Life Goes On
Bruno Coulais & Akhenaton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were young had
Dreams like everyone
Will they come true only
God knows son
That's what momma says
She's not here today
Had visions of what our
Lives would be

Jaded pictures give us reality
Somethings pulling me unknown gravity
In a world were life's not guaranteed
Do we know what is our destiny
Hope was all we had
Sometimes life was bad
But I'll remember you
Till the day I die never
Let them stop me from tryin to fly
Pain and misery
Has made a stronger
Me and life

Life goes on
And I still remember
Life goes on
Cold days in December
Life goes on
Praying things get better
Life goes on
Knowing everything
Must change

Memories of the joy
We used to share
And the laughter that's
No longer there
Make me shed a tear
Wish that you were here
Cause everthough we're gone
Are separate ways
I can't help thinking about yesterday
When we played as kids
And all the things we did
Know on know's why life
Takes a funny change
In the blink of on
Eye it's not the same
Just remember pray
Dreams do slip away but life

Life goes on
And I still remember
Life goes on
Cold days in December
Life goes one
Praying things get better
Life goes on
Knowing everything must change
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same
Life goes on
And I still remember
Life goes on
Cold days in December
Life goes on
Praying things get better

Life goes on
Knowing everything must change

Overall Meaning

The song "Life Goes On" by Bruno Coulais and Akhenaton is about memories, the highs and lows of life and the inevitability of change. The lyrics suggest that when we were young, we had dreams and a vision of what our lives would be. However, life has a way of not always following the plans we make. The song is a reflection of what we wished for in life and what we got.

The first verse of the song mentions the singer's mother saying that our lives are only known to God. It expresses how the singer's mother had visions of what their lives would be, but it did not go as planned. The line "jaded pictures give us reality" suggests that as we age, reality sets in and the dreamy visions of life we had as young people fade away. However, the song ends on a hopeful note: "praying things get better, knowing everything must change." It suggests that while we may not always get what we wish for, there is always the hope that things will improve.

The chorus of the song "Life goes on" is repeated throughout, suggesting that change is the only constant in life. The lyrics express the idea that we cannot predict what will happen in life, but we must continue to move forward. The song presents the idea that it is important to remember the good times and the people who have impacted our lives even as life changes around us.

We don't know for sure if our dreams will come true, and

God knows son
only God knows the answer

That's what momma says
Our mom used to say that

She's not here today
but she's not here anymore

Had visions of what our
We had imagined our future lives

Lives would be
but reality is not always how we imagined it

Jaded pictures give us reality
Our reality may not match our idealized visions

Somethings pulling me unknown gravity
But something keeps pulling me

In a world were life's not guaranteed
In this world, life is unpredictable

Do we know what is our destiny
We don't know what the future holds and what's meant for us

Hope was all we had
All we had was hope

Sometimes life was bad
Sometimes life was hard

But I'll remember you
But I'll always remember you

Till the day I die never
I will never forget you

Knowing everything

Memories of the joy
I have memories of the happiness

We used to share
we used to experience together

And the laughter that's
And the laughter that's no longer there

No longer there
makes me feel lonely

Make me shed a tear
The memories make me sad

Wish that you were here
I wish you were still here with me

Cause everthough we're gone
Although we're no longer together

Are separate ways
We went our separate ways

I can't help thinking about yesterday
I can't stop thinking about the past

When we played as kids
Especially when we were children playing together

And all the things we did
The things we did together

Know on know's why life
Nobody understands why life is so unpredictable

Takes a funny change
How things change is often strange and unexpected

In the blink of on
Sometimes things change suddenly, like in the blink of an eye

Eye it's not the same
And it's never the same again

Just remember pray
We should always remember to pray

Dreams do slip away but life
Our dreams may slip away, but life

Everything must change
Everything is subject to change

Nothing stays the same
Nothing is permanent
