Move Over
Red Shahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving you alone
And these are my reasons
I never came home
So this is my answer, baby
For all you are, woman
And all that you′re not
You take me for a fool
Mirror's right there
You want me to lose well
To see if they care
So this is my answer, baby
For all you are, woman
And all that you′re not
So move over, baby
I'm not a-missing you none
So move over, darling
And I've moved out of town
So move over, baby
Well I′m over and out
I ain′t a-missing you none
Your heart's no good
And everything you think is bad
You want me to lose well
To see if they care
So this is my answer, baby
For all you are, woman
And all that you′re not
So move over, baby
I'm not a-missing you none
So move over, darling
And I′ve moved out of town
So move over, baby
Well I'm over and out
I ain′t a-missing you none
So move over, baby
I'm not a-missing you none
The lyrics to Red Shahan's song Move Over depict the end of a toxic and unhealthy relationship. The singer in the song has come to the realization that he needs to leave his lover for his own well-being. The first two lines of the chorus, "So move over, baby / I'm not a-missing you none," indicate that he is moving on and leaving her behind. The verses explain the reasons for his decision - he was never truly welcomed or valued in the relationship, and his partner wanted him to fail in order to prove a point. The line "your heart's no good" implies that his partner was not emotionally available or supportive.
The repetition of the line "So this is my answer, baby / For all you are, woman / And all that you're not" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer is standing up for himself and leaving a one-sided and unsatisfying relationship. The phrase "move over" also underscores his desire to create space between himself and his former partner.
Overall, Move Over is a powerful song about self-awareness, courage, and moving on from unhealthy relationships.
