“Under the Moonlight” dives into the blurred line between identity and instinct - when reason fades, and primal urges take control. Inspired by the ancient myth of the werewolf, the lyrics mirror an internal struggle against impulses that can no longer be contained. The moon becomes both witness and trigger, illuminating the transformation of a man who no longer recognizes himself.
Through its hypnotic rhythm and eerie atmosphere, the song portrays the terror of losing one’s humanity while simultaneously feeling liberated by it. The repetition of “I’m running free, I am not cold” suggests both release and resignation - freedom through surrender.
For Quemasantos, “Under the Moonlight” is more than a story of supernatural metamorphosis; it’s a reflection on every hidden side we suppress until the darkness calls it forth. Under that pale light, we all confront the creature within.
