Right Place
Moodman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve built my world on the idea of happiness
But since I remember, I'd never deal the cards.
I wanted to play this game not for the money
But for the respect and love

I looked for a plank of feelings in every deal
But only I was finding appeared a weak flame
I wanted to believe this time it would inflame
Inside of you and me

The right place lies stone′s throw away
How could we not to find it before?
We are like a recurring dream
Never the same when dreamed again
I will sing for you, I will sing once more
This song is about you, This song is about me
Second time never looks the same
Live and love, feel and dream.

It came out of the blue, overnight
Crucial decision taken with no moment of a doubt
You wanted me to stay longer, so I did
For you as well as for me

The right place lies stone's throw away
How could we not to find it before?
We are like a recurring dream
Never the same when dreamed again
I will sing for you, I will sing once more
This song is about you, This song is about me
We are like a recurring dream
Never the same when dreamed again
I will sing for you, I will sing once more
This song is about you, This song is about me




Second time never looks the same
Live and love, feel and dream.

Overall Meaning

In Moodman's song "Right Place," the lyrics suggest that the persona has always sought happiness in their life but has never been quite successful in achieving it. They have always wanted to play the game of life for love and respect, but the cards never seem to be in their favor. Despite the continuous disappointments encountered while searching for love and respect, the persona keeps looking for that "plank of feelings" in every deal. Instead of finding what they have been searching for, they only found a weak flame which could not ignite the passion within them nor their counterpart. However, the persona remains hopeful that someday, they will find the right person who will help them achieve their dreams.


The first verse of the song describes the struggle of the persona who has placed too much emphasis on the idea of happiness. The persona continues to search, hoping to achieve happiness, which has failed to happen in the past. The persona then realizes that the right place is just a stone's throw away but has always been out of reach. Both the persona and their partner are like a recurring dream that never seems to repeat itself. Therefore they sing for each other, hoping that whatever the future holds for them, they will always find their way back to each other.


The second verse of the song emphasizes the importance of making decisions and taking action without hesitation. The persona hastily makes a crucial decision to stay longer, which pays off in the end. The right place that had been out of reach for so long is now easily accessible, bringing the persona closer to love and happiness, meaning that in the end, the effort made towards achieving the goal pays off.
