about
Cold Moon. Another name for the full moon in December, the last full moon of the year.
It refers to a time when the winter is coldest and darkest occurring just before the winter solstice, after which the days start to get longer.
As the cold sets in, the Cold Moon is a time to reflect on the year’s triumphs, potentials, obstacles, and shortcomings.
And lessons learned.
A time to look inward for what you need.
lyrics
Look behind see what's there
Look on up into the cold air
See dark and light commune
Cold moon
Colored glass distracts the sight
From regret, missing pieces, and long nights
I feel my heart cocoon
Cold moon
Crimson stains and perfect lies
So much time spent on alibis
Tracks running most of the time
Dancing alone just to feel a shine
No sudden moves, there's so much hurt
Contemplate what it was all worth
There are bad things to remove
Cold moon
Slowly walk through ice-covered fields
Hear the sound of ice break under my heel
It's still in tree shadows I think of you
Cold moon
Crimson stains and perfect lies
So much time spent on alibis
Tracks running most of the time
Dancing alone just to feel a shine
Keeping to myself keep it all to myself
My companions lately have only been fear and doubt
There's a line that determines whether you're in or out
There's only so much treading water you can do before you drown
Before you drown
Pisces please, hold my heart
Help me understand thou art
I'm trying not to be blue
Cold moon
