Motion
Boy Harsher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember that night, you took me away,
We went so fast, I flew away.
Sky was black, my hair was fire,
Central lane, lets drive forever.
Remember that song you heard on the way.
Tired of talking, lets disappear.
You touched the one, we fly off the world.
Close your eyes, it will all move on.
I said,
Lets drive forever.
Lets drive forever.
Into it with you in the night you peel off with your friend,
But you are on fire that night, I can't walk away from you.
Remember that night, you drove me away

I told you, you were the only way.
And then you cried, I want you forever.
Kissed your mouth, lets go forever.
I said remember that night you took me away,
We went so fast, I flew away.
Sky was black, my hair was fire.




Central lane, lets drive forever.
I said

Overall Meaning

Boy Harsher's song "Motion" is a reflective piece that tells the story of a night between two people where they drive away together, desperate to escape the world around them.

The setting, along with the fast-paced music, adds to the sense of urgency and rebellion that the characters feel.


As the song unfolds, we learn that the couple had been hearing a song on the radio as they drove away onto this pathless journey.

The lyrics reveal a sense of neediness between the two people - they want to be together forever, despite any obstacles that may come their way. The idea of driving "forever" is not just a physical act but an emotional journey that the two characters share together, symbolising their commitment to each other. Overall, "Motion" is a powerful song of escapism and passion, evoking feelings of freedom, rebellion, and a fierce desire to live life on one's own terms.

Блин, они просто гениальны. Я тут перевел примерно текст песни на основе имеющихся не очень хороших переводов. Я так же могу быть не точен. но смысл классный:
Помнишь ту ночь, когда ты забрал меня?
Мы ехали так быстро, что я улетела.
Небо было черным, мои волосы были огненными.
Центральный переулок, давай ездить вечно.
Вспомни ту песню, Что ты слышал по дороге.
Устала от разговоров, давай просто исчезнем.
Ты прикоснулся чему то важному, мы улетаем прочь от мира.
Закрой глаза, все будет продолжаться.
И я сказала:
Давай ездить вечно.
Давай ездить вечно.
Я была очарована тобой, но затем ты срываешься в ночь со своим другом,
В ту ночь ты в огне,
я не могу уйти от тебя.
Помнишь ту ночь, когда ты прогнал меня?
Я говорила тебе, что ты был единственным выходом.
А потом ты заплакал.
- Я хочу тебя навсегда!
Я поцеловала твой рот.
- Давай уйдем навсегда!
Я сказала: "Помни ту ночь, когда ты забрал меня.
Мы ехали так быстро, что я улетела.
Небо было черным, мои волосы были огненными.
Центральный переулок, давай ездить вечно."
И я сказала...
