All in the Groove
In the Groove: Embrace Life's Rhythm with Blues Traveler
Lyrics
Sometimes when you worry
Sometimes, worrying can cloud your perception.
The tendency to hurry
Rushing in worry may lead to unclear thinking.
Can make your vision blurry
Quick actions in worry might blur your vision.
And blind you
These actions may obscure your true self.
You might shake and you might stammer
Physical reactions like shaking or stammering may occur.
Or dance like MC Hammer
A humorous reference to dancing like MC Hammer.
But could that pomp and glamour
The showiness might serve as a reminder.
Remind you
To reflect on your identity and direction.
Of who you are and where you're going
Questioning your purpose and impact on others.
And whose mind that you're blowing
A metaphorical exploration of influence on others' thoughts.
And if your car needs towing
A playful mention of car trouble as a metaphor.
Don't move
Advocating for calmness in challenging situations.
Then calmly call the AAA you've got nothing to prove
Suggesting to call for help without proving oneself.
As in all things, it's all in the groove
Emphasizing that everything is influenced by a rhythm or pattern.
All in the groove
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the groove.
All in the groove
-All in the groove
-All in the groove
-Well if it's your destiny don't fight it
Encouraging acceptance of destiny without resistance.
War between the states unite it
Suggesting unity even in the face of conflict.
It might be difficult but might it
Considering the worthiness of difficult endeavors.
Be worthwhile?
Questioning the value of overcoming challenges.
I ain't no Solomon from Babel
Identifying oneself with a lack of profound wisdom.
But my cards are on the table
Expressing openness and honesty about intentions.
And I swear that if I'm able
Committing to action if capable.
I'll run that mile
A metaphorical commitment to pushing one's limits.
So if I'm rambling ignore me
Requesting understanding if being verbose.
If on the money then adore me
Desiring appreciation when accurate.
You know the pearls are cast before me
Referencing admiration that comes without effort.
Oh what to do?
An acknowledgment of the unpredictable nature of life.
Wish I could put it in a picture and hang it in the Louvre
Expressing a desire to capture life's essence artistically.
But like I said before it's all in the groove
Reiterating that life's essence is found in rhythm.
You could say it isn't worth it
Discussing the subjective worth of endeavors.
Or maybe you could birth it
-But if there's too much girth it
-Won't move
-All in the groove
Reiteration of the importance of the groove.
All in the groove
-All in the groove
-All in the groove
-The jam it swings and sways
Describing the groove as a positive life force.
As the groove funkily plays
-And they say crime never pays
-But this ain't no crime
-It's just a life blood flowing water
-That any son or daughter
-Would send away for order
-A celebration of time
-So jam on, jam out, jam it in
Encouraging active participation in life's rhythm.
Till it feels like it's a sin
Expressing the intensity of immersion in life's flow.
And that's only when you begin
-To improve
The improvement comes with active engagement.
Don't mind if it's the rhythm that's just only when you've
Emphasizing that the essence is fully experienced in rhythm.
Got to let it all be all in the groove
All in the groove
Reiteration of the significance of the groove.
All in the groove
-All in the groove
-All in the groove
-All in the groove
Further emphasis on the importance of the groove.
All in the groove
-They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway...in the groove, in the groove
A playful reference to the bright lights of Broadway.
"Hey, you know..."
Dialogue snippets reinforcing the theme of groove and shared experiences.
"You can't do that!"
-"I remember one time I was, ah.."
-"...we was jammin' on stage"
-"Yeah, I know that..."
-"You know what I'm talkin' about..."
-"You know the stories?"
-"Aw, yeah..."
-"Yeah, that's right..."
