New Moon on Monday Lyrics

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny I've said it again but could I please rephrase it Maybe I can catch a ride I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait till you decide Send me your warning siren as if I could ever hide Last time la luna I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday And a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite Breaking away with the beast of both worlds a smile that you can't disguise But every minute I keep finding clues that you leave behind Save me from these reminders as if I forget tonight This time la luna I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday And a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday And a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night I stayed the cold day with a lonely sattelite New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night (firedance through the night) I stayed the cold day with (I light my torch and wave it for the) a lonely sattelite New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night (firedance through the night) I stayed the cold day with a (I light my torch and wave it for the) New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night (firedance through the night) I stayed the cold day with a (I light my torch and wave it for the)lonely sattelite

Meaning of New Moon on Monday

“New Moon on Monday” is a shimmering, anxious plea wrapped in Duran Duran’s signature synth-pop. The lyrics paint a picture of obsessive longing and confusion, driven by a captivating but elusive figure – “you.” The repeated imagery of the “new moon,” the “firedance,” and the “lonely satellite” evokes a sense of isolation and a desperate attempt to connect amidst a swirling, almost hallucinatory experience. He’s grappling with denial, seeking clarification (“could I please rephrase it”), and fearing reminders of a past connection, symbolized by the torch and wave for the moon. The "beast of both worlds" suggests a dangerous allure, while the “warning siren” hints at impending heartbreak. Ultimately, the song captures a vulnerable state of yearning and bewilderment, desperately holding onto hope – or perhaps delusion – as he waits for a signal, repeating his plea for connection under the watchful eye of the new moon.
