General CommentIt's unbelievable how only few people have can give a good interpretation to this lyrics. Taylor, that's interesting but you went too far.tuvia, I agree with you. A sensible interpretation. I just wanted to reafirm it.This song is obviously about death. Not only about passing away, but about the death, as character (you may call it god, fate or, preferably, the KILLING MOON), taking people away.
Lyrics of UNDER A KILLING MOON by Thrice: The air my lungs first loved, carves craters from my eyes, They said Breathe deeply son, or be the next to die.

In this case, the singer.Many of you did talk about death, but nobody realized that the whole song is about it and there's no one else on scene: only the singer and death.' Under blue moon I saw you / so soon you'll take me'. It's obvious that He saw the death coming to take him in its arms. Now it's too late to beg.
He will die anyway: its his killing time. Doesn't it fit perfectly?The rest goes like that. He doesn't want to die, but fate acts against his will.' He will wait until you give yourself to him'.
It is talking about fate. That's the only part of the song which is not very clear for me because if fate acts against your will, you should die anyway. So, fate won't wait anything: will just take him away.
Burnout 3 had plenty of well lit tracks and although their were some that had dangerous deceptive turns- you at least knew that you were going to hit what you were probably going to crash into. Making some of them absolutely impossible to navigate. For some very obnoxious reason Burnout Revenge felt that they needed to douse the screen in dark brown and metallic white on every track. 
The level design is amazing though, the tracks are well layed out, theirs plenty of secret routes and random ramps- but GOOD LUCK SEEING ANY OF THEM.
It's a little contradiction of these lyrics, which doesn't affect this song's beauty. General CommentIan has told a few times what it's about (sorry to ruin debates with interview quotes, but that's being a true Bunnymen addict for you). It's about religion, about ignoring earthly pleasures and desires because of wanting to stay true to your religious believes. 'He will wait until you give yourself to Him' - the He and Him is not some distant boyfriend or so, it's God.
Ian has clearly confirmed this in several interviews, and it was also shortly mentionned in Turquoise Days, the EATB biograpghy. Apart from that I do adore the imaginary of this song: 'your lips' magic world, the sky all hung with jewels' - you will rarely find a line more romantic than that. The video is also a must-see, deeply romantic yet somewhat macabre, showing Ian's face lit by the moon only.
And last but not least, the sleeve pic for the old vinyl single shows a remote nocturnal rocky beach with a little boat drifting near the shoreline, all lit by only the moon. No picture could suit this song better. Pleasures Wow, I don't think you understood what you read. Especially the whole earthly pleasures and desires bit. Ian does write about god quite a bit but he's not some fundamentalist Christian. It's not a straight-forward song about the traditional god many have in mind. He has said the song's about free will versus fate and let's just say free will doesn't come up the winner.
The part about 'giving yourself to him' isn't about someone willing following god and the bible's tenets. It's about the inevitability of fate.And Ian's just about the last person to forego earthly pleasures. His biography should probably be titled, 'Ciggies, drinks and drugs (and the birds)'. Song MeaningI'm all but certain this song is inspired by the play Bodas De Sangre (Blood Weddings) by Federico Garcia Lorca, or it is an overwhelming coincidence if not.I'll look at the verses first, then the chorus;The first verse, I think is about Death (Death appears as a beggar woman in the play) 'Under blue moon I saw you, so soon you'll take me up in your arms'The second verse is more about Leonardo's feelings for The Bride (In the play) - The Bride is to be married to a son of a wealthy family, but she has fallen in love with Leonardo, who returns her feelings. Due to the social outrage that would be caused if the Bride were to attempt a relationship with someone whose family is in such dire straits as Leonardo's, she must continue with the wedding.
At the wedding, the two elope and flee to a nearby wood. However the moon and Death work together to let the Groom catch up with Leonardo and kill him.
The moon shines brighter so that the Groom can achieve this, hence the song title.The chorus:Fate Vs Will is the main theme of the play, not just in Leonardo and the Bride's ill-fated romance, but also several other sub-plots of the play. My Interpretationfunny, I've read all 97 or so comments here and NO one thought it was about what I thought it was.about losing one's virginity. I won't go into detailed chemical analysis.listen to the song again and go with it. But if the guy who wrote it tells you what it's about well.it's his song right?
(now everyone listen to the Bunnymen because if you never saw them live you have at least their music to indulge in.great freakin' band man.) I was devastated when Pete passed.the band were never the same after that. Note his work on 'BACK OF LOVE'- he played this w/cross-sticking, and you can hear/feel it.
