Make A Move
Lost Prophets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So are we lost or do we know
Which direction we should go
Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands and lead the way

'Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our awnsers
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for ourselves
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Are we meant to take the pain
Should we sit around and wait
All we need is to say all the words that
I never liked, you like to make us hate (???)

'Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our awnsers

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for ourselves
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
It's time to make a move

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
it's time to make a... move!

It's not enough
To let it ?
Where'd it go ?
It's all wrong

So sick of waiting for our answers...

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for ourselves
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for ourselves




Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move (move, move, move, move).

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Lost Prophets' song "Make A Move" describe the frustration of feeling stuck and powerless in life. The opening lines question whether or not we know the direction we should be moving in, or if we are lost and waiting for someone else to lead us. The repeated refrain of "Wake up" indicates a desire to break free from this stagnant state, and the frustration of waiting for something to happen.


The second verse delves deeper into this feeling of powerlessness, suggesting that perhaps we have to choose between taking pain and waiting for change to happen. The line "All we need is to say all the words that I never liked, you like to make us hate" likely refers to the idea that we need to confront the things that make us uncomfortable or unhappy in order to move forward.


Overall, the song is a call to action, encouraging listeners to wake up and take control of their lives instead of waiting for something else to happen.

So are we lost or do we know
Which direction we should go
Sit around and wait for someone
To take our hands and lead the way
'Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our answers
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move
Are we meant to take the pain
Should we sit around and wait
Are we being saved
Or was I another lie you made to make us hate
'Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our answers
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a...move!
It's not enough
To let it run
Where's the truth
It's all wrong
So sick of waiting for our answers...
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Make a move (move, move, move, move)

This bands synergy was on par with slipknot for me. How the music flows and perfectly placed words and sounds...screams... Its funny how some of the greatest voices have such dark pasts or demons inside them. Corey Taylor has a traumatic past but never did he stoop to the level of Ian cz he knows what true pain and darkness is.... Its Like Mr Robot said in Ep1 why he hates society when his therapists asks him... The Line where he says... is it because all our heroes are counterfeit...

"What is it about society that disappoints you so much?"

Elliot thinks, "Oh I don't know, is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?

Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit; the world itself's just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our burning commentary of bullshit masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.

Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money.
I'm not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy but because we wanna be sedated. Because it's painful not to pretend, because we're cowards.

Fuck Society."

The music is great, even if the singer itself is a total sociopathic douchebag.
