What Kind of Move
Moving On: Exploring Life's Unpredictable Rhythms
Lyrics
What kind of move is the best thing
Reflecting on the best way to depart or move away
For leaving you in the I don't know
Uncertainty about leaving, feeling unsure or perplexed
You can leave the best of a cool nest
Leaving behind a comfortable or enjoyable place, metaphorically referred to as a nest
But there's no master plan when you go
There's no predetermined or clear plan when leaving
You hear the swearing and the laughter
Noticing both negative and positive emotions around (swearing and laughter)
Smoke coming in from the neighbors next door
Observing disturbances or influences from nearby neighbors
My Christina had the toughest set of lungs
Describing someone named Christina having a strong singing voice
She could out sing anyone
Her ability to outperform others in singing
She'd have them up on the small floor dancing
She would energize people to dance on a small dance floor
Anyone knew anyone
People were familiar with each other in some way
I hate to be leaving in the middle of this
Uncomfortable leaving amidst an ongoing situation
What can I say but
Expressing a lack of words or explanation for the departure
This city is chorded there's rhythm in the traffic
Noting the musicality or rhythm in the bustling city life
Spokes in the wheels wherever you go
Everywhere you go, there are obstacles or hindrances
I'm just one exception to be sitting here
Feeling like an anomaly while trying to establish a sense of belonging
Trying to carve out some kind of a home
Attempting to create a home or a sense of belonging despite difficulties
Everyone around here lets their cats loose
People in the neighborhood allow their cats to roam freely to control pests
To control the mice
A strategy of using cats to manage the mouse population
It's the kind of neighborhood with a few broken down houses
Describing the neighborhood with a few rundown houses but still having positive aspects
But it's kinda nice
Finding some charm or goodness in the neighborhood despite its flaws
Going through photos of places you've been
Looking at memories captured in photographs from different places visited
The places you part
Remembering the places where separation or departure occurred
It's the packing and the moving that really holds on
The process of packing and moving intensifies the feelings of loneliness
To the rungs of a lonely heart
Emotional attachment to a solitary heart due to the act of moving
Just when you think it's over
Just as one believes a phase has concluded, a new situation arises
Something new begins
Indicating that beginnings emerge unexpectedly
Somewhere in the grander scheme of scheming
Suggesting life's intricate plans or plots
Just when you think you're stepping out
When one thinks of moving forward, they find themselves in a new situation
That's when you're stepping in
Transitioning between different states or situations
It leaves you open windowed and ever dreaming
Leaving oneself vulnerable and in a state of perpetual dreaming or yearning
