This is a metaphor for social conformity.
Sun and Moon, Night and Day, Good and Evil
The sun is setting and
the moon's putting on
his makeup
It's going to be
a lovely day
he's lost in his
beauty, beautiful beauty
he's getting ready to shine
ready to shine, he is
ready to shine
Roles are something
you must have
to get along
to break out of
the chains of life
they hold you back
they hold you in
they sometimes even
wear you thin
Roles...
The sun fell
into my heart
I stalked the moon
till he bleed
his orange blood
red blood maybe
Roles...
The moon is
waving goodbye
and the sun's ready to launch
It's going to be
a lovely day
he's lost in his beauty
he's getting ready to shine
ready to shine, he is
ready to shine
Roles...
It's going to be
a lovely day
he's lost in his beauty
he's getting ready to shine
Roles are something
you must have
to get along
to break out of
the chains of life
they hold you back
they hold you in
they sometimes even
wear you thin
those chains they
wear
you
thin
