Annotations and Meaning.

[Verse 1]

NIKI starts the song with how tough it is to survive some tough conditions together. She uses the metaphor of taking something from wolves, alluding that their struggles are very fierce. Due to their fear of darkness, they could not fight all this out and had to separate.

[Pre-Chorus]

NIKI describes the partner in the pre-chorus, driving away from the shared life and leaving all of the once-dreamt things behind. NIKI's gaze at her partner's eyes expresses a moment of meaningful connection between the chaos.

[Chorus]

Now, NIKI looks back on the four years passed with her partner, noticing the unwillingness of both parties to just let it be over. She compares their contrasting personalities and questions if their parting was meant to happen, as the metaphor goes: if they'd meet on the "wrong blue moon."

[Verse 2]

It gets hard for NIKI as she shows her frustration at her partner's very nature of goodness, which she considers to be agitating. Realizing that for him, it was more about being good than being good for her painted a pretty hefty flaw in both of them. This verse emphasizes the minute but critical differences that led to their breaking up.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Reiteration of the pre-chorus continues to highlight the themes of responsibility and unsaid tensions that eventually caused the relationship to fail. NIKI realizes that she was willing to get into a mess with respect to their relationship, which contrasts with the partner's refusal.

[Bridge]

The bridge advances a sense of nostalgia and yearning. NIKI realizes the uniqueness of their relationship and how it is a "blue moon." She then dwells upon future possibilities of reuniting and creating a different reality.

[Outro]

The song ends with a sadness surrounding the timing of their relationship and how it feels they met "a little too soon." The ending leaves listeners melancholic in an accepting, unresolved sort of way. Blue Moon tells the story of an intricate dynamic within a beautiful but finally doomed relationship. By way of vivid metaphors and emotional introspection, NIKI creates a picture of poignant love's challenges and the bittersweetness of parting ways.

Blue Moon Song Lyrics

Blue Moon by Niki

Take it from the wolves
To make it out the woods together is an art
We couldn't do such a thing
We were too afraid of the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
So you drove far, far, far away
From the life we built
Brick by brick just until
We were swept up in the cruelest cyclone
Oh, my eyes were glued to yours
As we chose to ignore
The rattling floorboards
Now I'm sleeping alone

[Chorus]
Four full laps around the sun
We wouldn't admit that we were done
Now I may very well havе just lost the one
(I may very wеll have just lost the one)
I'm a January baby, you were born in June
An ice-cold b**ch when you burn like noon
Was it hidden in the cards that I'd lose you?
Was it written in the stars that we'd meet a little too soon?
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little too soon
On the wrong blue moon
The wrong blue moon
Just a little too soon

[Verse 2]
You are good
It's that very goodness that antagonizes me
How could I ever measure up?
It took being written out the novel to finally see
That you care more about

[Pre-Chorus]
Being good than being good to me
And, yes, the difference may be subtle
But it woulda saved us, baby
Oh, I've never been worried
'Bout getting my hands dirty
But you wash yours of any ownership
In the mess we made

[Chorus]
Four full laps around the sun
We wouldn't admit that we were done
Now I may very well have just lost the one
(I may very well have just lost the one)
I'm a January baby, you were born in June
An ice-cold b**ch when you burn like noon
Was it hidden in the cards that I'd lose you?
Was it written in the stars that we'd meet a little too soon?
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little too soon
On the wrong blue moon
The wrong blue moon

[Bridge]
And I know it's not every day you meet somebody like you
It's once in the bluest moon, the love we had and still do
Maybe I'll give you a call when I turn thirty-two
And you'll say, "Who knew?

[Chorus]
The four full laps around the sun
Once upon a time when we were young
You were really always gonna be the one"
(I hope that you're always gonna be the one)
I'm a January baby, you were born in June
An ice-cold b**ch when you burn like noon
Was it hidden in the cards that I'd lose you?
Was it written in the stars that we'd meet a little too soon?

[Post-Chorus]
Just a little too soon
On the wrong blue moon
The wrong blue moon
Just a little too soon
[Outro]
A little too soon
It would've been you
