Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you think it's al gone wrong
Go on and on and on
Life's a con a con a con
If you think you can't go on
Go on and on and on
But always remember
This is the happiest day of your life
Life goes on and on and on
If you think it's al gone wrong
Go on and on and on
Life's a con a con a con
If you think you can't go on
Go on and on and on
And as the years they move along
I see it now, there's something wrong
'Cos life is for always
Take your time
Who cares what fools say
I don't mind
'Cos this is my day
I'll live it my way
Today, there's just today
Life goes on and on and on
If you think it's al gone wrong
Go on and on and on
Life's a con a con a con
If you think you can't go on
Go on and on and on
The Damned's song "Life Goes On" seems to be a celebratory anthem that encourages listeners to keep moving forward, even when things seem bleak. The chorus repeats the phrase "Life goes on and on and on" several times, emphasizing the idea that no matter what happens, time and the world continue to move forward. The lyrics suggest that life is full of ups and downs, but the key to happiness is to keep going no matter what.
The second verse introduces the idea that life can feel like a con or scam at times, but the chorus once again encourages listeners to keep moving forward despite this feeling. The bridge of the song offers a reminder that every day is a gift and should be celebrated. The final verse acknowledges that there may be something wrong in the world, but encourages listeners to take their time and enjoy life on their own terms.
