The band has appeared with several local and national acts including Magic Man, Civil Twilight, Colony House, and many more. The group’s combination of bright melodies with unique chord structures and strong pop drum beats bear resemblance to artists such as Young the Giant, Leagues, and the War on Drugs.
Move On
Vacation Manor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding on to every lie
If it isn't now then it's never
Every word has gotta start a fight
And every breath is like a test
To prove yourself
Just take a guess and try your best
Forget the rest
Move on, move on
Rewrite the rules, but
You've only got so long
Let go and just move on
What are you gonna remember
What you gonna hang on to
No use in feeling the pressure
It's all gonna be gone soon
And every breath is like a test
To prove yourself
Just take a guess and try your best
Forget the rest
And you could
Move on, move on
Rewrite the rules, but
You've only got so long
Let go and just move on
Well move on, move on
You know the rules here
It's all a part of a song
Let go and just move on
(I can say what I want)
(Say what you need)
(But you try anyway)
(I can say what I want)
(Say what you need)
(But you try...)
I can say what I want
Say what you need
But you try anyway
I can say what I want
Say what you need
But you try, you try, you try
But you can't
Move on, move on
Rewrite the rules, but
You've only got so long
Let go and just move on
So move on, move on
You know the rules here
It's all a part of a song
Let go and just move on
Just stop trying to blame your way
The fear is the price you'll pay
Keep trying to pick apart the moment
There's no telling the plans you'll break
You still got mistakes to make
He's gonna do more than what you hope for
(Move on, move on)
(Move on, move on)
(Move on, move on)
The song "Move On" by Vacation Manor is a motivational track about letting go of negativity and moving forward with life. The opening lyrics suggest that the person is putting all of their energy into holding onto lies and creating drama in their life. The line, "Every word has gotta start a fight" implies that this person is constantly creating conflict through their actions and words. The repeated phrase, "Every breath is like a test to prove yourself" suggests that this person feels like they are constantly being judged and need to prove themselves.
However, the chorus urges them to let go and move on, as "You've only got so long" and life is precious. The line "Rewrite the rules" is a symbol of reinventing oneself and starting anew. The juxtaposition of "Move on" and "Let go and just move on" in the chorus reinforces the idea of leaving the past behind and not dwelling on negativity. The section of the song where the lyrics repeat "I can say what I want, say what you need, but you try anyway" highlights the struggle of trying to change oneself despite feeling like it's impossible.
Overall, the song is an uplifting anthem about finding strength and pushing forward despite past struggles, and letting go of negative feelings to rediscover happiness.
