It Don't Move Me
Peter Bjorn and John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause they don't move me no more
They don't move me no more
Put them all away
Forget photos and letters
All the people that matter
They don't move me no more
And you're no longer mine
It's surprising how rapidly
We were changing from you and me
No matter how you count, oh no
It will go to show
When history is done
And everything is over
Just to keep us warm
It's slowly getting colder
There's nothing to explain
It's hard to stay the same
History is done
And everything is gone
Early morning, and late night
Going over the same fight
Don't move me no more
You don't move me no more
And I don't even mind
All these things I keep
Without caring too deep
Gonna put it to sleep
I can run much faster
When nothing wears me down
He can change what it's been before
It's erased and you can't restore
Let the screen stay black, go go
I don't want it back
When history is done
And everything is over
Just to keep us warm
It's slowly getting colder
There's nothing to explain
It's hard to stay the same
History is done
And everything is gone
Everything is gone
Everything is gone
Everything is gone
Everything is gone
The lyrics to Peter Bjorn and John's song It Don't Move Me are about moving on from a past relationship and letting go of reminders of that person. The first verse urges the listener to put away things that used to have sentimental value, such as books, magazines, photos, and letters, because they no longer hold any emotional power. The chorus repeats the phrase "You don't move me no more" to emphasize that the singer has moved on and is no longer affected by the memories of the past relationship.
The second verse describes how quickly things can change in a relationship and how that change can lead to a sense of detachment. The bridge suggests that even though memories fade and relationships end, we can hold onto those memories to keep us warm in the present as everything else fades away. The final section of the song has the singer reflecting on how much easier it is to move on and keep running when nothing is weighing them down, and how memories can't be restored once they have been erased.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of detachment and acceptance of the ending of a relationship, and the importance of letting go of reminders of the past in order to move forward.

We were changing from you and me
Our relationship was evolving differently than expected
No matter how you count, oh no
Regardless of how one looks at it
It will go to show
It will be evident that things have changed

Without caring too deep
But I don't have any strong attachment to them
Gonna put it to sleep
I'm going to let them go
I can run much faster
Without these possessions dragging me down
When nothing wears me down
I can keep moving forward
He can change what it's been before
The past can be rewritten
It's erased and you can't restore
But you can never bring it back
Let the screen stay black, go go
Don't try to revive our relationship
I don't want it back
I've moved on from our past
Everything is gone
Everything from our past is now lost
Everything is gone
Our previous relationship is irretrievable
Everything is gone
Our past can never be relived
Everything is gone
There's no going back

@jenniferrose43
Besides LOVING this song with every ounce of my being, I ADORE the characters in this video. Adore. I lie awake at night and think about how keenly kinetic and perfectly melodramatic the dance moves are and how creepy and contained the other guy is. Now that is a good video: one you cannot stop thinking about.
