Signs
B. Motion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for an answer up high
Or is it all wasted time?
Everything is crumbling around me
Feels like the ending of the times
Or is it all just a sign?
Uh, I dozed off in my notebook
Hey, I've been traveling for lifetimes
Still I got many miles before it's over
Yeah, I kept it hundred like I'm suppose to
But everything in the world ain't kosher
See it's crazy when your friends turn to strangers
But then strangers running up like they know you
And the further away from reality I go
I can feel the truth getting closer
But hey, it's a path that we all on
If you in the fast lane or the slow one
And you might break down on the shoulder
You just gotta know who to call for the tow-truck
I guess we all gotta exit to the next boulevard when the road's up
Looking at the world through my rear-view
Searching for an answer up high
But is it all wasted time?
Simulated automated breakthroughs
Everything appears to be fine
Or are we all digitized?
Everything is crumbling around me
Feels like the ending of the times
Or is it all just a sign?
Yeah, sometimes
Sometimes I wonderif what I'm seeing in front of me
Is even real
Yeah, go 'n roll up some of that killa
We call this slasher smoking
Gone off those Michael Myers
I can barely keep my lashes open
6 shots of the rum I'm done
Thinking about my partners death
I'm angry, in a flash he was gone
Man how can that day not rearrange me
All of my days, they cloudy
All of my nights, they rowdy
He told me "'Tre keep suckers in your rear view"
If so I'm smashing proudly
Is it all in my head?
Am I just wasting time?
All of my rear-view mirror
Looking for answers 'bout to lose my mind
Looking at the world through my rear-view
Searching for an answer up high
But is it all wasted time?
Simulated automated breakthroughs
Everything appears to be fine
Or are we all digitized?
They say you only get one life time
Then it's gone in a blink of an eye
Or is it all just in my mind?
Everything is crumbling around me
Feels like the ending of the times
Or is it all just a sign?
I saw the lights dancing up so high
I wonder is it really a sign?
Or just imagination, imagination
As golden rivers flooded off the sky
Pouring from the sands of time
Congratulations, we finally made it
I saw the lights dancing up so high
I wonder is it really a sign?
Or just imagination, imagination
As golden rivers flooded off the sky
Pouring from the sands of time
Congratulations, we finally made it
Looking at the world through my rear-view
Searching for an answer up high
But is it all wasted time?
Simulated automated breakthroughs
Everything appears to be fine
Or are we all digitized?
They say you only get one life time
Then it's gone in a blink of an eye
Or is it all just in my mind?
Everything is crumbling around me
Feels like the ending of the times
Or is it all just a sign?
The lyrics to B. Motion's song "Signs" delve into the artist's contemplation of the state of the world and its potential downfall. He questions whether his search for answers is a futile endeavor, and whether the signs of destruction he sees around him are simply his imagination or a true indication of the end times. The use of the metaphor of looking through a rear-view mirror adds to the sense of uncertainty and backwards glancing, as if the past is catching up with the present. The references to death and loss also contribute to the overall mood of introspection and melancholy.
In the second verse, B. Motion reflects on his personal experiences and struggles, particularly the loss of a friend. He turns to substance use to cope with his grief, but ultimately contemplates whether he is wasting his time and only seeing what he wants to believe. The final chorus brings the song to a more hopeful conclusion, with the artist asserting that despite the chaos and uncertainty, there is reason to celebrate and appreciate the fact that we are still alive.
Overall, "Signs" is a thoughtful and introspective song that draws on both personal and societal struggles to explore questions of purpose and meaning in life.
