Motion

Luke Hemmings' song 'Motion' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles that many people face. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and disconnection, starting with the line 'With every sundown I feel alone.' This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where Hemmings explores feelings of alienation and the search for meaning. The imagery of 'these hands are strangers, they ain't my own' suggests a profound sense of disassociation, as if the singer is not in control of his own actions or identity.

The chorus, 'All this running in motion, time slips by until you're lost in your mind,' captures the essence of feeling stuck in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and actions. This line speaks to the universal experience of time passing without any significant change or progress, leading to a sense of being lost within one's own mind. The repeated question, 'Who you gonna find?' implies a search for self or purpose, a quest that remains unfulfilled throughout the song.

The song also touches on the idea of creating one's own reality, as seen in the line 'Can't you call in the sculptors to build a sky, you know I wanna live inside.' This metaphor suggests a desire to escape the current state of mind and create a new, more fulfilling reality. However, the recurring question 'Will it be enough?' leaves the listener pondering whether these efforts will ever truly satisfy the deeper emotional needs. Hemmings' introspective lyrics and haunting melodies make 'Motion' a poignant exploration of inner conflict and the human condition.
