And Yet It Moves
(formerly Maryknoll) Lyrics

The lyrics to "(formerly Maryknoll)'s song And Yet It Moves" convey a sense of submissiveness and a willingness to comply with someone else's desires. The opening lines, "Putting it plainly I'll do what you say, Quote me directly I'll find a way," indicate a willingness to obey and conform to the expectations or demands of another person. The repetition of the phrase "Drowned in tears, you know I'm here, Drowned in tears, you know I hear" suggests a sense of emotional vulnerability and possibly a lack of agency, as if the singer is submerged in their emotions but still attentive to the other person's needs.

The next verse, "If you want to slow dance I can make that real, I could be your slow dance I want that to be real," illustrates the singer's willingness to fulfill the desires of the other person, even going as far as becoming what they want. It could signify a desire for closeness or a sense of longing for a deeper connection. The line "We leave this town at seven, we can make it real" could represent a desire to escape their current circumstances and create a new reality together.

The final lines, "Leave it to me to ignore the things you said, The things before you grew the nerve to take the floor, Grew the nerve and nothing more," suggest that the singer tends to disregard or dismiss the things the other person says, possibly due to a lack of trust or a desire to maintain control. It implies a power dynamic where the other person's opinions or actions hold little significance.

Overall, the lyrics of "And Yet It Moves" convey themes of submission, longing for connection, and a complex power dynamic between the singer and the other person.
