Carry On
Axe Riverboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta face the problem, yeah
We didn't climb all the way up to the top to hit rock bottom, yeah, yeah, yeah
And your life has changed not for better not for worse
Get it rearranged, don't you fall back under curse
Chorus
Come on let's match that flash on the awn and change the season
Carry on and on you know this ain't no swan song
Don't look at me with those eyes
You'll always be a natural wonder, yeah
I split my mind and internalize
You deserve to have it so much better
God breaks of ideas but no change in your purse
This is no big deal we don't wanna be reimbursed
Chorus
Can you here the bells chime
Can't you tell it's the right time
Chorus
Ain't no swan song
Ain't no swan song
Carry on and on and on and on and on
The opening line of the song “I don't think that you're a columbine” is a reference to the tragic 1999 school shooting that took place in Columbine High School. The singer is essentially saying that he doesn't believe that his subject is capable of violence, and he urges them to face their problems instead of resorting to drastic measures. The line “We didn't climb all the way up to the top to hit rock bottom” implies that the listener has achieved a degree of success, and the singer wants them to keep pushing forward instead of giving up.
The chorus of the song is a message of hope and determination, urging the listener to “carry on” despite any obstacles they may face. The line “Come on let's match that flash on the awn and change the season” is a reference to the idea of seizing the moment and making the most of opportunities. The singer emphasizes that this is not the end – “this ain't no swan song” – and encourages the listener to keep striving for a better future.
The final verse of the song acknowledges the challenges of life, and the fact that sometimes things just don't go our way. The line “God breaks of ideas but no change in your purse” is a reference to the idea that inspiration and creativity can come at any moment, but true change often requires resources and financial means. However, the singer believes that this is no reason to give up, and reassures the listener that their struggles are “no big deal” in the grand scheme of things.

La chanson est chouette, le clip aussi, mais je trouve que la moustache ne va pas du tout à Xavier (enfin, c'est mon avis...)
