Motion
Aereogramme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how should I relax
It's happening now
It's happening now
It's all in motion now
We are in motion now
God, I hope, we are in motion now
So how should I embrace you
And how should I come back
I'm conscious now
I'm conscious now
It's all in motion now
We are in motion now
God, I hope, we are in motion now
It's all I ever wanted
The lyrics of Aereogramme's "Motion" appear to be about a moment of realization or self-awareness. The singer seems to be addressing someone else, possibly a lover, and trying to figure out how to interact with them: "So how should I surround you / And how should I relax." In this moment, the singer seems to be fully present and in the moment, recognizing that "It's happening now," and acknowledging their consciousness with the line "I'm conscious now."
The repetition of the phrase "It's all in motion now" could be interpreted in a few different ways. On one level, the phrase could be read as an acknowledgement that life is always changing and moving forward, and that the singer is aware of this fact. On another level, the repetition could be read as an attempt to convince the subject of the singer's affections that they are both "in motion now," that they are both moving forward together. The phrase "God, I hope," adds a note of uncertainty to this interpretation - the singer is hoping, but not entirely sure, that they are both moving forward.
Overall, the lyrics of "Motion" seem to be about a powerful moment of connection, recognition, and hope. The singer is aware of the current moment, and wants to embrace it fully with the other person. The repetition of the phrase "It's all I ever wanted" suggests that this moment of connection is something that the singer has been yearning for.
