Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey
Carry on carry on
Puffin' on the heavy metal
That's loud that's grass
Keep me trippy like an echo
Guzzling prosecco
It ain't hard for me to let go
I'm reminded imma rebel
Last of a dying breed
It's hard for me to settle
Who radder than?
You half a man
No vacation
But gods near, beyond fear
I bestow up you
The god's here
I got you I got you
I got you like mugatu
'Cause you been acting different
Got me tripping like untied shoes
That's not how I move
See Johnny's cool
As the fridge is
Ya ridiculous and ignorant
Try to act all innocent
Before you got the timberland
That's the boot mami
'Cause you grimy
And you tight
Ain't no noose on me
I'm living mine
You hear them rooting for me
The lyrics to Alison Wonderland's song Carry On are introspective and self-reflective. The main message of the song is to keep going, to carry on despite the chaos and distractions that life can throw at us. The first verse begins by referencing the act of smoking marijuana and getting high. The use of the metaphor "puffin' on the heavy metal" evokes the image of a train moving forward, further emphasizing the notion of carrying on. The line "Guzzling Prosecco" suggests that the singer is indulging in life's pleasures to "keep me trippy like an echo." Essentially the singer is saying that they find meaning in art and experiences that are ephemeral and fleeting, much like the sound of an echo.
The second verse expands on the theme of rebellion and individuality. The singer suggests that they are "The last of a dying breed" and that they find it hard to "settle." They are unimpressed by those who are "half a man" and "ridiculous and ignorant." Despite this, the singer remains confident in themselves and their ability to thrive. The line "I'm living mine, you hear them rooting for me" speaks to the idea that even when it seems like the world is against you, there are always people cheering you on.
Overall, Carry On is a song that speaks to the human experience of facing adversity and the importance of perseverance. It's about ignoring the negativity and distractions of the world and continuing to move forward.
