Analysis of New Moon

Pin Lim 1982 (Montreal)



Yesterday is gone still can't believe I'm waking up to a different tune
The world seems the same but the feeling felt like seeing a new moon
To the person whom I thought was my everything the one that I adored
Waking up to an empty pillow is not the vision I had in store

Now that you're gone the feeling of emptiness that gentle touch
Been having heartaches by the thoughts of dreaming too much
Turn on the radio everything seems to remind me of you
Laying back down closing my eyes expecting a different view

Can't find the words to express the shock everything seems surreal
The thought of living in a world without your love seem like a bad deal
Reality may someday hit me and while you wait for the next person in line
I wish you luck and reminisce the time I once called you mine

Thoughts of seeing you with another man and leaving me behind
I'm stronger than this Not going to lose to my fears where I'm still confined
The world seems kind of dark nowadays and the feelings of no one around
Sometime I forget the earth has billions of souls like me waiting to be found
