Diary Of Moon

Sexy Suicide's 'Diary Of Moon' is a haunting exploration of the night and its mysterious allure. The song opens with the protagonist feeling a call from the night, a time when they feel compelled to take risks and embrace the unknown. The moon, often a symbol of mystery and change, is personified as dancing, adding a sense of enchantment to the nocturnal setting. The lyrics suggest a duality between fear and desire, as the protagonist is followed by an unknown presence, blurring the lines between a nightmare and a dream.

The chorus, 'Take me away from home when the day is done, all the electrics’s gone, wake the moonlight,' emphasizes a longing to escape the mundane reality of daytime and enter a world illuminated by moonlight. This desire to be 'taken away' suggests a search for freedom and a deeper connection with the self, away from the constraints of daily life. The repetition of this chorus reinforces the protagonist's yearning for the night as a sanctuary.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into darker themes. The 'dark passenger' mentioned could symbolize inner demons or hidden aspects of the self that emerge at night. The streets are described as dangerous, with hopes forsaken, painting a picture of a world where the night is both a beginning and an end. The imagery of a 'dark alley splash of light' calling the protagonist home suggests a paradoxical comfort found in the darkness. The plea to be 'saved from dawn' further underscores a desire to remain in the night, where the protagonist feels most alive and true to themselves.

'In the dark alley splash of light, calls me home like that, it’s a long way (long way),' the lyrics evoke a sense of journey and transformation. The night is not just a time but a space where the protagonist can hide and be their true self, akin to bats, creatures of the night. The repeated plea to be saved from dawn highlights a fear of returning to the constraints of daylight, where the magic and freedom of the night are lost. 'Diary Of Moon' is a poetic and evocative ode to the night, capturing the beauty, danger, and transformative power of darkness.
