Move Me
Decades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wait around
Take in the silence
Soon as it hurts
Can′t believe she's waiting for me
Can't believe she′s standing there
I don′t try, I never try, I never have to try
I cannot change
I stay the same
For now, only for now
I cannot change
I stay the same
For now, only for now
Don't go home alone
I won′t come too close
It's what you′d expect from me
It's what I'd expect from me
I can′t come this close and leave you now
I can′t, I can't
I won′t come this close and leave you now
I can't, I can′t
For now, only for now
I cannot change
I stay the same
For now, only for now
Hurt me
Am I in the way
Hurt me
No, no, no
Hurt me
Am I in the way
Hurt me
No, no, no
The lyrics to Decades's song "Move Me" appear to be about a person who is struggling with both their own feelings and their relationships with others. The repeated phrase "I cannot change, I stay the same, for now, only for now" suggests a sense of stagnation or an inability to move forward, at least in the current moment. The song also touches on themes of self-sabotage and fear of intimacy, as evidenced by the lines "Don't go home alone, I won't come too close, It's what you'd expect from me, It's what I'd expect from me" and "I can't come this close and leave you now."
However, as the song progresses, the singer seems to be wrestling with these issues and slowly beginning to open up. The lines "Can't believe she's waiting for me" and "Hurt me, am I in the way" suggest an awareness of the other person's feelings and a willingness to confront their own insecurities. The repeated plea of "Hurt me, no, no, no" could be interpreted as a desire to be vulnerable and allow themselves to be hurt, rather than continuing to push others away.
Overall, "Move Me" is a thematically complex song that deals with issues of self-doubt, fear of intimacy, and the struggle to break free from negative patterns of behavior. The repeated refrain of "For now, only for now" underscores the sense that change and growth may be possible in the future, but for now the singer is simply trying to navigate the present.
