The song "Blue Moon" by Upchurch is a heartfelt reflection on the natural world and the emotional connections the singer feels towards the moon and the sun. The lyrics express a deep longing for understanding, peace, and solace. The singer begins by addressing the blue moon, expressing their desire for it to talk and become a confidant. They have spent countless nights rambling, seeking solace in its glow. Despite being just a rock in the sky, the blue moon brings them a sense of calmness, especially when they listen to the critters moving in the woods. The singer yearns for humans to be like the moon, hoping for a better understanding from others. The songwriter uses the image of pouring a tall glass of the blue moon to symbolize cleansing their soul from the troubles they have been through and the damages they may cause. They want to embody the qualities of the blue moon, being lonely in the vastness of space, so they can observe the world and all its tragic elements. The lyrics then shift focus to the red sun, which represents a draining force that challenges the singer's spirit and vitality. They describe sweating their soul in Mother Nature's skin and feeling blinded when the sun shines too brightly. However, they find solace in the fact that the sun eventually goes down, leaving them with the comforting presence of the blue moon. The singer expresses their deep fascination and love for the moon and the stars, describing it as an obsession. They visualize themselves sitting on the hood of their car, looking up at the night sky, as comets rain down on their one horse town. Overall, "Blue Moon" highlights the singer's connection to nature and their search for peace and understanding in a world filled with turmoil and chaos. They find solace in the silent solitude of space, observing the beauty and tragedy that surrounds them.
