The title track from Miles Kane’s fifth studio album seems to express a sense of dedication and commitment from Miles towards another. The lyrics suggest a strong desire to provide support and light in someone’s life, even when feeling like they’ve lost everything. Miles seems as a sole performer, a “one-man band,” willing to go to great lengths to bring brightness and positivity into the other person’s life, symbolized by singing about brighter days and keeping the darkness away. There’s a theme of loneliness mixed with determination and a plea for recognition, asking to be heard and acknowledged for the effort put into being there for someone else (source: genius, one man band lyrics)
the tranquility base hotel is meant to be an escapist fantasy on the lunar surface. the moon essentially represents a space where the disillusionments and complications of life on earth doesn't exist. alex's mistakes and regrets and heartbreak doesn't exist here it's just all luxury and decadence. the moon is where life is easy, no mess no pain. it's like a post tech neverland. then in the car alex says 'can we please be absolutely sure that's there's a mirrorball for me?' so the mirrorball is the metaphor for hope. he wonders if there is an ending to the story where things turn out well for him. and you know what is a giant mirrorball? the moon. so 🌕🟰🪩 then in one man band miles writes 'i stare up at the moon and my lonely heart goes boom boom boom' so the moon to him represents things he's lost and things he wants back. oh and there was that line in aviation 'the colourama in your eyes takes me on a moonlight drive'. do you catch my drift
