MOTIONS
Embracing Change: Motion and Liberation in Johnny Cisneros' 'MOTIONS'
Lyrics
You said you'd stay
You promised to remain with me.
But I know you're gone
I recognize that you have departed.
Don't tell me you'll wait
Don't claim you'll wait for me.
Cause i'm better off alone
I'm better off being alone.
So, don't look back and dwell on things
Avoid dwelling on the past; it's concluded.
Cause it's all over
Accept that it's all finished.
Let go of how things should have been
Release the idealized notions of how things should be.
Cause we're all in motion
We are all constantly moving forward.
We keep dragging on
We persist despite challenges.
The image of our former selves
We hold onto the image of our past selves.
But yesterday is gone
Yesterday has concluded.
Like a memory locked inside a shell
Similar to a memory trapped within a shell.
So, don't look back and dwell on things
Refrain from dwelling on past events; they are concluded.
Cause it's all over
Accept that it's all finished.
Let go of how things should have been
Let go of idealized expectations of how things should be.
Cause we're all in motion
We are all continuously progressing.
I see the sun, in your eyes
I perceive the brightness of hope or positivity in your gaze.
The sun, in your eyes
This brightness persists in your eyes.
I feel our worlds in motion
I sense our lives are in constant change.
Our world is in motion
Our world is dynamic and evolving.
So, don't look back and dwell on things
Avoid dwelling on the past; it's concluded.
(So don't look back)
(Reiteration) Avoid looking back.
Cause it's all over
(Reiteration) Acknowledge that it's all concluded.
(Cause it's all over)
(Reiteration) Let go of idealized expectations.
Let go of how things should have been
(Reiteration) We are all in a state of progression.
(Let go of things)
(Reiteration) Release your grip on how things should be.
Cause we're all motion
(Reiteration) We are all in motion.
(Cause we in motion)
(Reiteration) We exist in a constant state of motion.
