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.
