Carry On
Bayside Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight face your own demons
And think "were all these years real?"
Guilty, waiting for a miracle,
We have nothing to discuss,
Nothing to rebuild
You've lost all your tracks

Addicted to information, quimical of happiness
Possessions, everything is for sale, now you can buy your memories

Lost, confused, looking for yourself
Don't be afraid, you don't need this fucking shit
Ok! It's time to be yourself and carry on
Hold your breath and carry on

So close, so close...




Tonight, your second chance, your second chance
Tonight, save yourself and carry on

Overall Meaning

The Bayside Kings's song Carry On is a lyrical masterpiece that speaks about personal struggles and the need to carry on despite them. The opening line, "Tonight, face your own demons," sets the tone for the song's central theme of confronting one's innermost fears and insecurities. As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that time has passed and the singer is questioning the validity of the previous years. They consider a 'miracle' as the only way out of their guilty ways, suggesting they have wronged someone or something. However, the next line "We have nothing to discuss, nothing to rebuild" implies that they have moved on and come to accept that there is no going back.
