Movin' on
Ingrid and John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring at you
Suddenly everything will be alright
Though your looking past me
Staring at him
I still love you
I want only you
You'll always look through me
Though I'm looking right at you
You'll always look through me
Though I'm looking right at you
You'll always look through me
Though I'm looking right at you
You'll always look through me
If you think this song's about you
Then you're wrong
You broke my heart
Now I'm through with you
Actually I'm not
Stacy please take me back
Though I'm looking right at you
You'll always look through me
Though I'm looking right at you
You'll always look through me
What does brad have that I don't?
You had better leave him
Before I move on
I'm movin' on
The lyrics to Ingrid and John's song "Movin' On" describe the pain of unrequited love. The first verse begins with the singer sitting by a window, staring at the person they love who is looking past them at someone else. Despite this rejection, the singer still loves this person and wants only them. The repeated refrain, "Though I'm looking right at you, you'll always look through me," emphasizes the singer's feelings of being unseen and unheard.
The second verse takes a turn towards anger and bitterness, as the singer declares that the person they are addressing is not the subject of the song. The real person who broke their heart is Stacy, and the singer is not actually through with them: "Stacy please take me back." The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is ready to move on, telling the object of their affection to leave the person they are with before it's too late.
Overall, the lyrics to "Movin' On" capture the conflicting emotions of a love triangle, from longing and heartbreak to anger and resignation. The powerful imagery of looking through someone rather than truly seeing them adds to the emotional impact of the song.
