Move On (Demo) Lyrics
Everyone in black from the head to the toe
And I'm sitting in the back in the very last row
Hearing everyone ask why I go
Ladies and gentlemen we're gathered here today
To talk about the end and a friend gone away
Talking about pretending, they don't know what to say
And they're tripping over words but they're talking anyway
Mingling and singing all these really sad songs
Talking of what I did right and forgetting all my wrongs
Saying how they'll miss me so much now that I'm gone
Man this is depressing
Let's move on
Let's move on
Come back to life like the light of the dawn
It's like a tightrope just move right along
Don't look down and don't step wrong
We don't have time so just move on
Friends from my past wiping tears on their sleeve
In between people that were never close to me
And as I turn my back on everyone to leave
I know that I'll be back to see them all eventually
I've gotta go away just to try something new
Cause what I'm used to isn't all that I can do
Just a change of scenery, just another view
Take it back to the beginning
Take it back to the roots
Come back to life like the light of the dawn
It's like a tightrope just move right along
Don't look down and don't step wrong
We don't have time so just move on
Come back to life like the light of the dawn
It's like a tightrope just move right along
Don't look down and don't step wrong
We don't have time so just move on
Just move on
Just move
About
this song is abut how mike is getting sick of making the same album over and over (i.e meteora and hybrid theory) this is noticeable in lines like “cuz what im used to isnt al that i can do” and “just a change of scenery, just another view
Take it back to the beginning
Take it back to the roots”

From Mike’s note on the song with the Fort Minor Militia release:
i thought it would be a cool idea to do a song about sitting in at my own
funeral. also appropriate, because doing the fort minor album was like leaving one life
and moving on to something else…i thought it was a cool metaphor. as far as the
instrumentation goes, i don’t play koto, so i used a variety of keyboard sounds to make
the “sample.” i cut it up and put record crackles on it to make it sound dirtier. mr. hahn
blessed me with some scratches. and yes, that weird sound on the end is supposed to be
there, your computer’s not screwed up…in general, i think the song sounds unfinished,
but i didn’t know what else to do with it.
