(Truth be told I heard 'tsuki' [moon] instead of 'tsugi' [next] the first time I listened through, and I looked back at the line where she mentions the sun and the long night, etc etc, and I thought she was being poetic and I was just too dumb to be able to translate it properly...then I listened again and realized maybe she was saying something else. I hope I'm right about that, tbh. "I understand so much it hurts/that all I have left is the moon" really just doesn't have the same impact.)

Edit: I keep bouncing back and forth between my original interpretation and the sun/moon symbolism. Anyone else care to share their input? I've changed it for the time being, but...
