The Motion Makes Me Last Lyrics
How does the motion make me last
I shuffle forward and then back
I can be questioning my thoughts
But not looking for what I lack
What is it that has my mind so hypnotized
When shapes are for looking at
And their colors create my mood
I'm a vessel between two places I've never been
To seek a further or former design
Creation as a pathogen
What's more than subtle in these lines
I know you're looking forward to them
What is it that has my mind so hypnotized
Evolving on a thought that you've half realized
Life is real only when I am (well, I am) - I am surprised
That shapes are for looking at
And their colors create my mood
I'm a vessel between two places I've never been
I shuffle forward and then back
I can be questioning my thoughts
But not looking for what I lack
When shapes are for looking at
And their colors create my mood
I'm a vessel between two places I've never been
Creation as a pathogen
What's more than subtle in these lines
I know you're looking forward to them
Evolving on a thought that you've half realized
Life is real only when I am (well, I am) - I am surprised
That shapes are for looking at
And their colors create my mood
I'm a vessel between two places I've never been

One of Eluvium's best. At first, I was very skeptical of his approach, putting lyrics in songs that shouldnt have any, but I gotta admin, this is definitely one of his best songs. Amazing. I find the music so sad.
"And their colors create my mood"
I think it's "mind' not "mood"
no I think it's mood
no I think it's mood
While I was unsure how Eluvium with vocals would work out...this song is simply beautiful. I love it. Really makes the album for me.
"Life is real only when I am" Here, he's saying 'Life is real only then, when "I am"'
And I'm not exactly sure what 'I'm a vessel between two places I've never been' means, but I absolutely love that line!
I think it means he just goes back and forth between places without even really being there

I think the video kind of supports my original interpretation, because the camera's just going through a grey city.

i like to think that he means he is between two different courses of action as a result of a pending decision of his. which way he ultimately chooses is not yet known.

might be just about being without really being, being influenced without taking it in
i love when abstract lyrics like this describe a feeling so much better than trying to describe it directly. It is a very concrete yet... floaty feeling. "i'm a vessel between two places I've never been" - just being in awe of life, so much so you feel you have no control over it, and you really dont. it feels beautiful
