"Bark at the Moon" is the 10th installment of my 12 songs in 12 months project. A funky blend of post punk, synthwave and industrial, "Bark at the Moon" explores the futility of hiding one's true self from the world.
lyrics
I've spent my whole life
Trying to be someone
Yes I've spent my whole life
Trying to seize your love
So I rant and I rave
Like a rat in a cage
And I wonder "am I getting out?"
So I bite and I bleed
And I'm bearing my teeth
No I can't stop now
So I bark at the moon
I'm letting my demons out
Yes I bark at the moon
I'm letting the real me out
So I bark at the moon
I've waited so long
To finally free myself
Yes I've waited so long
To feel the release from hell
So it's setting the sun
And the change has begun
In the darkness I die to come out
No I'm not on the run
I can't wait to be done
With the lies I tell
So I bark at the moon
I'm letting my demons out
Yes I bark at the moon
I'm letting the real me out
When the lights go out
Disguise is down
I'll finally be myself
Yes I bark at the moon
I bark at the moon
When I howl I feel so fearsome
When I howl I feel so free
To be me
So I bark at the moon
I'm letting my demons out
Yes I bark at the moon
I'm letting the real me out
When the lights go out
Disguise is down
I'll finally be myself
Yes I bark at the moon
I bark at the moon
I'm runnin'
I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' away

The love of my life wore a solid gray dress the first time we met, and the image came stark and clear listening to this song. We fought about shades of gray between black and white, and without a doubt she changed me in a way portrayed perfectly by these lyrics. Simple yet profound, this is the best kind of song, and the danceable production sets just the right mood. astropulse
