Moving On
Yung Sum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, have tried to let this pain go by
But every day I swear it hurts
The weight of this world on my shoulders
Lie, beneath the sun and open those eyes
I'm wide awake, I need some space
I'm getting lost in worldly ways

Picture getting caught up in the waves
Hoping that we'll find another way
To make it out, to make it out
I wouldn't wanna make the big mistake
Of moving on

Moving on, moving on
Moving on, moving on
Moving on, oh oh oh
Moving on, moving on

I, I wonder why the time keeps passing by
My will to live and learn, yeah
Are turning brown like pictures in the furnace
I try, so hard to let these thoughts go by
But every day gets heavier
So tell me, is it worth it

Picture getting caught up in the waves
Hoping that we'll find a better way
To make it out, to make it out
I wouldn't wanna make the big mistake
Of moving on

Moving on, moving on
Moving on, moving on
Moving on, oh oh oh
Moving on, moving on

Picture getting caught up in the waves
Hoping that we'll find a better way
To make it out, to make it out
I wouldn't wanna make the big mistake
Of moving on





Moving on, moving on

Overall Meaning

Yung Sum's song "Moving On" is a reflective piece about the struggles of letting go of pain, doubts, and fears. The opening lyrics, "I have tried to let this pain go by, but every day I swear it hurts," set the tone for the entire song. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of moving on, and the weight of the world that continuously burdens them. Despite their efforts to open their eyes and stay present, they are overcome with the sheer weight of life. The chorus can be interpreted as a warning against jumping headfirst into the unknown, lest we make "the big mistake" of moving on before we fully process and heal from our experiences.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's internal struggles, as they describe their fading will to live and learn. The line "turning brown like pictures in the furnace" is a metaphor for how experiences can be burned into our minds, and sometimes they become too painful to bear. The chorus remains a cautionary tale, urging listeners to avoid getting swept up in the waves of change without taking the time to reflect on their past and present.


Overall, "Moving On" is a poignant reminder to take our time and reflect before making major changes in our lives. It touches on themes of pain, grief, and healing, and reminds us that sometimes we need to sit with our pain before we can truly move forward.
