Motion
Ace Enders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a way I'm giving up
I guess I should have known
That there's really no control
Through the lies, the morning's bright
Pass the sun, the fog, is mine
All mine, and now I'm up

And oh, oh, oh....

And all the love that I have given by the side
The pain and the fight, the waiting up at night
And I'm falling down again

Another lesson to learn, I'm up
Another message I guess I should've solved
And now I'm wrong

My tongue is tangled and taste of chalk
I'm tired of running around the same old goal
That's always blocked

And oh, oh, oh....

And all the love that I have given by the side
The pain and the fight, the waiting up at night
I'm falling down again

I hold my breath inside
Passed the one I can't deny

You've got to go with the motion, oh
Can you feel it in your bones?
You've got to know
You've got to go with the motion, oh
Can you feel it in your bones?
You've got to know, know, know

When you're in love
When you're in love
When you're in love
When you're in love

Oh, you've got to go with the motion, oh
Can you feel it in your bones?
You've got to know, know, know

You've got to go with the motion, oh
Can you feel it in your bones?
You've got to know, know, know

I hold my breath inside




Passed the one I can't deny
I...

Overall Meaning

The song "Motion" by Ace Enders and a Million Different People is a poignant reflection on the theme of surrender and acceptance. The first stanza highlights the singer's realization that there is no control and they have to let go of the need to control things, even if it means giving up. The lines "Through the lies, the morning's bright/Pass the sun, the fog, is mine/All mine, and now I'm up" suggest a glimmer of hope after this letting go. The chorus, with its repetition of "And all the love that I have given by the side/The pain and the fight, the waiting up at night/I'm falling down again" expresses the pain of holding on to love that cannot be, and the hurt that comes with such experiences. The second stanza continues this theme, with the singer acknowledging the lessons they have learned from their experiences and the feeling of being wronged. The lines "My tongue is tangled and taste of chalk/I'm tired of running around the same old goal/That's always blocked" seems to express frustration and exhaustion with trying to change something that cannot be changed.


The bridge "You've got to go with the motion, oh/Can you feel it in your bones?/You've got to know, know, know" is a call to surrender and to feel and accept the reality around us. It's a reminder that we can't fight against the currents of life, but we can go with the flow and see where it takes us. The repeated lines "When you're in love/Oh, you've got to go with the motion, oh/Can you feel it in your bones?/You've got to know, know, know" seem to suggest that love is the driving force that makes us go with the flow of life.
