Moving On
Tim Be Told Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead of leading me to think that I was in a dream
And waking up and finding out that I was asleep
'Cause I thought this was love; no, no, no
A misinterpretation misdirected false elation
I was wrong
'Cause every day's just another way that I'm trying I'm crying to get over you
I'm sick and tired of this ungrantable wish
For just a taste of your invisible kiss
But it's the last night
Gonna be the last fight
Gonna be the uh oh, yeah
I'm moving on
You left me in the dark you said you'd never leave me behind
'Cause now I'm standing on my own and walking through the nights alone
But I just wanna let you go and stop before I lose control
I thought this was love
A cheesy imitation, just a stupid speculation
I was wrong
I'm giving up, I'm giving in
No time no energy for this
You're taking up all of my time
I need some help from up above
I need some help from You, Lord
Get me out of this thing called love
The song "Moving On" by Tim Be Told tells the story of someone who thought they were in love but later realized that it was all a misinterpretation. The lyrics express the pain and frustration of trying to move on from a failed relationship. The song starts with the singer admitting that they had been misled by their partner and were living in a dream-like state. The realization that it wasn't love was difficult to accept, but necessary. The singer then goes on to describe their struggle with moving on. They acknowledge that it's not easy to forget about someone they once loved but they're determined to let go and stop losing control. The chorus emphasizes the pain and effort involved in trying to get over someone and the plea to a higher power for strength and guidance.
The verse that talks about the ungrantable wish for a taste of the invisible kiss is a metaphor for the singer's desire for what they can't have. It's a representation of how the singer's emotional attachment to their partner is hindering their ability to move on. The lyrics "you left me in the dark, you said you'd never leave me behind", demonstrate the betrayal and hurt that the singer experienced. It's a reminder of the difference between what was promised and what actually happened.
Overall, "Moving On" is a heartbreaking but relatable song that speaks to those who have gone through the process of moving on from a relationship that didn't work out.
