I Walk On
Carpark North Lyrics

The phone rang.
The singer's phone rang.

When I picked it up, she didn't say anything. at first.
The singer answers the phone and hears silence on the other end.

Then I heard her cry - i thought; what is this?
The person on the phone starts to cry and the singer is unsure what is happening.

She told me: He's gone.
The person on the phone informs the artist that someone has died.

He died last night.
The person on the phone reveals that the death occurred the previous night.

This is where I would lay my head
The singer is in a physical location where they would normally sleep.

This is where I felt safe
The location where the singer sleeps is where they feel secure.

There are so many steps ahead
The artist feels overwhelmed by the future.

sorrow has found it's place.
The artist is experiencing grief.

I turn on the light, but still it's dark
The artist tries to turn on a light but feels emotionally in darkness.

it's so quiet it hurts my ears
The singer is in silence and it's painful.

There is no beating from your heart
The deceased no longer has a heartbeat.

You are no longer here.
The deceased is gone.

But i walk on
Despite the grief, the singer continues living.

all though you're gone.
The singer acknowledges the absence of the deceased.

without you.
The artist lives without the deceased.

I turn off my heart so I can breathe
The artist emotionally distances themselves to cope.

and as my body starts to fall
The singer feels like giving up on life.

I pull myself up to get on my feet
The singer forces themselves to keep going despite wanting to give up.

I'm walking with my heart cold
The artist feels emotionally numb.

I feel a resistence everywhere
The artist faces challenges at every turn.

it's hard to stand at all
The artist struggles to stay strong.

i carry much more than I can bear
The weight of the grief is more than the singer can handle.

and when im about to fall
The artist is about to give up.

I walk on
The singer keeps going despite the pain.

my feet are worn.
The singer is tired and worn out.

Oooooooooh
Expression of emotion and grief, not a clear meaning.

Road is long.
The future feels long and difficult.

One by one.
The artist will face their challenges one at a time.

Life goes on.
Despite the grief, life still moves forward.

I walked on.
The singer has made progress despite the challenges.

are you really gone, your love is here
The artist questions if the love from the deceased is still present and real.

I walk on
The artist keeps going despite missing the deceased.
