Overall Meaning

The first verse of "On & On" sees the singer acknowledging the positive influence that their significant other has had on their life. While they may have had flaws in the past, the partner has shown them what it means to be a good person, and they want to reciprocate that by being a better partner. This sentiment is continued in the second verse, where the singer talks about how their needs have been met and how they are having "tons of fun" with their lover.


The chorus, "On & On," is both a description of how the relationship is progressing and a statement of intent. The couple wants to keep moving forward, and they want their love to last forever. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the continuity of the relationship and the inevitability of its success. The bridge looks at the challenges that the couple may face in the future, but ultimately, the singer is confident that they can work through any issues to keep the relationship on track. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, reiterating the strength of their love and their desire to keep moving forward.

Something's wrong, my mind is gone
It won't be long before I lose it maybe
I will crawl into my soul to
Find a way to escape this
Sorry world
Don't take offense by my
Cold-hearted nature
I can't escape the dreams of my head
And where is the voice of yesterday's cries
Take me away from all your lies

Yet I don't wanna be here
For the rest of my life
I don't wanna be here

Something's wrong...I don't belong here
Staring at the people, they talk about me
Whispering words to spite my passion
I'll move on maybe I'll live in chance
Now it don't make sense why you're
Just like the rest
It's easy to see I am the one you attest
Oh this awful life has a changing hours
of you pass before my eyes

Yet I don't wanna be here
For the rest of my life
I don't wanna be here

Downtown is where her future there
All of my respect for you though it washed away
Now that you've come back to me
You give me yourself
That's all that I need

Yet I don't wanna be here
For the rest of my life
I don't wanna be here

You know I'll be here
You know I'll be here

@SonicVisionary

The perfect example of a band that radio dropped the ball on. This album was full of great songs and multiple radio hits. One of the many bands that deserved more.

@apploragprucely49

Pandora Radio plays them often on my channels, I had never heard of Cool for August before.

@davidoliver4257

Absolutely right! Seen these guys open for matchbox 20 on matchbox's debut, they rocked!

@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5

I agree...it's not common for a band to put out an album where all the songs are great....this band accomplished that.

@paulski6

SonicVision
Au contraire
My local so. Fla alt radio loved these guys.
So did MTV (120 mins)
Something else derailed em I fear.

@ladylakemusic5958

Gordon has a new band called REWIND I'm his promoter Cindy. Video on the way!!

One of the best bands from the 90's. They deserved a great music career and never got it. I still rock out to this CD in my truck from time to time. Majorly underrated group.

@AJAXKID123

This is one of those songs that make me wonder, “Why the hell wasn’t this a big hit?”. It deserved way more love than it got.

@kimberlee533

I have listened to this album over and over for years. I really wish they had made more music. Gordon's voice is so unique.
