Isn’t it obvious though? It already said so in the first line The moon will sing a song for me, “I loved you like the sun” “Bore the shadows that you made” “With no light of my own”
1 of my interpretations of this song: a domestically abusive relationship where the abuser was actually the first one to leave, making the victim think back on the memories in a bittersweet way, thinking back on the way they depended on the person. Realizing that there was so much they missed, and that that person was their world. But after thinking back, they are thankful that person left.
Two lovers are often described as the Sun and the Moon, circling around each other. Except the Moon doesn't circle with the Sun, it circles around the Earth and the Sun. It only shines from the light given from the Sun, it shines only with the light it gave it.
yeah, and in the vast and dark universe, only those of Earth could awe at the Moon's luminity, not even the light-giver Sun itself could truly see the Moon because how far apart their distance truly is nor could the Sun ever known how significant its existence means for the Moon :(
So its like a love triangle where “Earth” goes around the “sun” and the “moon” goes around “earth” using the light of the “sun”for “earth” Like an unrequited lover using their crushes crush for their own crush
@@XIIconstNvChr That’s something I constantly think about with sun and moon stories! Our galaxy is the sun’s palace, and it is the ruler. It gives light to each and every planet, though unfairly, since some are given less light then others. Logically the sun, in all its glory, does not even acknowledge the moon. Really, isn’t the earth the only one that is able to respect and acknowledge it’s existence? Since so many planets have their own moons. It’s a sad story, whether platonically or romantically everyone in this galaxy longs for the suns love, for its light. There are few who are showered in it, and even then that is simply only a fraction of it. For all of the moons glow and quiet presence, it truly is nothing compared to the sun. And thus, could never really have its full attention or love. The suns love is simply too divided, too scarce, for one as vacant as the moon.
I see a lot of people interpreting this song as an abusive romantic relationship, which is probably what it is, but I interpret it as the relationship of the golden child(moon) and the rest of the family(sun) and how the child is realizing that they never had a choice in anything "We walked in the dark, in the dark I never gave a single thought to where it might lead" That line is the family leading the child down the path of "success" without giving the child a choice. Years pass and the child realizes that their own childhood wasn't their own. "The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you gave, with no light of my own" The child loved their family, they still do, but they realize that the only reason they were "successful" as a child is because their family forced them to, so they don't feel like anything of theirs is actually theirs. Anyways, just my thoughts
Ayo my childhood only difference is my best friend came along in highschool and showed me how to have fun and shit just live my own life of the start but she helped me live like a teenager should and be a child I never got to be
This feels like an appropriate song for if you were sitting in a bay window and looking out at the night, it’d be late and the outside would be empty and the night would be quiet.
many people are interpreting this song as an abusive relationship, and it would make sense! but mine is a little different. i dont know what it is but the part "I loved you like the sun" and "I shine only with the light you gave me" could fit the abuse narrative but for me it feels more like they broke up with someone they loved so deeply, who made them open up and feel so powerful. but when they left the person felt alone and empty, like they couldn't shine on their own. but also towards the end it leads up into them forcing themselves to burn on their own- which is cool. :)
And like the sun gives light to the moon for the moon to shine and that is how we see the moon and the person who was singing is the moon and the person who she was singing of is the sun!!!
I heavily relate to this song as I used to assign stars to people I loved in my life, I always left the sun out of it, because I’d be earth, and my lover would be the sun, and we’d depend on eachother. When the sun would explode we’d both go down, it was supposed to be for my ride or die. He hung himself in his garage.
@@Le_WIP it was years ago, ive fortunately Been given the chance to move on. I still need to receive a lot of therapy and help, which I am in the process of. I actually have a doctors appointment later today about medication, which is a bit ironic. I don’t believe I will die any time soon :)
oh god i am so sorry for your loss, you're an incredibly strong person for moving on after such a tragedy, wishing you a lot of love and luck in the future friend
I’m so sorry to here this. I’m glad you are getting help. Music is also a good way to cope. (I’ve had many traumatic experiences and finding songs that are relatable Help) please stay strong
I always interpreted this as a child who had a neglectful and/or overbearing parent (yes you can have both at once) ‘I shine only with the light you gave me’ ‘The light you kept from me’ ‘10 years of the dust and neglect’ Strike me as someone looking back on their childhood and realising how much their parent robbed them of, how their parent moulded them into someone they never wanted to be, and how much they loved the person who abused them and how much they still love them despite it
My interpretation of the song was that there was a couple, not an abusive relationship But, I think the person (the moon) was somewhat depressed or stressed because of office problems, family problems, and any problems. But he\she had a lover which is the sun. The sun was the only reason why the moon lived like the moon was emotionally dependent on the sun. It's like the moon can't live without the sun. "Bore the shadows that you made" 'With no light on my own" "I shine only with the light you gave me" It gives me the ship dynamic of the " Sun x Moon" "The moon will sing a song for me" i think the sun said that. As you listen to the lyrics after The moon will sing a song for me it looks like the moon was thanking the sun for everything she or he made and being his or her lover. I think the person(the sun) dies leaving the moon behind. The moon will not shine anymore, nor made himself/ herself happy unlike the sun did.
Me and my ex girlfriend often liked to depict ourselves as the Sun and Moon. We live on total opposite sides of the earth. She was the Moon and I was the sun.. But I never saw myself as the Sun. It was because of her that I shined as brightly as I did. It was because of her that I was able to become the loving and caring person I am today. “I shine only with the light you gave me.”
This makes me think of being a kid and not being able to have a say in where you are or how you're treated by your parents. The line I want to feel the fire you kept from me feels like a kid trying to be confident after leaving a narcissistic parent who wouldn't let them go against them at all and the moon watching and singing for the child
Yes, it very much does. I personally interpret it as the pressure from family to a younger sibling to a very successful person. The older sibling is shining all the light, keeping the younger sibling in constant shadow. Still, the younger sibling adores the older sibling and thinks they're perfect. The younger sibling could have done anything they wanted, been anyone they wanted, but their family wanted them to be like their older sibling. Even once that's achieved, the still stand in the shadow of their older sibling. The younger sibling just goes with it, becoming apathetic. They knew their path, was familiar for their entire life, and was kept from what they truly loved in favour of being like their sun.
i hate that i was the sun in this song once upon a time...i hate the light i stole. it hurts to think of the person i hurt due to my own inability to mature.
look at the bright side, youve become aware and can grow from that experience :) the damage may be done but that doesnt mean youre still the same person as before.
@@notanactiveaccount8504even though the damage is done, ask for forgiveness even if they don’t forgive you right away in time they will. You will feel better knowing you have truly apologized and try asking them what you can do to support them so they can have their own light per day. Keep strong
This song makes me think of the identity dysphoria that comes with a bad childhood. It's like when you just start thinking you are how you want to be, the trauma and pain comes flooding back. It's makes you really think about how different, happier, and better overall as a person you could've been. It feels like youve been robbed of what suppose to make you yourself.
I know everyone probably realised this but “i shine only with the light you gave me” is basically the moon only ‘shines’ because the sun shines on it so it’s reflecting that. Aka if the sun person is happy then the moon person is happy if the sun person is sad then the moon person will be sad aswell
My interpretation of this song is one of a relationship where the sun is way ahead of the moon and follows in their light, therefore losing their identity and themselves. Think of it was like a little fan pursuing to be exactly like their idol but ends up confused when they could’ve chosen anything else then what the sun has chosen. Because the moon wouldn’t be glowing because of the sun despite being far away.
My interpretation of this song is someone in a relationship (the moon) has had so much help from their parter (the sun) to achieve what they want in life to the point where the moon is no longer able to see anything as totally their own or that being around the sun has changed them to the point that they are not showing who they really are but what the sun wants/shows them to be. Anyways I love the crane wives very much this songs is one of my favorites ever, listen to the crane wives
"I shine only with the light you gave me" I don't interpret this line as someone in an abusive relationship. To me, it reminds me of how I'm changing myself for the better, little by little, because of my girlfriend. She's the kindest, funniest person I've ever met, and when I make decisions, I now think what she would have done. How would she react if I said that rude thing to someone, how would she react if I did that? It's not in an unhealthy way, I just stop and consider what I'm going to do. Also, she absolutely humbled me in the card game Cat Lady. She completely and utterly crushed me in that. Shoutout to you, Luna!
I like to think this song is about the people around me who are kind to me gave me the strength for me to be kind over my lifetime. When I'm alone I'm sad and bitter most of the time.
I added this song to my dnd character playlist however my interpretation and part of the backstory I used this for was this. My character, a wood elf, fell in love with a drow. My wood elf had always lived a life being responsible for others, being taking for granted, and was secretly a pessimistic person because of how they have always been treated. When they met their drow lover it was when they had finally made the leap to do things for themselves and journey around with their mentor. The drow lover absolutely fascinated them as they were strong, yes, (important since my character was a fighter) but were also sweet, sincere, sentimental and a idealistic optimist. My wood elf was enamored and the two hit off and spent many years together before the tragedy happened. The pair were attacked by a remorhaz and their drow lover sacrificed themselves to protect my wood elf. The remorhaz was cut down by my character and their lover’s body was extracted and my wood elf tried to return their lover to the brother. The brother immediately accused my character of being at fault for the death of their sibling and declared a feud on them. My wood elf agreed to that sentiment, believing they deserved the hatred. But now my wood elf was alone, no lover, no friend (the brother of the lover), and a toxic family they couldn’t turn to. They had already had horrible argument with their mentor and led to them falling out too. So this song? It represents all the hurt, grief, and even resentment my character felt towards their lover while still understanding how deeply they meant to them, loving them, but not able to move on. Just drifting from day to day, trying to be better, trying to see the world as their lover once did, so something of their legacy remains, but still at a loss. They love their lover but also resentment for making a choice for them (protecting them) and leaving them alone, without the life they wished for (to live together for the rest of their lives) but still unable to see beyond that old dream and love. Their lover was their sun, and my character saw themself as the moon, reflecting the legacy of their beloved and all the good they saw in them. That was my interpretation of this song.
I like to interpret this as lover A (the sun) going through some things that is making them feel depressed or anxious and lover B (the moon) begging them to confide in them so lover A doesn't go too far into their darkness.
based on my personal experiences I interpreted this as someone (sun) making someone else (moon) a better person from being who they used to be. Now they doubt everything they know and wonder if this person (the sun) was helping or hurting. or if how they lived was so horrible and dark that a bit of light is a mystery or a danger. Not sure if that sounded really dumb but I'm commenting it anyway.
My interperetation of the song is the moon was lost without the sun. the moon was struggling to find who they were and were very closed off. didnt trust anyone. quiet and dark. didnt talk but was struggling. then the sun came around and the moon instantly opened up. the sun helped the moon findw ho they were and helped them through all their problems. later in life, the Sun passed, leaving the moon in their darkness with only the light the sun gave them, no light of their own.
I pose to you all a (very abbreviated) fantasy story. There once lived a pair of twins. One was friendly with a sunny disposition and the other was cynical with a closed off and cold demeanor. The sunny one lived by their heart, letting their emotions guide them. The other lived by their brain, letting logic guide them.The twins decided one day that they were 2 halves of the same person. So, at the request of the logical one, they found a witch to put them together. It only worked partially though. One could feel more strongly but the other felt as though they couldn't feel enough. But, the 2 carried on, getting along better now they were the same person in 2 bodies. Though one continued to feel as though something was wrong. One day, however tragedy struck. There was an accident and the one who used to be the cheerful one was killed. As their memories flowed into the logical one they wept. With tears in their eyes, they realized the twins were never the same. Now knowing everything the other gave to make them happy- even going as far as to go so numb so that they could feel just a taste of that fire- they cried "I shine only with the light you gave me."
I hate that we ended how we did. It’s so just… fucked up and chock full of hate and hurt and misunderstandings and things that likely can’t be fixed without showing up like a thief or a whirlwind. But I’m glad you’re gone. I’m glad I’m not torturing myself because of you anymore. I’m glad you’re so full of hate so your not torturing yourself because of me. I’m glad that you’re probably happier now than you’ve ever been with Izzy and her friend. I’m glad you forgot the good in our memories and only remember the bad. I’m glad that Dylan chased me away threatening me with twisted information. I’m glad I was right about him. I’m glad… I’m glad I was right about you from the moment I heard you in Waking Eyes. I’m excited to move on from you. But I know I never will, so I’m writing this here as a reminder to myself that you’ll never find. You were perfect. You still are perfect. But I’m glad you have the chance to grow and gain the rest of your maturity. Goodbye my Rhubarb, I’ll be praying for you whenever I look up at the sky or when Polus does something especially stupid. I love you, Sam
This song fits with so many things, you can interpret it as song about someone realizing that they were being used by their close friend and/or lover, you can interpret it as a song about siblings that care about eachother but were never allowed to show it, you can interpret it as a song about a person who is only viewed as another person's legacy, you can interpret it as a song about a child realising that their parent was a horrible person, you can interpret it as a song about a person who's realising that their parent was actually abusive, etc etc
For me, this song is about someone that fights hard for the relationship to work but the relationship only works for her, the second person erases her and mistreats her, and the minimum amount of attention that the other person gives is enough to feed the other's emotional dependence.
The moon will sing a song for me, I LOVED YOU LIKE THE SUN! bore the shadows that you made, with no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me I shine only with the light you gave me ☀🌕
"Words were always meant to be interpreted, it's just the interpreter's choice if they want to understand or continue to disregard the fact that what they have is pain and not safety, because when you've put your religion into something you truly love, it is hard to convince yourself that everything against it is good." That wa the first time they heard Erzahler speak, and the campfire only died slowly and silently along with its listeners.
Most people interpret this as a abusive realtionship. While thats one way to put it, i personally see this as two siblings. The sun(older brother) And of course, the moon(younger brother). The sun became a great person. His parents(the universe) loved him very much. Meanwhile the moon had little to no potential. The sun wanted the moon to follow after him and so put him through so much just to make him great. Meanwhile the moon was upset and thought that it was too much and just wanted to be normal. The moon ended up becoming just like his brother, but with a lower status because of the many others like him(the other moons). But while many people saw a person of great fame, in reality it was all because of his elder brother,the Sun. Thus the line "I shine only with the light you gave me" reffering to how the moon only reflects of the Suns light. Meaning all the Moons popularity just because of what the Sun did for him. Although the Moon despised his brothers actions, he loved him knowing of his good intentions, thus "I loved you like the sun" Though the neglect his parents gave him for many years, and all the pain his brother put him through, He loved all of them. Though still wishing he had a choice.
That hits different because that is eieerily simliar to my relationship to my brother. We was super successful, and went to Cambridge. Was super smart, got amazing grades, and I adored him. I want to be exactly like him. He left home when he was 23, and I was 6. I idolised him. I didn't have much contact with him. I could've done anything I wanted, gone anywhere since I am similarly smart, but I am autistic and struggle in social situations. I only recently realised that I had never made a single decision for myself. So, recently, I gave up on applying for Cambridge and have decided to go to whatever university I want to. My family were always pushing me to be like him. "You look just like your brother." "You look like if your brother was a girl." All this while, I had loved him so much it hurt. And he had never bothered to contact me. I'm I my late teens, and I've decided that I'm going to do what makes me happy. I would rather be less academically successful, and live my life and love others that will actually bother to love me back.
@@abbyyap25 Yeah, I feel a lot better now. It makes me sad, but I'm more independent and can do whatever I feel like instead of whatever is expected of me. I have some trust issues, but I'm working hard to trust others better! I'm healing, and this song hurts in a good way.
I understand and agree with the interpretation that the song is about an abusive relationship. But could be also a depending relationship that is other toxic thing, they loved each other but one was depending to much like it didn’t exist without the other and that made the other person feel trap and leave and now the depending one can be one alone and is even grateful for being is own person. A perfect song about any type of toxic relationship being family, friendship or romantic.
Ok. But I'm imagining this for an OC of mine. She's blind and somewhat religious. Now the reason I think of this for her is because she has times where she really wishes, deep in her soul, that she wasn't born the way she was. She wishes she wasn't blind. She wishes she could see. She wishes that colour and light and objects didn't evade her. . . . She wishes God didn't have such a crude sense of humor.
I also have a character this reminds me of, she isn’t blind, but she’s a prophet and extremely religious(not for God, some other religion that I created, it’s a high fantasy) and she lives in a cave system (she’s a Drow). For this song, I imagine it talks about two things for her, the loss of her baby brother who was the last blood-related family she had. And also her besieging the gods for their cruelty. Wondering why they would do this too her, who was such a loyal servant to them.
This song, too me, feels like someone resenting the other on leaving them, becuase they took the light out of their life. The relationship ship may have been a. Bit toxic, but now that doesn’t matter since they’re light is gone.
I See a abusive relationship. I’ve been through one. They called me fat pig as a “joke” and did something that hurt me and said it was a “dare.” They also blamed me for everything they did, when I said “this won’t work”, they will act all innocent and start begging me to come back. I really loved them like the sun, but then broke my heart. Now I just listen to the night sky, and look at the moon like it’s singing to me as I still remember this song and the relationship. I loved them so much, and I didn’t realize the pain. I *loved* them like the sun.
Wenn ich so die Kommentare über Eltern und Kind lese, kann das stimmen, aber ich denke das es über die Sonnen und Schattenseiten des Lebens geht, wie wir aufwachsen und was wir mit dem Gelernten umsetzten, manche Tage sind hart, andere härter und wieder andere sind die schönsten die es gibt und man wünscht sich das sie niemals enden😅
I really loved this song and most think of it as abuse, but I like to think there loved one died, I don’t really have any idea why actually but it just fits too me

This feels like realizing you’re in a codependent relationship and slowly developing the courage to escape it.
as someone who was in multiple codependent relationships this is 100% how i interpret it
Or alternatively, a codependent relation where they were the one to leave you
I knew a set of people… who were codependant on each other and they thought that was ok…

"We walked in the dark, in the dark

That line is the family leading the child down the path of "success" without giving the child a choice.

"The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun

The child loved their family, they still do, but they realize that the only reason they were "successful" as a child is because their family forced them to, so they don't feel like anything of theirs is actually theirs.
Anyways, just my thoughts
like a narcissist mother daughter relationship:((
me too
This is exactly how I feel... about the song and why I relate to it...
I interpret it more as a younger sibling desperately trying to keep up with the older sibling's success.
Ayo my childhood only difference is my best friend came along in highschool and showed me how to have fun and shit just live my own life of the start but she helped me live like a teenager should and be a child I never got to be

im in the same predicament as this rn
@@notanactiveaccount8504even though the damage is done, ask for forgiveness even if they don’t forgive you right away in time they will. You will feel better knowing you have truly apologized and try asking them what you can do to support them so they can have their own light per day. Keep strong
@@stranger_things_slytherin_457 thank you, im going to make things right. really really appreciate u going out ur way to send me some advice :-)
This song makes me think of the identity dysphoria that comes with a bad childhood. It's like when you just start thinking you are how you want to be, the trauma and pain comes flooding back. It's makes you really think about how different, happier, and better overall as a person you could've been. It feels like youve been robbed of what suppose to make you yourself.
I know everyone probably realised this but “i shine only with the light you gave me” is basically the moon only ‘shines’ because the sun shines on it so it’s reflecting that. Aka if the sun person is happy then the moon person is happy if the sun person is sad then the moon person will be sad aswell
Your taste is just like mine i'm so happy i found you and this song beautiful
My interpretation of this song is one of a relationship where the sun is way ahead of the moon and follows in their light, therefore losing their identity and themselves. Think of it was like a little fan pursuing to be exactly like their idol but ends up confused when they could’ve chosen anything else then what the sun has chosen. Because the moon wouldn’t be glowing because of the sun despite being far away.
My interpretation of this song is someone in a relationship (the moon) has had so much help from their parter (the sun) to achieve what they want in life to the point where the moon is no longer able to see anything as totally their own or that being around the sun has changed them to the point that they are not showing who they really are but what the sun wants/shows them to be.
Anyways I love the crane wives very much this songs is one of my favorites ever, listen to the crane wives
One of my favourite songs and it's good for an animatic I've been wanting to make
honestly one of my favorite songs, i can relate to it in many ways
Ugh I love this song, thank you! I love all of their stuff tbh xd
"And in the silence I suddenly understood the many ways a person can die but still be alive." -Carmen Rodrigues
"I shine only with the light you gave me" I don't interpret this line as someone in an abusive relationship. To me, it reminds me of how I'm changing myself for the better, little by little, because of my girlfriend. She's the kindest, funniest person I've ever met, and when I make decisions, I now think what she would have done. How would she react if I said that rude thing to someone, how would she react if I did that? It's not in an unhealthy way, I just stop and consider what I'm going to do. Also, she absolutely humbled me in the card game Cat Lady. She completely and utterly crushed me in that. Shoutout to you, Luna!
I feel like I'm in a forest, with a wolf beside me and the moon will sing to me in the night
Edit: thanks for the likes and comments
Op is the person on the album cover for this song
Well, it's coyotes in the cover, but close enough
This song reminds me of my relationship with my mother as a teen
this actually matches my ocs so well thank you
I'm back! I'm crying. This song works great for crying. I once cried so hard to this I threw up.
I've been looking for this song for 30 minutes-
does any one know what type of genre this is? i love songs like this
I would call this genre "Indie folk"
Definitely folk
This comment is super old so I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew this, but the Oh Hellos make a ton of songs with this kind of vibe
@@ink5069 I love The Crane Wives but The Oh Hellos has to be my favorite folk band
@@lixxie144 dude ikr? The Oh Hello's make me go absolutely feral
I like to think this song is about the people around me who are kind to me gave me the strength for me to be kind over my lifetime. When I'm alone I'm sad and bitter most of the time.
This song is on my Spotify playlist and I never fully listened to the lyrics until now
1:30 - probably why some people came (the moon will sing a song for me)
My crush sang this song in class today and now I'm hooked because the song is so beautiful
The moon: Suguru
The sun: Satoru
Crying
STOP THIS I'M GONNA VIOLENTLY SOB
EVERYWHERE I FUCKING GO I HAVE TO SEE SATOSUGU ANGST BRO WHAST💔💔💔💔
OMG I CANT MF ESCAPE THEM
SORRY YALL IT HAPPENS TO ME TOO 🥹
I added this song to my dnd character playlist however my interpretation and part of the backstory I used this for was this.
My character, a wood elf, fell in love with a drow. My wood elf had always lived a life being responsible for others, being taking for granted, and was secretly a pessimistic person because of how they have always been treated. When they met their drow lover it was when they had finally made the leap to do things for themselves and journey around with their mentor. The drow lover absolutely fascinated them as they were strong, yes, (important since my character was a fighter) but were also sweet, sincere, sentimental and a idealistic optimist. My wood elf was enamored and the two hit off and spent many years together before the tragedy happened. The pair were attacked by a remorhaz and their drow lover sacrificed themselves to protect my wood elf. The remorhaz was cut down by my character and their lover’s body was extracted and my wood elf tried to return their lover to the brother. The brother immediately accused my character of being at fault for the death of their sibling and declared a feud on them. My wood elf agreed to that sentiment, believing they deserved the hatred. But now my wood elf was alone, no lover, no friend (the brother of the lover), and a toxic family they couldn’t turn to. They had already had horrible argument with their mentor and led to them falling out too.
So this song? It represents all the hurt, grief, and even resentment my character felt towards their lover while still understanding how deeply they meant to them, loving them, but not able to move on. Just drifting from day to day, trying to be better, trying to see the world as their lover once did, so something of their legacy remains, but still at a loss. They love their lover but also resentment for making a choice for them (protecting them) and leaving them alone, without the life they wished for (to live together for the rest of their lives) but still unable to see beyond that old dream and love. Their lover was their sun, and my character saw themself as the moon, reflecting the legacy of their beloved and all the good they saw in them.
That was my interpretation of this song.
I don’t know why but this reminds me of Where The Crawdads Sing… not the same vibe but it feels like it fits somehow
I like to interpret this as lover A (the sun) going through some things that is making them feel depressed or anxious and lover B (the moon) begging them to confide in them so lover A doesn't go too far into their darkness.
based on my personal experiences I interpreted this as someone (sun) making someone else (moon) a better person from being who they used to be. Now they doubt everything they know and wonder if this person (the sun) was helping or hurting. or if how they lived was so horrible and dark that a bit of light is a mystery or a danger.
Not sure if that sounded really dumb but I'm commenting it anyway.
My interperetation of the song is the moon was lost without the sun. the moon was struggling to find who they were and were very closed off. didnt trust anyone. quiet and dark. didnt talk but was struggling. then the sun came around and the moon instantly opened up. the sun helped the moon findw ho they were and helped them through all their problems. later in life, the Sun passed, leaving the moon in their darkness with only the light the sun gave them, no light of their own.
I pose to you all a (very abbreviated) fantasy story.
There once lived a pair of twins. One was friendly with a sunny disposition and the other was cynical with a closed off and cold demeanor. The sunny one lived by their heart, letting their emotions guide them. The other lived by their brain, letting logic guide them.The twins decided one day that they were 2 halves of the same person. So, at the request of the logical one, they found a witch to put them together. It only worked partially though. One could feel more strongly but the other felt as though they couldn't feel enough. But, the 2 carried on, getting along better now they were the same person in 2 bodies. Though one continued to feel as though something was wrong. One day, however tragedy struck. There was an accident and the one who used to be the cheerful one was killed. As their memories flowed into the logical one they wept. With tears in their eyes, they realized the twins were never the same. Now knowing everything the other gave to make them happy- even going as far as to go so numb so that they could feel just a taste of that fire- they cried "I shine only with the light you gave me."
I hate that we ended how we did. It’s so just… fucked up and chock full of hate and hurt and misunderstandings and things that likely can’t be fixed without showing up like a thief or a whirlwind. But I’m glad you’re gone. I’m glad I’m not torturing myself because of you anymore. I’m glad you’re so full of hate so your not torturing yourself because of me. I’m glad that you’re probably happier now than you’ve ever been with Izzy and her friend. I’m glad you forgot the good in our memories and only remember the bad. I’m glad that Dylan chased me away threatening me with twisted information. I’m glad I was right about him. I’m glad… I’m glad I was right about you from the moment I heard you in Waking Eyes. I’m excited to move on from you. But I know I never will, so I’m writing this here as a reminder to myself that you’ll never find. You were perfect. You still are perfect. But I’m glad you have the chance to grow and gain the rest of your maturity. Goodbye my Rhubarb, I’ll be praying for you whenever I look up at the sky or when Polus does something especially stupid.
I love you, Sam

This song fits with so many things, you can interpret it as song about someone realizing that they were being used by their close friend and/or lover, you can interpret it as a song about siblings that care about eachother but were never allowed to show it, you can interpret it as a song about a person who is only viewed as another person's legacy, you can interpret it as a song about a child realising that their parent was a horrible person, you can interpret it as a song about a person who's realising that their parent was actually abusive, etc etc
For me, this song is about someone that fights hard for the relationship to work but the relationship only works for her, the second person erases her and mistreats her, and the minimum amount of attention that the other person gives is enough to feed the other's emotional dependence.
I don't know why but it somehow reminds me of "There is a light that never goes out" by The Smiths
I don't know how to describe this song, but the things I can think of is it sounds mysterious.
Yeah :/
The moon will sing a song for me,
I LOVED YOU LIKE THE SUN!
bore the shadows that you made,
with no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
☀🌕
"Words were always meant to be interpreted, it's just the interpreter's choice if they want to understand or continue to disregard the fact that what they have is pain and not safety, because when you've put your religion into something you truly love, it is hard to convince yourself that everything against it is good."
That wa the first time they heard Erzahler speak, and the campfire only died slowly and silently along with its listeners.
this song always reminds me of song of achilles😔
You got post read depression from that book too? Haha hey new friend
Wait until ya'll hear about
"Achilles come down" from gang of the youths
I loved this song, but I didn't know the words! Now I can sing along! Thank you!
I love this song!
There is a strap on the wii controller for a REASON!
💀
I just fell off my bed and my friend told me to stay on the floor and listen to this
... The SAME guys who made Curses made THIS?! Holy- and just like that, The Crane Wives have become my favourite band ever...
This song reminds me of the movie wolf walkers🐺🐾 :)
This is a very good therian song for the fellow therians out there!
I shine only with the light you gave me! ✨️
I have OSDD, and this song really resonates so hard
Same-
Hey I have DID! I absolutely agree
we have some form of that and mood fr -Poppy
Sounds like my head canon for SquirrelFlight f
I love this song so much 😭😭
This makes me imagine a coyote looking up at the full moon and thinking back bittersweetly on both good and bad memories
As a Coyote therian, this makes me very pleased.
Most people interpret this as a abusive realtionship.
While thats one way to put it, i personally see this as two siblings. The sun(older brother)
And of course, the moon(younger brother). The sun became a great person. His parents(the universe) loved him very much.
Meanwhile the moon had little to no potential.
The sun wanted the moon to follow after him and so put him through so much just to make him great. Meanwhile the moon was upset and thought that it was too much and just wanted to be normal.
The moon ended up becoming just like his brother, but with a lower status because of the many others like him(the other moons).
But while many people saw a person of great fame, in reality it was all because of his elder brother,the Sun.
Thus the line "I shine only with the light you gave me" reffering to how the moon only reflects of the Suns light. Meaning all the Moons popularity just because of what the Sun did for him.
Although the Moon despised his brothers actions, he loved him knowing of his good intentions, thus "I loved you like the sun"
Though the neglect his parents gave him for many years, and all the pain his brother put him through, He loved all of them.
Though still wishing he had a choice.
That hits different because that is eieerily simliar to my relationship to my brother.
We was super successful, and went to Cambridge. Was super smart, got amazing grades, and I adored him. I want to be exactly like him. He left home when he was 23, and I was 6. I idolised him. I didn't have much contact with him. I could've done anything I wanted, gone anywhere since I am similarly smart, but I am autistic and struggle in social situations. I only recently realised that I had never made a single decision for myself. So, recently, I gave up on applying for Cambridge and have decided to go to whatever university I want to. My family were always pushing me to be like him. "You look just like your brother." "You look like if your brother was a girl." All this while, I had loved him so much it hurt. And he had never bothered to contact me. I'm I my late teens, and I've decided that I'm going to do what makes me happy. I would rather be less academically successful, and live my life and love others that will actually bother to love me back.
@@nyxthefox2348 Well sheesh, glad to hear you got put of that. That stuff can be really pressuring. Dont let them control your life!
@@abbyyap25 Yeah, I feel a lot better now. It makes me sad, but I'm more independent and can do whatever I feel like instead of whatever is expected of me. I have some trust issues, but I'm working hard to trust others better! I'm healing, and this song hurts in a good way.
I understand and agree with the interpretation that the song is about an abusive relationship.
But could be also a depending relationship that is other toxic thing, they loved each other but one was depending to much like it didn’t exist without the other and that made the other person feel trap and leave and now the depending one can be one alone and is even grateful for being is own person.
A perfect song about any type of toxic relationship being family, friendship or romantic.
Heya Aspen if you find this comment I just want to tell you how happy I am I met you and how proud I am of you
Love, your twin
Ok. But I'm imagining this for an OC of mine. She's blind and somewhat religious.
Now the reason I think of this for her is because she has times where she really wishes, deep in her soul, that she wasn't born the way she was. She wishes she wasn't blind. She wishes she could see. She wishes that colour and light and objects didn't evade her. . . .
She wishes God didn't have such a crude sense of humor.
I also have a character this reminds me of, she isn’t blind, but she’s a prophet and extremely religious(not for God, some other religion that I created, it’s a high fantasy) and she lives in a cave system (she’s a Drow). For this song, I imagine it talks about two things for her, the loss of her baby brother who was the last blood-related family she had. And also her besieging the gods for their cruelty. Wondering why they would do this too her, who was such a loyal servant to them.
My gf said this can be our wedding song
That's so cute^^
I know I'm a random stranger on the internet
But good luck!!
This song, too me, feels like someone resenting the other on leaving them, becuase they took the light out of their life. The relationship ship may have been a. Bit toxic, but now that doesn’t matter since they’re light is gone.
This song hits different in an abusive relationship than it did before.
I See a abusive relationship.
I’ve been through one.
They called me fat pig as a “joke” and did something that hurt me and said it was a “dare.” They also blamed me for everything they did, when I said “this won’t work”, they will act all innocent and start begging me to come back.
I really loved them like the sun, but then broke my heart.
Now I just listen to the night sky, and look at the moon like it’s singing to me as I still remember this song and the relationship. I loved them so much, and I didn’t realize the pain.
I *loved* them like the sun.
For me it's like bpd. "I shine only with the light you gave me" it's like feeling happy with your fp but then feeling absolutely nothing without them
What editor do you use?
iMovie!
It's MY breakdown and I get to chose the song
Does someone knows why they blocked the comments in their videos?
i think youtube did it, most of the comments to official music channels are disabled
@@pebbe5583 I hate that cuz like for many small band fans that’s where you’d go to see what people thought
Wenn ich so die Kommentare über Eltern und Kind lese, kann das stimmen, aber ich denke das es über die Sonnen und Schattenseiten des Lebens geht, wie wir aufwachsen und was wir mit dem Gelernten umsetzten, manche Tage sind hart, andere härter und wieder andere sind die schönsten die es gibt und man wünscht sich das sie niemals enden😅
Don’t mind me.. 1:25
I couldn't remember the name of this band nor the song, and i couldn't find it for months.
I have found it at 111k views!
What style of music would this be? I love it.
its indie folk
Folk maybe?? Or what the other person said. They're probably right lmao
i want to crawl out of my skin & wear this song as skin instead
i agree
Idk how but I feel something weird when listen to this song i feel free like I was free from life
I interpet this as me, responding to past me of all the things we could have done if we just spoke up.
I came here from gacha videos and I didn’t expect what I read in the comments, now I can’t think of the song the same way again 🥲
Oooh
Love this song helps me get though this hard ass life

If “tears on a withered flower” ever got an anime adaptation, this should be the intro song
This feels to me like a song to a controlling parent
this song is literally my every relationship with everyone ever
Day 20 of listening to this everyday in an attempt to heal from my narc ex
Hope you're doing better :)
@@thewonderfulwizardofdoodle getting there 💗
I wish you the best in recovery my friend
I hope you’re doing well!!
My interrpuretation is an abusive parent, narrcisitic parent keeping their child down
This song.... just let out the Moonlight for my path and it's too hard to control myself for keep on my old path to become like a moon
This song hits me with nostalgia an idk y
Reminds me of the short story The Yellow Wallpaper
Ah Yes a relatable song
I really loved this song and most think of it as abuse, but I like to think there loved one died, I don’t really have any idea why actually but it just fits too me
Listening to this and thinking about Darklina from Shadow and Bone is uhhh... good.
That's really big brain of you 💯
