Any Movement Lyrics

Cover art for Any Movement lyrics by Dog Is Dead

I think that this is about a sort of relationship. They both, had connections at one point. Seemingly only physical, but I think that the guy wanted more than that, when the girl didn't.

Any movement, any movement Is, is essential

I think that he means, a relationship needs to move on, it needs to develop.

Any heartache, any hard-earned pain Is a blessing Satisfaction is an illusion Any heartache

Here he's talking about the satisfaction he may have found from the relationship, and how it kept him from seeing the truth. He may have thought they had a connection, but then again, could he be sure?

When you know that the game is up When you know that the game is over What's left?

He knows that what they had is over now, and he wants to know what's left of what they may have had.

When I'm coming 'round to pick you up And you told me that you've had enough

so basically, he wants to take her out again, and be with her, but she's just done with him.

And we are lonely riders with our hearts on fire Lazy love just wasn't quite enough for me

they got together because they were both lonely, and looking for someone to get together with, or whatever, but in the end, what she was a lot less committed to him than he was to her.

"any movement is essential", could also refer to him trying to move on from her.
