Move
The Tree Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gotta keep running
And get over you
Who I thought I was, was yesterday
I did not stand my ground

You brought me to my knees
I found it hard to breathe you
I thought that I could build a wall that you could not break through

Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Tell me why, tell my why because I'm standing right outside your door
With nothing left to say but I still feel the same
Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Because I can't move on

This is feeling heavy now
Wanna dig myself a hole and climb right in, oh yeah
And just when I thought I'd won, the thoughts of you are all but gone
I keep writing the same song

You brought me to my knees
I found it hard to breathe you
I thought that I could build a wall that you could not break through

Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Tell me why, tell my why because I'm standing right outside your door
With nothing left to say but I still feel the same
Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Because I can't move on

Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Tell me why, tell my why because I'm standing right outside your door
With nothing left to say but I still feel the same
Where did I, where did I go wrong?

Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Where did I, where did I go wrong?




Where did I, where did I go wrong?
Because I can't move on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Tree's song "Move" delve into the themes of existence, resistance, and redemption. The opening line of the song, "Welcome to the planet, welcome to existence," suggests an introduction to life itself. It's a realization that one is alive and present in this world. The second line, "Everyone's here, everyone's here," hints at our connectedness as human beings. We are all part of the same world, and we are all in this together. The following line, "Everybody's watching you now, everybody waits for you now," implies a certain degree of pressure. We are all being observed, and there are expectations set upon us.


The chorus follows, with the line "I dare you to move," repeated twice, which challenges the listener to take action. The succeeding line, "I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor," alludes to the idea of rising from a situation, getting up, and refusing to be held down. It's an encouragement to move forward and not stay in one place. The final line of the chorus, "Like today never happened, today never happened before," speaks to starting anew, to taking on this challenge and feeling empowered to create change.


The second part of the song starts with "Welcome to the fallout, welcome to resistance." It hints at the challenges we face in life, the disappointments and struggles. The lyric "The tension is here, tension is here. Between who you are and who you could be. Between how it is and how it should be," suggests the struggle we experience between our present selves and our potential. We aim to be better than we are today, but the tension between the two can be daunting.


The third verse offers a glimmer of hope. "Maybe redemption has stories to tell, maybe forgiveness is right where you fell," suggests that we are not defined by our mistakes, and there is always an opportunity for redemption. The line, "Where can you run to escape from yourself, where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here," implies that we cannot escape from ourselves, and we must confront our issues head-on. Redemption or salvation lie within ourselves, and it is up to us to seek it.


Overall, "Move" is an empowering song that encourages the listener to take action, believe in themselves, and seek redemption.

We had a huge tree in our back garden where I grew up, over the space of around 3 months it moved from one side to the other, a distance of approx the width of our house.....

My dad said it was because of the sandy sub layer under the clay and top soil that caused it to shift position when it rained but I don't know?
There certainly was a lot of sand under our garden, my dad used to dig it up, bag it and use it.
Apparently where our estate was built, was originally farmers fields with ponds dotted about, they were filled in with sand and not supposed to be built on.
When they laid the plans of the estate over the area, some houses unfortunately were built right on top of those sandy areas, they eventually subsided and had to be demolished, there were a couple right around the corner from our house but we were lucky, our house was built on solid ground.

My dad told a council building inspector about the tree, who came round and said it was impossible for the tree to move but we showed him pictures of our garden where it used to be.
He just looked perplexed and had no answers.....

I guess he thought it was a prank and we must have dug it up and moved it but this tree was 30ft tall.

Fun fact - my dad found an old 1940s vintage car buried in the garden as he was digging for sand, first the black registration number plate with silver numerals, which was attached to a rusty bumper....
As he dug it out he found it wouldn't pull out, it was attached to a chassis and other body panels, as he dug further he came to the engine block and spoke wheels etc it was lay at around a 45 degree angle, with the front end pointing up, he never found out what kind of car, it was too deteriorated to tell.

We figured it must have been dumped in the pond before they were filled in with sand?



@JZ-gr1tz

I seen it in the Predators movie by Arnold

Where they are Alien predators that we don't see thru naked eyes unless special lenses applies

In the movie I'm refering. They don't get along
With the army and only with a warrior Latin woman

Recall the movie now.

Honestly I wish they wered here by the trillions. I know I'll be happy.

@b.o.b Man, we all think we know shit, but realistically we don’t know shit about shit on this mysterious planet. I personally was looking up “invisible tree people” because I’ve been seeing tons of weird videos on that wild topic, then I stumble across trees moving by themselves here lol! People ain’t gonna talk about this stuff because no one wants to be “crazy”. Side note: I saw you here and immediately thought “So they calling you Bob? Stop playin, you know that I’m known for the BOB” 💅🏻😂 Peace

I'm native american, spent probably close to 80% of my life in the forest, I'm 45 now. I guide I hunt I take spiritual journeys alone for weeks at a time. Never have I seen or heard something like this, even when I'm deep in ceremony acknowledging the trees and plants, we've had many conversations together. Think there's some computer work being done here.

@funkmonster

I agrée, it’s easy to do this nowadays with computer animation software and AI

@markanderson3870

Oh really? I saw a couple of trees playing soccer the other day.

@jBigjohndoe1971
