In motion #1 Lyrics

Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death...

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear
Touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me
Passing by...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about being in that state of love where its dangerous. You love someone so much you don't realize that your every move is controlled by them. This is Anneke's recollection of this happening to her. the "kill me with your thoughts" "make me cry in vain" "touch my face with your sigh" is being hopelessly under their allure and not realizing that it doesn't matter much to them whether you're coming or going.

This song is unique as the narrator is atypical and it's a genuine romantic song with morbid undertones. The lyrics play with double meanings and metaphores. The narrator is asking her lover (or sugesting he will do so) to kill her and leave her in the water "against the stream" so her body will be "In Motion" and "a hundred world will see" her passing by. It's likely a methapor ("use your mind") of how some love relationship can be hurtful, painful or even dangerous.
