Move On
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

Now it seems I’ve been young, dug my hole in the ground
In my past, I made mistakes and faced challenges that have brought me down

To me there’s only up, there ain’t no point in looking down
I choose to focus on the positives and not dwell on the negatives

However hard I try, I only get weaker
Despite my efforts, I feel like I'm losing strength

Seems my lies and worries got my mind in a sleeper hold
My own deceit and anxieties are suffocating my thoughts

What you gotta do is never get yourself down
You should never let yourself be discouraged

Bastards do that for you, get you deeper in the ground
Others may try to bring you down, but don't let them succeed

Keep out of trouble, ain’t no trouble being pure
Avoid conflicts and stay true to yourself

Seems like all you bastards gave me something to ignore now
The negativity and criticism from others have become insignificant to me

Move on, forget it
Let go of the past and move forward

When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters
At the beginning of my rap career, I faced criticism and negativity from detractors

Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
I encountered malicious individuals and learned to identify them

And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
I aimed high and worked hard, often in obscurity

And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
Eventually, I emerged with a solution by combining lyrics and melodies

Hennesey shots and glocks, all these fools on the block
Referencing materialism and the presence of ignorant individuals

Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
Questioning the idea that being a gangster is necessary for success

I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy
I am an ordinary person, down-to-earth and relatable

With my head in the sky
Dreaming big and having lofty goals

Ed Sheeran, Urban Angel coming ready to die
Referring to himself as a determined artist, ready to give his all

So see the signs, stand to the side
Take notice of the indications and be prepared for what's to come

Open your eyes and take a look and realise
Be attentive and understand the truth

The resurrection's arrived
A metaphorical rebirth or resurgence is occurring

And as the mist clears, homie I arise
As the confusion fades, I confidently emerge

From my tomb in disguise
Coming out of a difficult situation with a different persona

I'm all alone, Alonestar
Feeling isolated, representing himself as Alonestar

Urban Angel rising from the ashes
Symbolizing a comeback and finding strength after failure

Surprising all haters, guiding, advising them all to steady move
Shocking those who doubted him and offering them advice to improve themselves

Now back up!
Asserting his dominance and commanding others to step aside

All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
Expressing his desire to create and utilize music in a harsh world

Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music
He aims to avoid exploiting music and being influenced by superficial industry standards

Who did it, who is it, who's in it, who …what the fuck does it matter?
Questioning the relevance of knowing the details about other musicians' success

Chitter chatter, don't matter, yidder, yidder, yadder
Suggesting that gossip and idle talk hold no importance

It don't matter to me
He remains unaffected by such trivial matters

All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
His main goal is to maintain integrity while fighting against the music industry's challenges

To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me?
He desires to stay true to himself in a corrupt and demanding world, questioning if anyone listens

Yeah, yeah, can you hear me?
Reiterating his plea for attention and understanding
