Forward Motion Lyrics
Whoa-o i've been banging my head against the wall
Whoa-o for so long it seems i knocked it down
Yeah, it got knocked down
Whoa-o and the heating bill went through the roof
Whoa-o and the wall i knocked down was the proof
That my landlord needed to kick me out
I got evicted now i'm living on the street
My spirits lifted.. oh wait, that wasnt me
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, i knew it all along
Car crashes occur then i'll be what you were
When i see what i should when i see that its good
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
[Chorus]
Cause I struggle with foward motion
I struggle with foward motion
We all struggle with foward motion
Cause foward motion is harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
Its harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
Whoa-o ive been banging my head against the wall
Whoa-o for so long it seems i got knocked out
Yeah, i got knocked out cold
Whoa-o and the medical bills went through the roof
Whoa-o and the scar on my head is the proof
That i'll still remember this when i get old
I got evicted now i'm living on the street
My spirits lifted.. oh wait, that wasnt me
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, i knew it all along
When I grasp this concept
Then i'll sleep where you slept
When i know i need help
When i allow myself
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
[Chorus]
Whoa-o for so long it seems i knocked it down
Yeah, it got knocked down
Whoa-o and the heating bill went through the roof
Whoa-o and the wall i knocked down was the proof
That my landlord needed to kick me out
My spirits lifted.. oh wait, that wasnt me
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, i knew it all along
When i see what i should when i see that its good
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
Cause I struggle with foward motion
I struggle with foward motion
We all struggle with foward motion
Cause foward motion is harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
Its harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
Whoa-o for so long it seems i got knocked out
Yeah, i got knocked out cold
Whoa-o and the medical bills went through the roof
Whoa-o and the scar on my head is the proof
That i'll still remember this when i get old
My spirits lifted.. oh wait, that wasnt me
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, i knew it all along
Then i'll sleep where you slept
When i know i need help
When i allow myself
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth

this is one of my favorite songs on the CD, i think the song is great. i like the song because i can relate to the song, because i struggle with forword motion in my Christian life everybody does, its not easy to stay on track for God, but that doesnt mean i give up, i just pick myself back up again and focus my life back on God.
this is such an awesome song...can these guys get any better? i think not.
fun song...yeah it is easy to relate too. i'm about to graduate from high school and college is definitely the "forward motion" i'm struggling with as far as that. and yes, it applies spiritually as well in furthering a relationship with God. cuz you can't just sit there and expect to get closer to God, you've gotta seek Him in everything
so true. I like how relient K can just...make sense like that. "experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth."
so very true.
this song is so true. it's partly saying that one of the hardest parts to being a christian is determining what the "next step" to take is in your relationship with God.
this song is definately one of relient k's best. i think its about every christians life. its all about the ups and downs and things that get in our way of living to glorify god. it's awesome.
"to experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth..." BRILLIANT. how do they make something so random but so true just make SENSE? uuuugh i dont know... all the more reason to luv RK... ~rOmAnS 3:23~
This song is so awesome. I guess it means that it is hard to accomplish things important, hence the "forward motion" theme..
i love this song. "to experience the bitter sweet, to taste defeat then brush my teeth" it just goes to show that even when you are going through hard times, some good WILL come out of it.. because atleast making it through hard times makes you stronger and smarter. and also it's good to experience bad things, because it makes you appreciate good things all the more.
"experience the bittersweet taste defeat the brush my teeth", my fave part and I reckon that its talking about times when u have 'failed' or felt defeated but you gotta get on with it, pick yourself up and get that awful aftertaste of defeat out of your mouth "brush your teeth"
