Move
Lisa Lois Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm tired of being treated like a stepping stone
Too many times you talked down to me
So many signs to leave
I'm walking, HEY!
Walking away with a smile on my face
So move outta my way
Save your breath there's nothing more to say
So move outta my way
No promises could ever make me stay
Happy that I said goodbye, yeah, yeah
Cause once upon a time I would giving it in
Too many nights cried myself to sleep
Too many days you hurt me
I'm walking
Walking away with a smile on my face, HEY!
(Chorus)
Move outta my way
Save your breath there's nothing more to say
So move outta my way
No promises could ever make me stay
On Monday you put me down
Tuesday I kicked you out
By Wednesday I took you back
On Thursday what made me wanna do that
Friday, Saturday, Sunday's the same
You being nasty and calling me names
But no one blamed me, cause I'm walking away
(Chorus)
Move outta my way
Save your breath there's nothing more to say
So move outta my way
No promises could ever make me stay
Move outta my way
Save your breath there's nothing more to say
So move outta my way
No promises could ever make me stay
In the song "Move" by Lisa Lois, the singer speaks about dealing with mistreatment in a relationship and deciding to finally let go. In the opening lines "I don't wanna be alone, no, no / But I'm tired of being treated like a stepping stone", Lisa Lois is expressing her desire to be in a fulfilling relationship but acknowledging that she has been used and taken for granted far too many times. The next line "Too many times you talked down to me / So many signs to leave" implies that the person she's with has been verbally abusive towards her and she's ignored the warning signs of their toxic relationship.
The chorus "So move outta my way / Save your breath there's nothing more to say / So move outta my way / No promises could ever make me stay" is Lisa's way of telling her partner that she's done with the relationship and there's no convincing her otherwise. She's made up her mind to walk away and not give the relationship another chance. In the second verse she sings "Happy that I said goodbye, yeah, yeah / Cause once upon a time I would giving it in / Too many nights cried myself to sleep / Too many days you hurt me" which indicates that leaving the relationship was the right thing for her to do. She no longer has to deal with the pain and suffering that she experienced while being with this person.
The song's bridge "On Monday you put me down / Tuesday I kicked you out / By Wednesday I took you back / On Thursday what made me wanna do that / Friday, Saturday, Sunday's the same / You being nasty and calling me names / But no one blamed me, cause I'm walking away" is a reflection of Lisa Lois' past with her partner. They have had a tumultuous relationship where they constantly break up and get back together. Lisa is fully aware that she's making the right decision to walk away from the relationship despite the judgements from others.
