Moving On
Eric Silver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wear this smile because I've cried too much
Today I feel much stronger, happier who knows
Just sure about how little I know, oh I don't know
To know the tricks and tomorrows
The taste of bread and tears of sorrow
We need love to feel life's rhythm
We need rain for flowers to grow
I think making a good life could just be
To understand the walk and keep moving on
And like an old cowboy driving the cattle I will pass the days
On this path I go, oh I'm the road
Everyone loves sometime, everybody cries
One day we arrive, another we leave
Everyone writes their own story
Each one of us has the gift inside to be able to be happy
I walk slowly because I've been in such a rush
I wear this smile 'cause I've cried so much
We all write our own story
Each one of us has the gift inside to be able to be happy
In the opening stanza of Eric Silver's "Moving On," the singer reflects on the difficulties and heartaches they have faced in life, suggesting that they have learned to slow down and take things more deliberately as a result. This newfound sense of calm is reflected in the gentle, subdued melody and the singer's tone of quiet contemplation. The second stanza turns to a reflection on the things we need in order to be happy and successful in life: love, peace, and the occasional hardship that allows us to grow and blossom. The metaphor of flowers needing rain to grow emphasizes the idea that sometimes we need to face difficult times in order to become stronger and learn important lessons.
The chorus of "Moving On" emphasizes the importance of perseverance in life, likening the journey to that of an "old cowboy driving the cattle." The idea of a long, winding road becomes a symbol for the journey of life, with all of its ups and downs, joys and sorrows. Everyone experiences love and heartbreak, this song posits, and everyone has the ability to write their own story and find happiness -- the key is to keep moving forward and not get bogged down by the past. The repetition of the opening lines in the final stanza reinforces the idea that even after many struggles and challenges, the singer has learned to keep moving forward, taking a more measured approach and finding happiness in life's small and simple pleasures.
