lyrics
Intro: This one's for my Hades Babies, this is for my Hades Babies, yeah
Verse 1: Shadow’s got me again
Got me creepin' again
Overthinkin' again
I ain’t been sleepin' again
I’m addicted to sin
I’m addicted to pain
Every loss is a win
When I’m fully insane, ‘cause
If it’s bad then I want it
If it’s good then I don’t
I don’t know if I’m haunted
Said I’d change, but I won’t
This old blues is historic
And its trauma consumes
If I may wax metaphoric,
I blame my Hades Moon
Chorus 1: It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
It’s Just that Hades Moon
Moon, Moon
Verse 2: It’s just that Hades Moon
It’s such a shady tune
Like Persephone’s doom
She was trapped in a tomb
Now she’s begging for June
So she can go frolic free
But soon as I see the Sun
He’s bothering me
Saying, “Come back to the Underworld, come and be my girl.”
I couldn’t help but fall, couldn’t resist the call
Now I’m back in the dark
But I’m planting the seed
So my soul can evolve finally
Chorus 2: It’s Just that Hades Moon
(Everyday, from night to noon,
it's just that Hades Moon)
It's Just that Hades Moon
(When I'm all wrapped up in gloom,
you can blame my Hades Moon)
It's Just that Hades Moon
(Just that Hades!)
Just that Hades Moon
Bridge: It’s not just the Moon
He vanquished the Sun too
He’s next to my heart
My Venus is dark too
Incarnating’s hard
These lessons are part two-
thousand and a day
Maybe I’ll find my way ooh
It’s not just the Moon
He vanquished the Sun too
He’s next to my heart
My Venus is dark too
Incarnating’s hard
This lifetime is part two-
thousand and a day
Maybe someday I’ll learn to
Vamp: Integrate, Mutate, Elevate, Translate
(Transmute and then transform)
Transmute, Transform until Reborn
(I will transform until I am reborn)
(Until I’m reborn)
Innovate, Create, Individuate
Transmute, Transform, Transcend, Ascend
(I will transcend until I have ascended)
(Transcend, Ascend)
Transmute, Transform until I’m reborn, damn it!
(Transmute, transform, until I’m reborn)
(I will transform until I am reborn)
(Transcend, until re-)
Innovate, Create, Individuate
(It’s just that Hades Moon)
Transmute, Transform, Transcend, Ascend
(Transcend) (I will transcend until I am ascended)
(Moon, Moon)
Yeah
Outro: Just let that shit ride out, let that shit ride out, let that shit ride out
(Ride)
Just let that shit ride out
(Ride, ri-ride, ride, ri-ride)
let that shit ride out, ride out, right
(Ride, ri-ride, ride)
Just let that shit ride out, let that shit ride out, let that shit ride out
Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm, yeah
