Lyrics
My moon, my man, so changeable and Such a lovable lamb to me My care, my coat leave on a high note There's nowhere to go but on Heart on my sleeve, not where it should be The song's out of key again My moon's white face What day and what phase It's the calendar page again Take it slow Take it easy on me Shed some light Shed some light on me, please Take it slow Take it easy on me Shed some light Shed some light on me, please My moon and me Not as good as we've been It's the dirtiest clean I know My care, my coat leave on a high note There's nowhere to go There's nowhere to go Take it slow Take it easy on me Shed some light Shed some light on me, please Take it slow Take it easy on me Shed some light Shed some light on me, please My moon My moon, my man My moon My moon, my man My moon My moon, my man My moon My moon, my man
Song Meaning
"My Moon My Man" explores the nuances of a romantic relationship, likening it to the changing phases of the moon. The song opens with a vivid depiction of her lover as "so changeable and such a lovable lamb," emphasizing both the unpredictability and endearing qualities of the person. The "moon" symbolizes both the beauty and the emotional fluctuations in their relationship. The phrase "Heart on my sleeve, not where it should be" speaks to the vulnerability and emotional exposure that often come with love. While her heart is openly displayed, she hints that perhaps that's not the wisest choice. "The song's out of key again" indicates that something in their relationship is off, like a song played incorrectly. Yet, she's still engrossed in the different "phases" of her relationship, alluding to the moon's cycle with "What day and what phase / It's the calendar page again." The chorus is a plea to take it slow, to shed light on the complexities of their relationship, asking for clarity and understanding from her partner. "Shed some light on me, please" speaks to the desire for insight into the relationship's murky waters. The song concludes with the lines, "My moon and me / Not as good as we've been / It's the dirtiest clean I know." This encapsulates the messiness of love, indicating that even when things are rocky, the relationship still holds value to her. In "My Moon My Man," Feist captures the emotional essence of a relationship in flux, reflecting the highs and lows that come with love.
