Lyrics for The Killing Moon as interpreted by numb

The Killing Moon Lyrics
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

i thought at first it must be about love, whatever, but the haunting tone of the song reveals more than just love, or a different love..

I think this song is not only about death and fate, but more the temptation of giving into such forces and forfeiting the power - or belief of the power - that the singer had over his own existence.

I am a Darko fan, I have heard this song before as well. It is awesome. I give the 1980's little credit for having good music and I think it is a deserved title. This song helps debunks my assertion. Great song all the way around.

I keep dreaming about my ex-girlfriend... if you think of this song as dreaming of your lover and waking to find she's still gone it makes perfect sense, although I know these guys are smarter than that.

I had an interesting experience with this song, I was part of a spiritual ritual during the new moon, and a couple of days after it my clairvoyant spiritual teacher pointed out that I seemed to not be willing to let go of my past. Shortly after that the melody of the chorus of this song popped into my head, I did not know the words so I looked it up:

"Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him"

My interpretation is that this was a message to me that
in order to fulfill my spiritual destiny I need to stop resisting it with my will, but God/Jesus will wait patiently through the ups and downs of my life (ie: through the thick and thin) until I give myself to him to be his servant. I know it's probably a different message than the artist intended but I thought it was worth sharing.

As for what the artist probably intended, when I read all of the lyrics it appears that it is probably a song about someone who broke his heart in the end.
