Nina Simone - Everyone's Gone to the Moon Song Meanings
Lyrics:
Streets full of people all alone. Rows full of houses never home. Church full of singing but it's out of tune. Everyone's gone to the moon... See the rest of these lyrics Everyones Gone To The Moon Lyrics on KOvideo

1 one of my theories is that this song is about war streets full of people, all alone -- soldiers in platoons but all feeling lonely for their loved ones back home roads full of houses, never home -- the barracks the soldiers live in church full of singing, out of tune -- a military chapel everyone's gone to the moon -- the soldiers are so far away they might as well be on the moon eyes full of sorrow, never wet -- the soldiers cannot cry for their fallen friends in battle or for loved ones left behind, because they were commanded to "toughen up" and "be men" hands full of money, all in debt -- they're making money but they are "paying their dues" to uncle sam sun coming out in the middle of june everyone's gone to the moon long time ago life has begun everyone went to the sun hearts full of motors, painted green -- the soldiers forced to care only about where they are going in their tanks and jeeps mouths full of chocolate-covered cream -- the soldiers receiving gifts of candy (boxed chocolate assortments) from loved ones back home arms that can only lift a spoon -- a reference to wounded soldiers or disabled war heroes everyone's gone to the moon everyone's gone to the moon everyone's gone to the moon 2 -- another theory is that the song could be about the state of being unpartnered streets full of people, all alone -- hordes of single people wanting to be partnered roads full of houses, never home -- these single souls feel their house isn't a home without a partner church full of singing out of tune -- unpartnered people attending weddings of friends and family, feeling worse about being unpartnered everyone's gone to the moon -- all eligible prospects might as well be on the moon eyes full of sorrow, never wet -- sad but resigned to the status quo hands full of money all in debt -- making money just to pay rent to a landlord, because they feel (erroneously) that one should be married or at least living with someone before they own property sun coming out in the middle of june everyone's gone to the moon long time ago life has begun everyone went to the sun the next verse could be a reference to children/childhood, and an unpartnered soul longing either for a child of his/her own or for the days before puberty hit and life was about toys, friends, and candy hearts full of motors painted green -- a child's joy in playing with colorful mechanical toys mouths full of chocolate-covered cream -- a child's joy in eating candy arms that can only lift a spoon -- the limited physical power of a very young child everyone's gone to the moon
