Waltz in E-Major, Op. 15, "Moon Waltz" is the sixth song on Cojum Dip's album, Cojum Dip.

On September 3rd 2019, a music video for Moon Waltz was uploaded to Bora Karaca's YouTube channel. The video shows different clips of the moon and its different phases. The video was later unlisted from his channel and was only accessible through his website, only to be privated afterwards. The only known live performance of Moon Waltz was on May 17th 2024, as part of an Edu performance, supporting Jukebox The Ghost

Song Meanings/Interpretations

The song is suggested to detail a “waltz” between The Earth and The Moon, with heavy use of double meaning to reflect a failing relationship in how it describes the Waltz of these 2 celestial bodies moving away from each other.

Trivia

• The Spanish lyrics toward the end, "No es la locura / En realidad es el amor", translate to, "It is not madness / It's really love."

Lyrics

 
The last time our module would ring you
Like a lunar bell
I’ll see you on the Moon
Until we meet at Tycho
And follow the trail

Synodic season
To come out of hiding
Why’d it take so long?
Inching out of orbit dividing
Where did I go wrong?

I’ll see you on the Moon
Where we’re throwing a party
And as you’re gasping for the last of air
You’ll tra-la-la-la-la
You give me fifty-nine percent from libration
We dance in synchronous rotation

The image we see of you has been
Just a little late
There is no atmosphere
To wear down any sharpness
It’s not how long you wait

Synodic season
To come out of hiding
Why’d it take so long? (Now-now-now-now)
Inching out of orbit dividing
(Now-now-now-now-now now-now now-now-now-now)
Where did I go wrong?

A wise woman said I’m alive
Nobody’s ever told her she’s wrong
A paella of space-talking jive
I’m as alive as her beard is long

I’ll see you on the Moon
Where we’re throwing a party
And as you’re gasping for the last of air
You’ll tra-la-la-la-la
Twirling moondust abound
Lung destruction is starting
Take your suit off and swim in maria

I’ll see you on the Moon
There’s already a party
And as you’re gasping for the last of air
You’ll tra-la-la-la-la
No es la locura
En realidad es el amor
Now that you’ve heard it all
There is the door
