I was wondering what is the meaningmeanings of the expressions 'killing moon'killing moon and 'killing time'killing time on the song Killing moonKilling moon by Echo and The Bunnymen are.
Under blue moon I saw you So soon
you'll take me Up in your arms Too
late to beg you or cancel it Though I
know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine...
In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly
you kissed me Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels The
killing moon Will come too soon
I assume the song does not refer to some sort of ritualistic murder on full moon. So what isWhat then are the meaningmeanings intended for these expressions?
