Move With Me
Shapeshifter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lead me to the promised land
I'll take you there if you're ready
Dance with me in the summer fields
Groove with me, you've got the deal
You can't hide, disguise is futile
You make me see summer is ready
Take me to the forever shore
You make me feel complete
Here I am, take my hand
Lead me to the promised land
I'll take you there if you're ready
Dance with me in the summer fields
Groove with me, you've got the deal
You can't hide, disguise is futile
You make me see summer is ready
You make me feel complete
Take me to the forever shore
You make me feel complete
Every time you change your mind
And every time you change your mind
Every time you change your mind
Every time you change your mind
Dance with me in the summer fields
Groove with me, you've got the deal
You can't hide, disguise is futile
You make me see summer is ready
You make me feel complete
Take me to the forever shore
You make me feel complete
You make me see summer is ready
You make me feel complete
Take me to the forever shore
You make me feel complete
Here I am, take my hand
Lead me to the promised land
I'll take you there if you're ready
Dance with me in the summer fields
Groove with me, you've got the deal
You can't hide, disguise is futile
The song Move With Me by Shapeshifter is a lively invitation for someone to join and dance with the singer in the fields during an idyllic summer. The lyrics are about seizing the moment and immersing oneself in the present, with lines like "You can't hide, disguise is futile" emphasizing the importance of being authentic and true to oneself. Central to the song is the idea that the person the singer is addressing makes them feel complete, seen in the repeated line "You make me feel complete".
The repetition of the chorus allows for the message of the song to be drilled into the listener's mind, emphasizing the importance of spontaneity and seizing the day. The upbeat tune and the use of the word "groove" further enhance the idea of dancing and feeling free. The lyrics can be interpreted as a call to love and connection, with the "promised land" representing a utopia of sorts, and the "forever shore" as a place of eternal happiness. Ultimately, the song Move With Me encourages the listener to embrace the experience of the present and live in the moment.
