Moving On
Asking Alexandria/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traded in his misery for the lonely life of the road.
The years were cruel to him no
He won't let them go
Lays awake tryna' find the man inside
To pack his bags and escape this world
I never been so torn up in all of my life
I've never felt so hopeless
Than I do tonight
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on
He wanted to change the world, to make it all worthwhile.
So he put his pen to paper and poured out everything inside.
He's read the scene and unpacked the man that he had became.
So leave him trailing on the fasttrack to falling into his grave.
I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should of seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on.
I can't believe I've come so far in such a time,
And I'm still fighting on my own.
I fucked up to catch my breath I may never breathe again, so just notice
I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I can't believe I let myself breakdown.
I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should of seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
I don't wanna do this anymore
I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should of seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
No I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on.
A boy of anguish now, he's a man of soul,
Traded in his misery for the lonely life of the road.
The lyrics of Asking Alexandria's song Moving On seem to describe a person who has gone through a lot of struggles and tough situations, leading him to trade his life of misery for a solitary life on the road. This person has seen many years pass him by, and the hurt he experienced during that time refuses to let go. He is lying awake trying to find himself - to find the reason why he must pack his bags and leave this world behind.
The singer of the song is at a point in his life where he has hit rock bottom. He states that he has never been so torn up and hopeless before, and he can no longer live a life of sadness and regret. He wants to move on and find a way to make his life feel worthwhile again. The lyrics also address the concept of the singer's eventual death. He has realized that he needs to make every moment in his life count because time is short, and he doesn't want to end up regretting not doing enough.

@Airmode9000
He fucked up his voice by drinking and smoking too much and also by improper screaming
Danny sounds cool in album versions, but not live
@moranamiller
@Airmode9000 freaking agree with you
@ReneeStar121
I thought he sounded amazing live. Saw them back in April. To each their own I guess.
@adamflake3276
I love AA, but he just does not sound good live.
@Alecfisher01
@Airmode9000 i dont think danny smoked, and drinking actually hydrates you, drinking dehydrating is a myth
