You Don't Move Me
Unveiling the Deeper Layers: Keith Richards' 'You Don't Move Me' Reflections
Lyrics
You made the wrong motion
You made a mistake or took an incorrect action
Drank the wrong potion
You consumed something that has negative consequences
You lost the feeling
You lost the emotional connection or passion
Not so appealing
Your current state is not attractive or desirable
Why do you think you got no friends
Asking why you lack friends, implying disruptive behavior
You drove them all around the bend
You alienated your friends or caused them stress
Oh Yeah
An expression of realization or emphasis
You don't move me anymore
You no longer have an impact or influence on the speaker
Now you wanna throw the dice
You want to take a risk, but you've already failed twice
You already crapped out twice
Using dice metaphorically, indicating repeated failure
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah
Reiteration that you no longer have an effect on the speaker
You don't move me anymore
Confirmation of the diminished impact on the speaker
One face so seamy
One side of your personality is unpleasant or disreputable
The other don't see me
One aspect of your personality is oblivious to the speaker
It's better that you kill the light
Suggesting turning off the metaphorical light to avoid fear
You're giving us all a fright
Your actions are causing fear or concern in others
Oh Yeah
Reiteration that you have lost influence or impact
You don't move me anymore
Confirming the continued lack of influence
How you gonna keep your wealth
Questioning how you will maintain your wealth or success
Can't even defend yourself
You can't even protect yourself from losing
Ah yeah, Ah no
Expressing both agreement and disagreement with the situation
You don't move me anymore
Reiteration that you have lost impact or significance
What makes you so greedy
Questioning the reasons behind your greed and disreputable behavior
Makes you so seedy
Your actions are morally questionable or unpleasant
No matter how you flip that dime
No matter how you decide, time is on the speaker's side
On our side is time
Time is a positive force for the speaker
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah
Emphatic reiteration that time is on the speaker's side
It's no longer funny
The situation is no longer amusing or entertaining
It's bigger than money
The issue is more significant than just monetary concerns
You don't move me anymore
Confirmation that you no longer affect the speaker
