Question I'm thinking about using this song in my next Gatch AMV

But I'd like some other input first. I'm not quite sure if I should, because I don't know 100 percent what the song is about, because in the first verse, it sounds like it's about keeping a dream alive or doing the right thing, but then in the second verse it sounds like it's about a failed romance, and I'm sorta confused by the lyrical content basically.


There's A Monkey On My Back
Been There Much Too Long
Every Time I Kick It Off
Another One Comes Along

I Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone
It's So Hard To Be Yourself
When You Feel Like Something's Wrong

(chorus)
There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

She Said, "I've Had Enough Of Your Lies
Can't Wait For Anyone
The Beginning Of The End
Don't You Know That's All Wrong
When You Said Nothing Changes
You Meant To Say It Won't Take Long"

I Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone
It's So Hard To Be Yourself
When You Feel Like Something's Wrong
Move On

There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
I Said Move, You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
Move It

Move On

There's A Question In My Head
Been There All Night Long
Well I Toss And Turn Inside My Head
But I Won't Let It Tear Me Down

Yeah, Used To Be In Another World
I Used To Be Alone, Yeah

There Are No Words That Could Explain
The Strongest Love In Vain
Oh You Gotta Move On
There Are No Words That Could Explain
You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain
There Are No Words That Could Explain
Oh You Gotta Move On
The Strongest Love In Vain

Had Enough, Oh, Gotta Move On, Yeah
There Are No Words That Could Explain
The Strongest Love In Vain

(Repeat And Fade With Ad Lib)


Input on this is welcomed with open arms.

Can't tell, either. 'Monkey on the back' can refer to drug or alcohol addiction. But the other verses may not support that, unless the collapsed relationship is a result of an addiction (or trying to beat it).

Does the tone of the song give a clue? Does it sound more appropriate for soul-searching, or is hard-rocking?

It's not a ballad or anything. It's a very upbeat song.

Upbeat tempo.

Hm. I'd hoped the tempo might be a clue on what this song is about.

Hard to tell. Parts of it seem to be about getting over bad events, other parts seem to be that the 'narrator' can't win for losing.

And your choice of visuals will also influence the interpretation of the lyrics.
