Discover the story of the song > Red Moon – The Walkmen

The protagonist is looking at the red moon rising and the strong ocean waves. He tried to use a light to find his way, but the wind blew it away. He is feeling cold and the clouds are moving fast, but he hopes to be home with his partner soon. He feels like he's being dragged away by a strong current and is drifting away, but the sun will rise tomorrow. The stars are cold, but he sees his partner shining like a sharp knife, even though he's surrounded by darkness. He misses her and there's no one else he thinks about.
