I watch you spin from afar
I drink you in and breath you out
I'm camouflaged by the time-line
I'm camouflaged when the sun shines
Two ships passing in the night
Two lips pressing ground the tides
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I long to be a part
I isolate my heart
You've drawn me into your world
Now I too spin limbless
One hand clapping, where's the wind
I stand spanning at your distant wings
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I drink you in and breath you out
I'm camouflaged by the time-line
I'm camouflaged when the sun shines
Two ships passing in the night
Two lips pressing ground the tides
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I long to be a part
I isolate my heart
You've drawn me into your world
Now I too spin limbless
One hand clapping, where's the wind
I stand spanning at your distant wings
[Chorus]
I believe the world it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon

Heartbreaking, but brilliant nonetheless.
"I believe the world, it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon
I believe the world, it spins for you
We will never be, I am the moon"
the chorus is so beautiful but sooo sad. she's basically saying that he is the sun and she is the moon and it's impossible for them to be together. "The world spins for you" , the world spins for the sun, and for her the sun is him.
"I long to be apart
I isolate my heart
You've drawn me into your world
Now I, too, spin limbless"
I think this part means that she longs to be apart because everytime she sees him, she dies inside because she knows that she cant be with him and that's also why she isolates her heart, but it's useless because he has drawn her into his world and now she spins limbless..
yeah sorry if u dont understand something or there's mispelled words :P , my english is not great
just ask me ;)
I think Sia is an amazing artist, she should be more famous, more people should know her songs, they really are amazing. They always leave a message for us in some way. This song has really touched me. Im kinda going through the exact situation. And her voice is soooo amazing, i could listen to it for like hours and hours.
"Two ships passing in the night".
And if she can only be with him sometimes, then she cannot be with him at all. It would be unfair to the both of them.
Or this could be about a past relationship where she let him go, but still watches him knowing it wouldnt have worked.
"I long to be apart"
I isolate my heart
You've drawn me into your world
Now I, too, spin limbless, and thus feels totally hopeless and doesn't like it.
One hand clapping, where's the wind?
"I'm camouflaged by the timeline"
The person that she adores is unaware of her and her feelings/she is hidden because they are both at different points in their lives (just like how the moon and the earth are on a different orbit/timeline around the sun)
"I'm camouflaged when the sun shines"
The person that she adores is unaware of her/she is hidden whenever that person is experiencing joyful moments (celebrating a birthday, at a party, laughing with friends, etc.) (just like when the sun shines on the earth, the moon is hidden. the happiness=when the sun is shining on the earth, there is life.. flowers bloom, plants grow, people absorb energy, etc.)
"two ships passing in the night"
"two lips pressing ground the tides"
the only time that we are "together" or "connected" or "side-by-side" is in the night, when are thoughts transcend and we have similar thoughts. ie when we think of the deeper things in life, our goals, our past, our future, love itself, etc. and in these moments, it is like our phantom lips touch in this case the two people are represented by the two ships, two lone ships traveling through the sea (depth of the ocean and lone atmosphere rep. the deep introspective thoughts)(just like the moon and the sun watch two ships that pass each other in the ocean at night, the moon's gravitational pull creates the tides that sway and push the boats forward, it's almost like the moon is brushing against the earth's surface as its gravitational pull does this, hence "two lips pressing ground the tides")
i may be putting more into this than what was intended by the writer but, these are my most fav. lines of the song and mean this much to me every time i hear it..it makes my heart cringe whenever i hear these lines sung, especially since sia has a ridiculously amazing voice;)
