Moving On
TCM & Anklebreaker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I be where you are?
You were gone from the start
Now you tear me apart
I gave you my trust
But you treated me like I couldn't see
I thought you were the one
You'd feel the same if you were at the back of her mind
Suddenly the rain has wiped away the dust from my eyes
My eyes
I gave you my trust
But you treated me like I couldn't see (see)
But I know that, I'll never be the girl that you need (you need)
You'd feel the same if you were at the back of her mind
Suddenly the rain has wiped away the dust from my eyes
My eyes (my eyes)
The lyricist of "Moving On" is expressing feelings of loneliness and betrayal. They are alone in the dark, hoping to be with someone they love, but that person is gone and has left them feeling torn apart. The lyricist had trusted and believed in this person, but they were not reciprocated with the same level of trust and respect. Despite wanting to be the one for this person, they realize they will never be the girl that they need.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the other person would feel the same way if they were in the lyricist's shoes. The rain serves as a metaphorical means of washing away the dust from the lyricist's eyes, perhaps implying that they now see this person for who they truly are. The repetition of "my eyes" at the end of the song further emphasizes that the lyricist has gained a new perspective and is no longer blinded by their previous emotions.

When i see the names of specific producers I know it can only be good tracks, TCM and Anklebreaker are one of those producers (Anklebreaker doesn't make tracks but makes really good melodies),
