FullMoon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting in a corner all alone
Staring from the bottom of his soul
Watching the night come in from the window, window
It'll all collapse tonight
The full moon is here again
In sickness and in health
Understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
[Verse 2]
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields," he thinks
Hunted by his own
Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide any more?
Someone's at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong? It's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
Full moon
Sitting in a corner all alone
Staring from the bottom of his soul
Watching the night come in from the window, window
It'll all collapse tonight
The full moon is here again
In sickness and in health
Understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
[Verse 2]
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields," he thinks
Hunted by his own
Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide any more?
Someone's at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong? It's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
Full moon
[Verse 3]
Swimming across the bay
The night is grey, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight"
In the mist of the morning, he cannot fight anymore
A thousand moons or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man
Swimming across the bay
The night is grey, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight"
In the mist of the morning, he cannot fight anymore
A thousand moons or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
[Chorus]
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man
She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Whoa, whoa
See what became out of her man
(Run away, run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky, and he's not a man any more
Whoa, whoa
See what became out of her man
About
Genius Annotation
Fullmoon, one of Sonata Arctica’s most popular songs, is a catchy power ballad detailing the story of an (implied-to-be-newlywed) werewolf who tries to protect his wife by hiding away during the full moon. However, she follows him, putting herself in danger. The last verse strongly suggests that he killed her while in werewolf form, but the ending is ambiguous. Overall, it reads as a sweet yet tragic fantasy love story.
