Movin' On
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only you can tell
Only you can know me
Only you can see what's going on
Only you can choose
Don't you try to own me
Only you can know where I belong

I gave you trust you gave me nothing but pain
It's in the air I breathe
I can't keep wasting all my days and nights
I can't keep trying to believe

I know what I want
I've got to move on
I've seen much better days
You've been in my life too long
It's time for us to go our separate ways
You've been in my life too long

I can move the earth
I can make the wind blow
I can do anything at all
I can firewalk
I can make the tide turn
Only you can see how far I fall

Now I wonder what the hell I'm gonna do
I don't feel safe when you get close
You got me lookin' at the sky for clues
For the love that never shows

I know what I want
I've got to move on
I've seen much better days
You've been in my life too long
It's time for us to go our separate ways
You've been in my life too long

Nothing ever changes 'till the change is made
Nothing changes 'till the change is made, never changes
Nothing ever changes 'till the change is made
Nothing changes 'till the change is made, never changes
Nothing ever changes 'till the change is made
'Till the change is made, 'till the change is made
Nothing ever changes 'till the change is made

I know what I want
I've got to move on
I've seen much better days
You've been in my life too long
It's time for us to go our separate ways
You've been in my life too long

I've seen much better days




I've got to move on
In my life, in my life

Overall Meaning

The Angels' "Movin' On" is a powerful song about the difficulties of breaking away from a toxic relationship. The lyrics emphasize the need for self-awareness and self-determination, as the only person who truly knows what is going on in one's life is oneself. The singer acknowledges the pain and hurt caused by their partner, and how it's preventing them from living a fulfilling life. They've given their trust, yet receive nothing but pain in return. They feel trapped, unable to escape the cycle of hurt and heartache. The chorus, ("I know what I want, I've got to move on, I've seen much better days, You've been in my life too long, It's time for us to go our separate ways"), acknowledges the need for change and willingness to take action, despite the fear and uncertainty. The lyrics repeatedly echo the sentiment that "nothing ever changes 'till the change is made."


In essence, "Movin' On" is a plea for taking control of one's destiny and for breaking free from a toxic relationship. The lyrics speak to many people who can relate to the struggles of escaping a negative cycle, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, self-determination, and the courage to make a change.

@@chrishall6617 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY

And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..



(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.)



@scorpionbaby

I'm breaking down, gonna start from scratch
Shake it off like an Etch A Sketch
My lips are saying goodbye
My eyes are finally dry

I'm not the way that I used to be
I took the record off repeat
You killed me but I survived
And now I'm coming alive

I'll never be that girl again
No, oh, oh
I'll never be that girl again
No, oh, oh

My innocence is wearing thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me
Miss Movin' On
Oh, oh, oh
Miss Movin' On
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

I broke the glass that surrounded me (surrounded me)
I ain't the way you remember me (remember me)
I was such a good girl
So fragile but no more

I jumped the fence to the other side (the other side)
My whole world was electrified (electrified)
Now I'm no longer afraid
It's Independence Day (it's Independence Day)

I'll never be that girl again
No, oh, oh
I'll never be that girl again
No, oh, oh

My innocence is wearing thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me
Miss Movin' On

Everything is changing
And I never wanna go back to the way it was (to the way it was)
I'm finding who I am
And who I am from here on out is gonna be enough (it's gonna be enough)
It's gonna be enough

I'll never be that girl again
No, oh, oh
I'll never be that girl again
Oh, oh, oh

My innocence is wearing thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me
Miss Movin' On
Oh, oh, oh
Miss Movin' On (On and on and on and on)
Oh, oh, oh
Miss Movin' On (On and on and on and on)
Oh, oh, oh
Miss Movin' On
(Hey, yeah, yeah) oh, oh, oh
(Yeah) I'm movin' on
