Keep Going
Bay Ledges Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back in the garage
Back playing for love
Comes out in the wash
I can hear you above
And i will not let go baby
No, i will not lead you astray
Oh, i will not let go baby
There's too much left i have to say
Don't try to be right
Watch your step on the stairs
Keep your head in the light




It's only money, who cares
Keep your head in the light

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Bay Ledges' song "Keep Going" paint a picture of a musician pouring their heart into their passion project. The garage is a classic spot for young, aspiring artists to hone their craft, and it's also a place where they can escape from the outside world and focus solely on their music. The phrase "playing for love" reinforces the idea that the music they create is not just for fame or fortune but is a genuine expression of their emotions.


The line "Comes out in the wash, I can hear you above" could have multiple meanings. One interpretation could be that the emotions and thoughts that the musician is trying to convey are coming out clearly in the music they create. They can hear their own voice and meaning above the noise of the world, and they want their message to come through to their audience. Another interpretation could be that the musician is trying to let go of any negative thoughts or feelings that they are holding onto, and the process feels like a cleansing or "washing" of the mind.


The chorus of the song has a powerful message of perseverance and encouragement. The repetition of "I will not let go baby" is a reminder to both the listener and the singer themselves that no matter how difficult life may become, they won't give up. The line "There's too much left I have to say" shows that there's still so much to be done and shared, and the passion to create and communicate will never fade.


Line by Line Meaning

Back in the garage
Returning to the basics; starting over


Back playing for love
Making music for the sake of passion, not profit


Comes out in the wash
The truth will be revealed eventually


I can hear you above
I can feel your presence and your influence on me


And I will not let go baby
I am committed to this relationship and won't give up


No, I will not lead you astray
I won't misguide you or make the wrong choices for us


Oh, I will not let go baby
I won't abandon you or our love


There's too much left I have to say
There's still so much I want and need to communicate to you


Don't try to be right
It's not about winning, it's about mutual understanding and compromise


Watch your step on the stairs
Be careful and cautious; don't rush into things


Keep your head in the light
Stay positive and focused; don't let negativity or distractions bring you down


It's only money, who cares
Money isn't as important as love and happiness
