I didn’t mean to write another song about abandonment…
but the moon was out again. Looking luminous and emotionally distant.
So I spiraled a little. With rhythm.
“The Moon Is Just a Sad Lantern with Commitment Issues” is the latest blurry chapter from my barkbound memoirs—wrapped in warm acoustic chords, gentle grief, and the ambient sound of me crying into a tea mug that says “I’m fine.”
I tried to keep it light.
Carl said I failed.
Carl, as many of you know, is a pinecone.
I wrote this song on a Tuesday, in a field of half-wishes and mild resentment.
It came out sounding like Taylor Swift wandered into a haunted glade and decided to never leave.
There’s dandelion fluff in the lyrics. Regret in the melody.
I think you’ll love it. Or at least feel extremely seen.

🌾 Lyrics Preview (just a taste):
The moon is just a sad lantern
with commitment issues—
always there, but never mine.
And I keep sending it love letters
written in dandelion fluff and mild resentment.
Carl says I need help.
Carl is a pinecone.
I don’t trust his opinions on lunar intimacy.
If you liked this, you’re probably also emotionally fragile in a cottagecore kind of way.
Welcome home.
Bring tea. Bring offerings. Bring coping mechanisms that rhyme.
🌙
Stay weird, stay soft,
—Vixie
(and Carl, begrudgingly)
