Down the Line
Moving On: Embracing Change and Letting Go
Lyrics
I'm moving on, I'm heading down the line
Expressing a decision to move forward and progress in life.
I'm gonna leave everything in your little world behind
Deciding to leave behind all aspects associated with someone else's world or life.
I'm moving on, I'm heading down the line
Reiterating the determination to move on and continue progressing.
Somebody broke your heart, I heard you say
Acknowledging that someone experienced heartbreak.
Only thing to do is walk away
Suggesting that the best course of action after heartbreak is to depart from the situation.
Somebody let you down, this I know
Recognizing that someone disappointed or betrayed another person.
Only thing to do is let 'em go
Advising to release the person who caused disappointment or betrayal.
Because every thought you ever had, you're only gonna have again
Implying that recurring thoughts are inevitable.
And again and again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of thoughts that persistently return.
Four corners of this room, there's only heat
Describing an environment saturated with tension or intensity.
I'm gonna drive past the people and the places people meet
Choosing to bypass social interactions and places of gathering.
I'm gonna live in a little motel by the sea
Planning to live in a secluded place, suggesting a desire for solitude.
You won't ever have to worry about me
Assuring someone not to worry about the speaker's well-being in their new isolated location.
Because every thought I've ever had I'm only gonna have again
Reiterating the inevitability of recurring thoughts in the speaker's mind.
Do something with it
Encouraging action or change in response to persistent thoughts.
One, two, welcome to the party
Welcoming others to an event or situation.
Three, four, let's get it started
Urging everyone to begin or initiate something.
There's a wolf in the hen house. But it was always there
Metaphorically referring to a dangerous or deceptive presence within a seemingly safe environment.
Three, four, heard it all before
Expressing familiarity with a situation or story.
Never really worried until it's at your front door
Realizing concern only when a problem becomes personally relevant or immediate.
Yes, we're down now. But we're not out
Acknowledging a difficult situation but asserting resilience.
Because every thought I ever had I'm only gonna have again
Reiterating the ongoing recurrence of the speaker's thoughts.
Time to do something with it
Declaring the necessity to take action in response to persistent thoughts.
