The singer Alex G performs the song “Make Your Move”. The song us 3 minuets 50 seconds long with 2 verses, a chorus repeated 3 times and a bridge. The song is an upbeat with a quite fast paced and a slow bridge. The song follows a verse, chorus, and verse chorus narrative with a bridge after the second chorus. This is done to help make is follow the normal narrative structure to make the song stick to the norm to help audiences understand the song as if it was not a normal structure some audiences will not understand it and will not listen thinking it is cluttered and badly written. The bridge is there is to add a range in the song, as with out it, the song would keep repeating the structure boring the audience so the bridge put a range in the song.
The song has a deep meaning about freedom
and escaping the life your trapped. This song is a self-love song showing
people that they are trapped in their lives doing the same thing over
and over again and being stuck in a monotonous life.
Alex is compiling about the repetitiveness of life doing
the same things over and over again stating "We’ve been wired for it, but we’re tired of it",
she is saying that every one does the same things, which is pre
set and have to carrying it out, but she wants to brake free of this cause she
tired of being trapped in this endless cycle.
In the song there is many
times of imagery and subtext used to show the meaning of
the song. In the first verse she says "365 little lies we have written in
our mind". She is stating that we have been told what to do with our lives
and they are all lies, it was pre set as it has been “Written in our
mind". She then states, "You live in boxes 9 to 5 always hoping
for a raise". Alex is stating about office work how it is a 9-5
and you are trapped in a cubical always working, workers
are hoping for a raise for hard work always trying to get
it but never getting their. Finally she also states, "It’s now
or it’s never. We don’t have forever" She is stating that we have to make
changes in our lives instead of staying in the same trapped place all
the time never having any changes in our lives, but there is only a
short amount of time to escape and you have to make
the decision now.
Overall the song follows the
normal narrative structure with a verse courses and a bridge.
The son focus on the boring receptiveness of life and how we
should break free sand do what we want to rather that
conform to what society like get a 9-5 job.
