Jump Music
The Big Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The silence has faded
Jump music, you play it
We'll stick together, and we'll make it
Out on the street, with all the people you meet
Fighting for your corner, use anthems as our armor
No riffs are wasted
Jump music, my lover
Inhale sweet vapors
Out on the street, with all the people you meet
Fighting for your corner, use anthems as our armor
I move in slow motion, move in slow motion
So fast, we move in slow motion
Slow motion, move in slow motion
Silence is torture
Jump music, hold me in your arms
Forbidden love, and secret charms
Jump music, a memory
Of love, a brief history
Out on the street, with all the people you meet
Fighting for your corner, use anthems as our armor
Move in slow motion, move in slow motion
So fast, you move in slow motion
Slow motion, move in slow motion
Silence is torture
Oh we, we won't die wandering
'Cause we, we dance to our own beat
Oh we, we won't die wandering
'Cause we, we dance to our own beat
I move in slow motion, move in slow motion
So fast, you move in slow motion
Slow motion, move in slow motion
Silence is torture
