Check out the Swedish chat on the SUNO Discord server! ------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro – distant clean guitar, feedback and low industrial pulse; almost whispered vocal] There was a face above my window when the world had gone to sleep A silver man behind the clouds who never spoke to me I used to raise my little hand and wave into the night And swear that if I climbed high enough I'd reach him in the sky [Verse 1 – low-tuned guitar enters, restrained drums; intimate, tense vocal] You knew everything Or so I thought you did You'd tell me stories after dark and make the world feel less big And when you left before the sunrise I would run outside Searching for your face above me in the silver of the sky [Pre-Chorus – guitars build, drums becoming heavier] I looked up You looked down Through a thousand miles of silence You were always around I looked up You were gone [Chorus – huge melodic Visual Kei chorus; soaring vocal, layered harmonies] Man in the moon I still look up to you Even when the night comes crashing through Even when I don't know what to do Man in the moon Did you ever know How a little boy could follow you Anywhere you'd go? I still look up I still look up To you.. [Verse 2 – heavier riff, more aggressive vocal delivery] Sometimes when the streets were empty and the winter covered everything I'd catch your face above the rooftops and hear the words you used to speak You said, "Stand up straight when life gets heavy Don't be afraid to fall A man is measured by the hands he gives not by the things he owns" I didn't understand you then I think I finally do Some lessons take a lifetime to find their way back through [Pre-Chorus – escalating, guitars widening] I looked up You looked down And the years became a distance I could never turn around I looked up You were gone [Chorus – larger, harsher backing vocals] Man in the moon I still look up to you Even when the night comes crashing through Even when I don't know what to do Man in the moon Did you ever know How a little boy could follow you Anywhere you'd go? I still look up I still look up To you.. [Instrumental Break – aggressive guitar riff, industrial percussion, melodic lead guitar; no vocals] [Breakdown – drums drop to heavy half-time; distorted bass and guitar, vocal almost spoken] I was angry when you left I blamed the sky I thought the stars had taken you I thought the night had closed your eyes But I was wrong You didn't disappear You just became the light I see whenever I look up [Final Chorus – full band, enormous melodic vocal; emotional harmonies] Man in the moon I still look up to you Every time the darkness comes I know what I have to do Man in the moon Now I finally know You were never up above me You were with me all along Man in the moon I hope you're looking down 'Cause everything I am today Was built from what you gave me I still look up I still look up I still look up To you... [Outro – guitars decay into clean harmonics; distant vocal] [End]
