Description
Sometimes all roads are confused, bridges are burned, and friends disappear as suddenly as cigarette smoke in the night. And then there is only one point of reference left - the light of the neon moon, strange, artificial, but so reliable.
It shines like a sign above a roadside bar, promising that the way home still exists, even if your heart is filled with the ghosts of your own decisions. There is no pathos in this music - only a quiet stubbornness to believe that in the darkness there will always be a light that will lead you back to yourself.
Lyrics and translation
Original
When you’re at the crossroads
And you don’t know where to turn
And everything is backwards
From all the bridges that you burned
Don’t let yourself get down too long
’Cause a change is coming soon
You can always find your way back home
By the light of the neon moon
Take me home
Back to you
Take me home
Neon moon
Take me home
Shine on through
Take me home
Neon moon
When the friends you always counted on
Vanish in thin air
You can find it in the southern sky
It’ll always be right there
When the ghost of your decision
Tries to haunt the lights of town
And all the stars above the mission
Are falling out, not falling down
Take me home
Back to you
Take me home
Neon moon
Take me home
Shine on through
Take me home
Neon moon
La la la la
I will be home soon
Take me home
Back to you
Take me home
Neon moon
Take me home
Shine on through
Take me home
Neon moon
Take me home
Back to you
Take me home
Neon moon
Take me home
Shine on through
Take me home
Neon moon
