Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark,
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms.
Darkness, darkness everywhere,
Do you feel alone?
The subtle grace of gravity,
The heavy weight of stone. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_hush_sound/you_are_the_moon.html ]
You don't see what you possess,
A beauty calm and clear-
It floods the sky,
And blurs the darkness like a chandelier.
All the light that you possess,
Is skewed by lakes and seas;
The shattered surface,
So imperfect,
Is all that you believe.
I will bring a mirror,
So silver, so exact,
So precise and so pristine,
A perfect pane of glass.
I will set the mirror up,
To face the blackened sky.
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise.
This song relates a lot to me, in my opinion. I think it's about a girl who thinks she is ugly and sinful and that she will never amount to anything. She thinks everyone around her are so beautiful, except her. Thus, this song is telling her that she has true beauty, and that she needs to accept her beauty, because she is beautiful.
I personally think this is talking about a girl, in this case the moon. And how she thinks that she's imperfect, ugly, impure, sinful. And somone that loves her will/wants to show her how truely beautiful she is.
