Move
[Thousand Foot Krutch] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're making the choice
Tell me all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed
[Chorus]
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it
Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choice to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up , you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears
It takes everything I am
If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears,
It takes everything I am
[Chorus]
I come crashing to the floor
And I know there must be more like me
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free
Breath, and leave until the storm is over
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passing over
So breath, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away
[Chorus]

The lyrics suggest that facing one's fears takes a lot of courage and strength, as it requires giving everything you have. The line "either move or we will all be destroyed" may be interpreted as a call to action, urging individuals to take charge of their lives or risk falling apart.

Despite the turmoil, there's something beautiful beneath the surface
So breath, let's leave until the storm is over
Take a breath and let's find some peace until the chaos has passed
Because I want to take you away
I want to help you find a better place
