Song Meaning of “Movin’ About My Ways” by Josh WaWa White
Movin’ ’round my ways is a reflective song about the impact of a turbulent break-up and the loneliness that follows. Josh WaWa White sings about taking time for some soul-searching in order to try to rediscover his place on the wild journey of life.
He starts with reflecting on the pain of the break-up, with the lyrics ‘Wake up in the morning, feel the emptiness inside, these walls reflect the emptiness of my broken heart and mind’. He then moves on to describe his attempt to overcome these feelings and to put his life back together, recollecting the pieces of his broken soul as he moves through his days.
The chorus paints a portrait of his bereftness and confusion as he sets out on his journey to heal himself. He expresses his confusion of the ways of the world, ‘Stumbling around tryin’ to figure out why / Searching for the reason it happens like this’ and wonders why he is unable to cope.
He finds hope by acknowledging the love of the people close to him, ‘Right when I’m feeling lost and alone, surround myself with loving alone’, that help him start to piece himself together again and eventually learn to find happiness in the here and now.
