#1 top rated interpretation:Personally, I would say that this song represents the wreck that society is today. The song is secretly talking about how you need to make the right decisions in the right situations (or "all the right moves", as they say in the song) so you can get the right people to support you in situations in order to help you get what you want (or "all the right friends in all the right places"). Therefore, with all these right connections and decisions, you get what you want, which is often money, which you can use to get anything you want or using it to get more connections and et cetera.
(I feel like I went a little overboard with this. If I did, whoops) -

#2 top rated interpretation:It's a song describing people who are conforming to society. Tedder is basically mocking conformity. (That's why OneRepublic is such an awesome band. owo)

#3 top rated interpretation:I think the song is about two lovers. They're perfect for each other, but society in general doesn't like them, and they're all out to break them up. 'They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going/
Yeah, we're going down.'
The couple are happy and they're planning for the future and they have lots of dreams and ambitions, but one of them feels that s/he is not good enough for the other.'Do you think I'm special?/Do you think I'm nice?/Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?'
All their friends want them to break up, and they know that however much they love each other, in the end, the society will win . -
All the right moves of making good decision to make all of my bitches would think this song is good just saying
-
It could be about their experience as a band. They may have felt that they were more talented than others but less talented bands were ahead because of personal or professional connections.

So my two year old likes to listen to this song when he’s making all the right moves in all the right places. It’s his motivation song for getting up and going while he is potty training. Not what you are looking for, I am sure. But it cracked me right up.
-
You guys it's simple.
They were at a battle of the bands competition and had two or three weeks to get a song ready and they were competing against this better band (who knows who they were) but they decided to write this song about them and how they were never going to beat them, then they won with the performance.

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

I think they are trying to say that they are slowly being replaced by better sounding better looking bands who have connections in the music industry...... Maybe I'm weird, but thats my opinion

The song has a cryptical meaning and can be analyzed in many ways. I think this song is about how some people in the society are way better than others. It says that those people are better than others cuz those people have the right connections and they do the right things and so there is a high possibility that they can never match them. It mentions how they did everything good but the ‘perfect’ people are better and are improving every day. Even though the situation is looking good, and they are starting to success now,but they are no match for the perfect people who are eventually going to take them down. At last it mentions how he will never be as good as them, even if he looks like or acts like one of them.

I thinks its about there career. The music company has " all the right friend in all the right places" so there going down. In the song theres a piece that sas, "do you think im special... or am i drowning in an ocean of faces." I think thats about everyone wanting to get famous. Theres so much talent and ita hard to stay one the top, so is he special enough or is he sinking in an ocean of faces.
-
I basically think its about war. How things happen to create a big fight. All the right friends in all the right places. Well when you have your allies together then something is about to happen. The all the right moves in all the right places is saying events happened and now its lead up to this big conflict. Everybody knows where we're going. Yeah we're going down. Thats baiscally saying that everybody can tell whats about to happen overall Awesome song

I see the singer as a part of a failed rebelion of some sort. They fought for the "King of Hearts" and "The Queen of Spades" like they're just soldiers. Bad things only seem to happen when they are around, so they are punished the most. Rain can only fall on their heads. The "I could never be as good as you" bit is mocking and sarcastic.
Because of the mistreatment they're recieving, they fight back. But before the rebellion can start, it's shut down. The rulers have "All the right moves" and "All the right friends" to back them. They're going down. But this way, the leader doesn't get to kill them, not really.
The song is basically a big !@#$ you, dictators. we will be undefeated and become martrys. You can apply this to a much less lethal situation between the rich and the poor, the corrupt and the pure, and the racists vs. the colored. Even though we will fall, others will rise. -
All The Right Moves Lyrics
All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
All They got all the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you
They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades <------ Power stuggles this means
Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers that the bankers or wealth the
“ king of hearts “ have death in
mind for everyone else.
I know we've got it good <----- he is speaking about fame and the societies membership.
But they got it made <--------- talking about Christians.
And the grass is getting greener each day <--- speaking about society members and how they view
christians who did not sell there soul for fame
I know things are looking up <--------- he is talking about angels and JESUS
But soon they'll take us down, <----speaking about when all will be judged ..
before anybody's knowing our name. <------ there is not much time and they will be forgot.
They got all the right friends in all the wrong places <----- talking about holly wood and there contacts
So yeah, we're going down <---- knows that hell is real and is going there .
We've got all the wrong moves and all the wrong faces <---- was unable to translate could mean an
number of things .
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going <------ meaning that all the stars
know were they are going
because they told them .
Yeah, we're going down <-------- they know that there going to hell.
All They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going

Do you think I'm special? <---- is there anything different that you ?
Do you think I'm nice? <------ do you think this make a difference ?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces? <------ will this song influence you ?
Between the noise you hear <----- he is speaking about the hidden messages
And the sound you like <------ he is speaking about how they hide it .
Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces? <------ speaking about hollywood and music industry
“are you sinking” meaning over taken
by all the bombardment of there “faces”
It can be possible that rain can fall, <--- Tears from G-d as he is sad
Only when it's over our heads <----- but he will do what he has to to cleanse this world.
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away <---- Meaning he feels that God is far away.
Over the world is death. <------ meaning its over and judgement is upon us .
They got,
They got,
All the wrong friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got, all the wrong moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
All They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
All They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
It don't matter what you see. <---- meaning he does not care what G-d see's
I know I could never be
Someone that will look like you. <----- he is denying G-ds hand on making him and denying creation.
It don't matter what you say, <------ does not care about the word of G-d.
I know I could never face <----- he will never submit to him.
someone that could sound like you. <--------- he is angry with G-d .
