and the darker side (the foreign soul, the "unobservable" one). the foreign soul being inhuman; something beyond what she can comprehend. it lives in a cycle of being attached to human souls like a parasite, unable to truly act but may be able communicate to or influence its host in some way. despite the seeming futility of its existence it remains sane, though perhaps displeased or even remorseful; maybe its existence wasn't always like this. the girl struggles with this, feeling the "will" of this foreign being weighing on her mind, or even its own identity attempting to supercede her own. it might speak to her in her dreams/nightmares. i'd like to think that the ending of the song symbolizes the two coming together to live in harmony- the girl embracing the wonder of this being, and it accepting its own fate, at least for the time being. hi i really like eldritch/cosmic horror stuff so that may have slightly skewed my take lol
me when the moon is cycling (or something i dunno i don't listen to friend)
FAST BEAT MAKE BRAIN GO BRRRRRRRRRR
Lyrics:
o brand new moon,
reveal to me your cyclic ways
tell me how you still feel sane
when you’re destined to repeat the same
you’re always so bright, it hurts
always calling out to me
show me how to set myself free
before i become a devotee
oh, im a fool
what else is new?
gasping for air, but it’s all an illusion
i want the truth, real enough to chew
the lighter side is…
something inside me?
don’t be scared girl, it’s just your body
isn’t it useless
for me to continue on like this?
why am i sorry?
hanging above me, that played-out story
even alone, i see a familiar home
a night sky bathed in starlight
even alone, i’ll never go back home
my moon that burns like sunlight
o darkened moon,
reveal to me your cyclic ways
tell me how you still feel sane
when you’re destined to repeat the same
you’re always so grim, it hurts
always calling out to me
show me how to set myself free
before i become a devotee
desolate, in an altered state
use your voice and become a crescendo
less human every day, feel another force at play
submit yourself to their will now
o cyclic moon,
reveal to me your stagnant ways
tell me how you still feel sane
how do you still feel sane...?
oh, im a fool
what else is new?
gasping for air, but it’s all an illusion
i want the truth, real enough to chew
the darker side is…
what is inside me?
souls grow weary stuck inside a body
deep rooted sorrow
seems to be another lonely day
what do you want from me?
hanging above me, that played-out story
despite where i go, i’m trapped in familiar glow
the limelight’s like a birthright
even alone, i’ll never go back home
my moon that hues my nightmares
what does it look like?
brand new life in a brand new body
isn’t it useless
for me to continue on like this?
where am i running?
always above me, even when i’m hurting
without relief, i live in highlight grief
i’ve really become weak...
something inside me?
don’t be scared girl, it’s just your body
isn’t it useless
for me to continue on like this?
why am i sorry?
hanging above me, that played-out story
even alone, i see a familiar home
a night sky bathed in starlight
even alone, i’ll never go back home
my moon that burns like sunlight
I DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS ON MY RECOMMENDATIONS (PROBABLY BC I LISTEN TO GHOST AND VANE TBH) BUT THE FIRST FEW SECONDS HAD ME HOOKED WOW THIS IS JUST GREAT
WAAOOOH YOUR ART IS REALLLY GOODDDD I LOVE THE POSE AND THE SHADING AND THE SONG SOUNDS SO INCREDIBLE AAAAAAA UUUU RRR A MUSICAL AND ARTISTIC GENIUS
These are some sick beats how are you so underrated

Vivid and powerful, active and dynamic positive song!!!!!!!!
This s definitely my new fav Gumi song!
why is this underrated
This song is certified Slay fr💅🤝
this slaps so hard
wait until I analyze this whole song in depth
okay I'm back and also I lied it isn't in depth but basically my interpretation of the song is someone questioning the cycle of abuse.
"you're always so bright, it hurts
always calling out to me
show me how to set myself free
before I become a devotee"
basically her saying that the path for her future is already paved by her past (also emphasized in the line "hanging above me, the played out story"). she wants to be set free from this path and doesn't want to end up like her abuser(s).
"the lighter side is...
something inside me?
don't be scared girl it's just your body
isn't it useless?
for me to continue on like this?"
her realizing (or being told by a peer) that the solution to breaking the pattern is her and her own will. nobody else can help her if she doesn't make the effort herself. the lighter side truly is something inside of her. the second line seems to be a peer (or maybe "the moon" in the symbolism of the song!) telling her that she shouldn't be scared, because this is just her body. she feels fed up with herself for reacting only with negativity as a defense mechanism, but whoever(whatever) is telling her this is reminding her that even though her actions are her own responsibility, she shouldn't be scared of facing the issue head on, because she doesn't hold any control over her feelings. she even goes on to ask herself "why am I sorry?" as if pushing this narrative.
"desolate, in an altered state

"less human everyday, feel another force at play"
like most of this song is, this line questions her ability of free will. in Gumi's mind her not having free will is basically like her not being a human being.
"submit yourself to their will now"
literally her just telling herself to give up and succumb to her thoughts.
I also really like the line "souls grow weary trapped inside a body" but I'm unsure how to insert it into my theory so this is just like an honorable mention
"the limelight’s like a birthright"
I love this line so much I wanna eat it anyways this line describes how Gumi feels like she was born broken, and being broken is a "birthright". also, limelight is being the center of public attention, so basically she's saying tha in the same way that the results of her abuse feel like a birthright, the reactions of the public to her trauma responses also feel like a birthright.
great line anyways
"even alone I'll never go back home
my moon that hues my nightmares"
she will always have the memories of her trauma. it will never un-happen to her just by her recovering. even if she recovers, she'll never fully return to what she once was
"where am I running?
always above me, even when I'm hurting
without relief, I live in highlight grief
I've really become weak..."
Gumi asks herself where she's running to and realizes no matter where she runs her grief will always be above her and if she doesn't address it she will succumb to it. she also calls herself weak for not realizing sooner

Fun fact: i first ended up getting into your music (and subsequently other creators) because i was mad that all of my friends would take songs that i resonated with and apply them to their ocs so i looked up a voice (don't remember who) and sorted by new so here we are.
