Motion Isn't Meaning Lyrics
What a beautiful way to fake it
This sort of graceful defeat
We found a pattern out on the pavement
Sound the siren out through the streets
Advance in perfect nonchalance
Do it together with a rifle report
Don’t marvel at our confidence
It’s troubled, bottled, and above-all deformed
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It’s just another drug
But it's all we've got...
What a way to keep it together
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
Drown the demon in the deep black sea
Shield your eyes
It keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathing
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It’s just another drug
But it's all we've got...
we've got nowhere to go
I'll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns for the moment
I’ll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns!
This sort of graceful defeat
We found a pattern out on the pavement
Sound the siren out through the streets
Advance in perfect nonchalance
Do it together with a rifle report
Don’t marvel at our confidence
It’s troubled, bottled, and above-all deformed
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It’s just another drug
But it's all we've got...
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
Drown the demon in the deep black sea
It keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathing
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It’s just another drug
But it's all we've got...
we've got nowhere to go
We have our guns for the moment
I’ll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns!

The song is actually called "Motion Isn't Meaning" not "Motion Without Meaning"
I just followed the convention that was on the single. It was a typo and was supposed to be "Isn't" but it was printed as "Without".

wait, where did you get this CD? I want one!
ATL Single? buy it online. And this song is about us taking military action, because it's all we have.
This song is also on Hopelessly Devoted to You Vol.5, and is titled "Motion Without Meaning". So if it is indeed an error, then they've made the same one several times :)

Wonderful song. Obviously about fighting, but I can't decide if he's encouraging the fight or if he's against it. Still awesome lyrics though.
THOSE WHO ARE EMPHATICALLY ANTI-WAR ARE PROBABLY HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE DEEPER PROBLEMS IN THEIR OWN PERSONAL LIVES UNRESOLVED BY THEIR ENTHUSIASTIC-PRETENDING AS THOUGH THEY HAVE ANSWER-ALL VIEWS. THEIR IDEOLOGICAL ENEMIES MAKE A MISTAKE, AND THEY USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO PRETEND AS THOUGH THEY HAVE A FULFILLING, SELF_CONSISTENT WORLDVIEW. THEY DO NOT.
