I Shall Be Moved
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a shelf
We woke up
Not erected
On a plain
You´re close to get me wrong
Have you seen,
Have you seen the new invention?
It´s coming down
From the mountain in your head.

All that we find
We write it down on our blank list
It´s shaking us around
Like a twister in our heads
We don´t know
How to get involved to this one
We´re reaching out for a minute now
But it´s too late

Hey, how are you feeling now?
There is a big black shadow that´s going around
Hey, how are you feeling now?
There is a big black shadow that´s coming down

Now you see you´ll get it back
You want xtc
But your love is heroin
You need it
All you bless is greeding
What is the mess you are feeding?




What you can´t believe is true
And what you don´t deceive is your end.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ken's song "I Shall Be Moved" employ abstract and enigmatic language to depict a sense of confusion and disorientation in the face of technological advancement and social upheaval. In the opening lines, the singer observes that they have "woke up" to find themselves "on a shelf" and "not erected," suggesting a sense of detachment and alienation from the world around them. The next line, "On a plain / You're close to get me wrong," is similarly cryptic, perhaps indicating a feeling of vulnerability and exposure in the midst of the vast and complex forces at work.


The lyrics then turn to a description of a "new invention" that is "coming down / From the mountain in your head." This image could be interpreted as a metaphor for the rapid progress of technology and the internet, which has transformed the way we communicate and experience the world. The following lines describe how this "twister" of change and uncertainty is "shaking us around" and leaving us unsure of how to respond. Ultimately, despite our attempts to "reach out" and engage with these changes, it may be too late to fully understand or control them.


The final stanza of the song takes a more confrontational tone, as the singer challenges the listener to consider the consequences of their actions and beliefs. They suggest that we may be addicted to material possessions ("greed") and unable to distinguish truth from falsehood ("what you can't believe is true / And what you don't deceive is your end"). Overall, the lyrics to "I Shall Be Moved" are characterized by a sense of unease and ambiguity, suggesting that the complexities of the modern world may be difficult or impossible to fully comprehend.
