On The Move
Resurrection Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No motion sickness, just a non-stop rolling in the land of disease,
Won't be fooled with the wasted notion of a reason for the status of make believe,
Make believe.
Got just a few needs,
Got ears for the right leads,
Gonna see what can't be seen,
Emotion.
On the move,
On the move.
The song "On The Move" by Resurrection Band is a powerful piece that can be interpreted in various ways. The lyrics describe a state of constant motion and an overwhelming feeling of being pulled in different directions. The opening line "On the move, no motion sickness, just a non-stop rolling in the land of disease" portrays a sense of resilience and determination despite the cultural and societal challenges that they face. The lyricist notes that these challenges are often just illusions and that they refuse to be fooled by "wasted notions" of a reason for the "status of make believe".
The song then transitions to a powerful chorus that suggests that the songwriter has a set of specific goals and a clear sense of purpose "got just a few needs, got ears for the right leads, gonna see what can't be seen". The song highlights that this is a journey that requires the use of all senses, "all eyes, all ears, emotion". All these elements are fused to underscore the intensity of the journey the writer is undertaking being "on the move". Thus, the song suggests the need for resilience, determination, focus and vision in navigating the vagaries of life's journey.
