Motive Lyrics

[Intro]
What's your motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Verse 1]
All I wanna do is break away
Why is lovin' you my favorite pain?
Hang me out to dry on rainy days
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Pre-Chorus]
So what's your motive? (Oh, yeah)
What's your motive when you call my name?
Just be honest, oh
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Chorus]
What's your motive? (Oh)
What's your motive (In this game?) What's your motive (In this game?)
What's the motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Verse 2]
Wasn't cautious 'cause in your arms you took my heart and you unlocked it
It's my mistake, I thought it's safe but then you dropped it
Now I'm heartlеss, look, you started all this darkness, can't control it
So what's your motive?

[Chorus]
What's your motivе? (Oh)
What's your motive (In this game?) What's your motive (In this game?)
What's the motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Post-Chorus]
What's your motive? (Oh)
What's the motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Bridge]
All I wanna do is break away
Why is lovin' you my favorite pain?
Hang me out to dry on rainy days
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

[Outro]
What's your motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?
What's your motive? (Oh)
What's your motive in this hopeless game?

What did Armin van Buuren say about "Motive"?

Genius Answer

Although the notion of a motive refers mostly to love and heartbreak in the song’s lyrics, I think there’s a broader meaning to it that’s worth homing in on. Sometimes, especially when you find yourself limited, numb or otherwise repressed, you’ve got to be honest and ask yourself what your own motive is. Gaining a new perspective could be key to overriding whatever it is that holds you back.
