Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
been thinkin' bout the future
Too young to pretend
It's such a waste
to always look behind you
You should be looking straight ahead
Yeah
Before we meet again
Yeah
It's hard
If you had of only seen
At ten thirty four
Flinders street station
I'm looking down the tracks
A uniform man
asking am I peeved off
Why would I want to be that?
Yeah
I'm gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
Yeah
It's hard
If you had of only seen
Take control
and don't be afraid of me
Coz' every once in a while
I think about if ya gonna
get yourself together
You should be happy just to be alive
and just because
you just don't feel like coming home
Don't mean that you'll never arrive
Yeah
I'm gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
Yeah
It's hard
If you had of only seen
Take control
and don't be afraid of me
The song "Move On" by Sparklejet is a melancholic tune about moving on in life. The singer talks about the future and how it's important to focus on what's ahead and not dwell on the past. They reflect on their feelings of sadness and how it's hard to let go of things, but it's necessary to move on. The lyrics suggest that the singer has had some sort of experience that has made them realize the importance of letting go and moving forward.
The chorus, "I'm gonna have to move on before we meet again, yeah it's hard if you only had of seen," shows that the singer needs to keep moving forward before they see someone in their past again because it would be hard for them to confront the person or situation they have left behind. The second verse describes a moment at a train station where a uniformed guard asks if the singer is unhappy. This brings back the memories of what they are leaving behind and it's difficult to detach from their past. The singer advises the listener to take control and not be scared of the changes that come with moving on. They suggest that it's okay to take time for oneself, but it doesn't mean that you will never reach home.
