Moonlight

Labyrinth's song 'Moonlight' is a poetic exploration of the themes of love, destiny, and transcendence. The lyrics open with the imagery of the 'Ivory Gates of Dreamland,' suggesting a mystical and ethereal realm where the protagonist's journey begins. The mention of steps being lost in the sand evokes a sense of wandering and searching, perhaps for a deeper meaning or a lost connection. This sets the stage for the central motif of the song: the moon and its guiding light.

The moon in 'Moonlight' serves as a symbol of truth and guidance. The protagonist pleads with the moon not to tell lies and to show the way to heaven, indicating a desire for clarity and direction. The moonlight, shining in the sky, becomes a beacon of hope and a means to transcend earthly limitations. The repeated refrain of 'take my hand again, fly with me thousand million miles away' emphasizes the longing for escape and the pursuit of a higher, more enlightened state of being.

As the song progresses, it delves into the power of love and will. The lines 'Meaning is that Love is stronger than Hate, Meaning is that Will is stronger than Fate' highlight the transformative and redemptive power of these forces. The protagonist's journey out of the 'Town of the Ancient Dreams' symbolizes leaving behind old, perhaps limiting beliefs, and embracing new reasons to live. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of love and determination to overcome obstacles and find one's true path.
