Motown Never Sounded So Good Lyrics
So you say,
All you white flags are up,
And that you've had enough.
And you're tired of collecting dust,
You say everything always looks the same.
And you need,
A brand new face,
To match a brand new place.
You say all your distress calls have gone out.
And your ship is going down.
Well, I'll say it to myself all the time.
Stop living half a life and stop,
Felling like I'm half alive.
I can't get enough, I'm not satisfied.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
In single file lines,
Is this real life?
I keep telling myself sometimes,
What matters is on the inside.
Do you remember when we had all the answers?
And can you really remember,
When we wished for anything better.
Does it feel like it's been forever,
Does it feel like a broken record?
Head full of yesterdays,
You keep wishing your life away,
You can't keep looking over your own shoulder.
Things will never look up unless you start to look forward.
Well, I'll say it to myself all the time.
Stop living half a life and stop,
Felling like I'm half alive.
I can't get enough, I'm not satisfied.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
In single file lines,
Is this real life?
I keep telling myself sometimes,
What matters is on... the inside.
I can't get enough, I'm just getting by,
I can't stand this design for out bitter lives.
I keep feeling lost, I'm not satisfied,
With traffic and turnpikes,
And these tired eyes.
I can't get enough, I'm not satisfied.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
In single file lines,
Is this real life?
I keep telling myself sometimes,
What matters is on... the inside.
All you white flags are up,
And that you've had enough.
You say everything always looks the same.
A brand new face,
To match a brand new place.
And your ship is going down.
Stop living half a life and stop,
Felling like I'm half alive.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
Is this real life?
What matters is on the inside.
And can you really remember,
When we wished for anything better.
Does it feel like it's been forever,
Does it feel like a broken record?
You keep wishing your life away,
You can't keep looking over your own shoulder.
Things will never look up unless you start to look forward.
Stop living half a life and stop,
Felling like I'm half alive.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
Is this real life?
What matters is on... the inside.
I can't stand this design for out bitter lives.
With traffic and turnpikes,
And these tired eyes.
I've wasted my time with this daily grind.
Is this real life?
What matters is on... the inside.

He feels like his life is at a stand still and doing whatever he is doing right now is unfulfilling. He keeps looking into the past when things were better and he was happier though his life can't go on untill he starts looking to the future.
I always really liked this song and now I am relating to it so much.
This song is soo much fun. Its just uppity and makes any day feel like summer.
this song is great .. basically it's just saying that you should make life count instead of watching it go by
this song actually makes me sad
This is song is great, It has some very cool/weird sound FX and has a piano if im not mistaken, very happy, but a very meaningful song!

THese lines confused me:
And you need, A brand new face, To match a brand new place.
because I thought they meant that this person needed to get some plastic surgery because she'd moved to a new town, but then I realised it meant that she needed a new boyfriend for a new place in her life. Assuming it is a she, that is.
And you need, A brand new face, To match a brand new place.
I had a different interepretation. I thought it meant that this person had changed their personality, values and goals. I took it as the person becoming a whole new person, because they were in a whole new place.
I love this song, its my favorite LTJ song and its way meaningful, not to sound like a dumb blonde.
