| OneRepublic – All The Right Moves Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i was watching the music video, and i noticed a couple things that helped me find a deeper meaning of the song. In the beginning of the music video, everyone stares at OneRepublic as they come in because they look different, and they are waiting for them to mess up. It’s a tough crowd to be in and if you mess up, your out. I think that everyone in the music video is wearing masks because they want to seem perfect among all the other “perfect” people in their social class and group. But the truth is, if they remove their masks, their real identity would come out, and everyone would see that they are really not that special and that they have as many problems, insecurities, doubts, and mistakes as everyone else. Their masks are the right faces they need to be in the “right crowd”. But the thing is…..its all fake, and ironically, OneRepublic is calling this out in the song. ïŠ |

music is interpreted into different ways. some people may think that its about a heart ache, some people might think its about a love lost, and others may think about their relationship with God...but thats OKAY! whats a song if it doesnt speak to you anyway? its just noise, thats what it is. an artist or band doesn't have to be a christian band to have a religous aspect. and you know what? some christian bands are just "christian". just because you say your a christian doesn't mean you are one...i think that the whole religious thing is over rated and missunderstood. you dont have to be a perfect catholic to be a disciple of jesus. a lot of times, religion just gets in the way. like, if your in church and your more focused on how into the sermon you look, how loud you say amen, if your hands are raised, or how much money your putting into the offering, rather than what the pastor/pope/whatever is actually saying and what God is speaking in you...your wasting your time and you should leave and go home imediately. oh and yes...religion can sometimes make people blind to the truth of the real reason to go to church and say you are a christian, but again, havent you ever heard of freedom in press and speech? as for Jesus and his disciples copying some other eqyptian prince story, have you actually seen this mural/painting/whatever it is? im not trying to argue, im just wondering (and probably will never get an answer...) where is the proof that Jesus is a "copied story"? -truedestiny2012 |

after reading all of the meanings people thought, i listened to the song again and realized its meaning in my life. **This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years** these 4 lines are like, im not where i want to be in my relationship with God, and i need to stop falling and pick myself up again. **Steady hands, just take the wheel And every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead** this is my prayer to God to ask him to take over my life again, and im looking back at what bothers me about my life, but i know that its time to move on **Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're 'here' not 'there' And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see?** this is me reflecting on the past again and knowing that all of the stuff i did in my life, going to church, praying, reading my bible...it was all useless unless i was striving for an actual relationship with God, which i wasn't. and i want to have people look at me as a normal high school student, but if i want to be a disicple of Jesus...thats not whats going to happen, and im scared, but i know its the right thing to do. **They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could Steady feet, don't fail me now Gonna run till you can't walk** im still not totally letting go, a part of me wants to stay safe and comfortable, but i know i cant, and i break free and run screaming like a little girl toward God. ive stumbled and fell before, and i dont want that to happen again...for the millionth time, but im trusting in God and taking that risk. i know that people think that some interpretations are better than others, but that doesn't matter to me where mine "fits in". the whole point of writing a song is about expressing yourself and being true to you. the most important part of a "theme" of a song is that it relates to many different people, and that is what i think makes a song really good, and thats why i love this song ten thousand times more after reading all the comments. |
