Move
FINK JOHN LEGEND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake, shake, quiver, quiver
I'm awoken by a cold shiver
Wind blows change, change
Sweet rushing through my veins

No, I just might die
Overtaken by the high tide
Feel the rain against my skin
Drown my soul in the water again

Move on me
Move on me
Move on me

Shake, shake, should have learned
Get that close and you might get burned
Sweet heat and the sweet lies
So betrayed by the look in your eyes

That look I know so well
It's a heaven with a taste of hell
On your lips and down within
Drown my soul, baby let it begin

Move on me
Move on me
Move on me

Give me two hands I can hold
I'll tell you things I've never told
Move on me
If you move on me, yeah

Baby, timing's everything
Now's the time to let you in
Move on me
If you move on me, yeah

If you move on me
If you move on me
If you move on me
If you move





Move on me

Overall Meaning

The song "Move" by Fink and John Legend portrays a person who is in search of change and is open to new experiences. The opening lines "Shake, shake, quiver, quiver, I'm awoken by a cold shiver, wind blows change, change, sweet rushing through my veins" describe a person who feels stuck in their current situation and wants to break free. The person is ready for a change, which is symbolized by the wind blowing and the sweet rush running through their veins. However, the change they seek is not easy and may come at a cost, as described in the line "No, I just might die, overtaken by the high tide", indicating a fear of being overwhelmed by the changes.


The chorus of the song "Move on me" signifies that the person wants to be moved by someone or something. They want to experience new feelings and emotions. The line "Shake, shake, should have learned, get that close and you might get burned" implies that the person has been hurt before and may be hesitant to open themselves up to new experiences. The lyrics "That look I know so well, it's heaven with a taste of hell, on your lips and down within, drown my soul, baby let it begin" indicate a sense of temptation and desire to succumb to the new experiences despite the potential dangers involved.


In conclusion, "Move" is a song about a person who desires change and experiences, but is also aware of the accompanying risks. It portrays the conflict that arises when one is hesitant to leave their comfort zone but is also seeking something new.

I feel the presence of Fink in this song, amazing producer

@PeterDeGree

Amazing! Still that Fink "feel" while John makes this track his own.

@WhisperingLullabies

I love that this happened. Still got the flair of the original, but with Legend's voice, it's somehow deeper and darker. I love it.

Shake, shake,
Quiver, quiver
Been awaken by a cold shiver
Wind blows change, change
Sweet rushing through my veins
Good Lord I just might die
Taken over by the high tide
Feel the rain against my skin
Drown my soul in the water again



Move on me (2x) I think you outta make a move on me
Move on me (2x) I think you outta make a move on me
Move on me (2x) let the water make a move on me.




Shake, shake,
Should have learned
Get too close and I might get burned
By the sweet heat and the sweet lies
So betrayed by the look in your eyes
Good Lord I know so well
I wanna get to heaven with a taste of hell
Still on my lips and down within
Quench my soul in your water again




Move on me (2x) I think you outta make a move on me
Move on me (2x) I think you outta make a move on me
Move on me (2x) let the water make a move on me.




Give me two hands I can hold
I'll tell you things I've never told
If you move on me
If you move on me

I need something I can feel
Something pure, something real
Move on me

Make a move on me



Move on me...
