Move
Slam/Slam Feat. Dee C. Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up
Towards your destination
You may find, from time to time, complications
Bite your lip, oh child, just take a trip
Though there may be a wet road ahead
You cannot slip, now
And keep on pushing
Just a little faith, you can put your mind to it
You can surely do it
Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up
Move on up!
The song "Move" by Slam/Slam Feat. Dee C. Lee starts with the lines "Hush now child, and don't you cry. Your folks might understand you, by and by." These lines suggest that the singer is talking to someone who is perhaps feeling helpless, downcast, and without anyone to turn to. The singer implores the person to move on up towards their destination, which could be a metaphor for happiness, success, or just finding one's place in the world. This is reinforced in the next line, which reads, "You may find, from time to time, complications." This line suggests that life can be tough, but it is important to keep moving forward in spite of the difficulties.
The singer then advises the listener to "Bite your lip, oh child, just take a trip. Though there may be a wet road ahead, you cannot slip, now." These lines suggest that the person must be resolute in their journey and stay focused on their goals, even if the path is treacherous. The chorus repeats the idea of "Moving on up" towards one's destination and "keeping on pushing". It is a song that is meant to inspire and motivate, to encourage people to not give up on their dreams and goals.
