Moving On
Xande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
fly away on the rocky floor
i watch you move, like you do.
in my head - only silly thoughts
and you climb inside, and you get caught.
will the rain pour? will the rain pour and wash it all away?
let me make up my own mind, if you don't mind.
it's a silly game, when it hasn't any rules
and when all things are lost, i play the fool.
will the rain pour?
will the rain pour and wash it all away?
The lyrics of Xande's "Moving On" explore themes of watching someone leave, grappling with conflicting emotions, and ultimately finding resolution. The opening lines "fly away on the rocky floor / i watch you move, like you do" depict an image of someone leaving, while the singer watches. The use of the word "rocky" hints at a sense of instability or unease in the situation. The second line, "i watch you move, like you do" suggests a certain admiration for the person leaving, but also a sense of powerlessness in the singer's own situation.
The next two lines, "in my head - only silly thoughts / and you climb inside, and you get caught" suggest the singer's struggle with their own thoughts and emotions, and the idea that this person leaving has somehow gotten into their head. The line "it's a silly game, when it hasn't any rules" furthers this idea, implying a sense of chaos and confusion in the singer's mind.
The chorus poses a question: "will the rain pour? will the rain pour and wash it all away?" This can be interpreted in a few ways, but most likely refers to the idea of cleansing or renewal. The rain may represent a chance for the singer to start fresh, to wash away their conflicting emotions and thoughts. Overall, "Moving On" is a contemplative and introspective song, exploring complex emotions and ideas.
