Dark Side of the 🌗 [SSC8, Canada]

LYRICS \u0026 COMPOSITION EME LATINA © 2026 ✍️🎵 **Scroll down for more about this song** ------------- LYRICS: ------------- I) I hide my eyes in a new moon... I say nothing, and even that's too soon I am a waning crescent, moving slow Like phases of the moon, I come and go II) I'm not sure you really know.... I'm in my last quarter now; I'm winning and waning all at once From your knowing little glance [Chorus] You tell me moonlight doesn't lie Must be a full moon out tonight! You tell me moonlight doesn't lie Must be a full moon out tonight! You tell me-- III) I compartmentalize I aim so hard to keep the guise... I'm better off a gibbous in the sky! The dark side of the moon is in my eyes [Chorus] [Bridge] I'm a mess from first quarter to last, I live in the present, but I'm stuck in the past My mouth breaks, a waxing smile I feel it... I want it... but that will fade in a while... [Chorus] -------------------------- ABOUT THE SONG: -------------------------- I used the phases of the moon as the metaphor for how I show up in the world. From the outside, you get one phase at the time —but internally I go thru shifts. I compartmentalize and keep parts of myself out of sight. The song structure actually moves through the moon’s phases, and it is that tiered imagery that guides the story. As they say, moonlight is the reflection of the source. I left the final interpretation up to you. Are you the moon? Are you the one who sees the moon for more than meets the eye?
