Pass It On
Coral Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day I recognize
What's deceased and what's alive
But don't repeat what I just said
Until gold has turned to lead
Then all the tales will be told
Whilst you and I are in the cold
But don't think this is the end
'Cause it's just begun, my friend

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

For every tear cried in shame
There'll be someone else to blame
And every crime that I commit
There'll be a punishment to fit
But I'd accept what's coming round
If I could only lose this sound
That's been ringing in my ears
And tormenting me for years

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on




Just find the feeling
Pass it on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pass It On" by Coral depict a message of hope and perseverance, even in the face of adversity. The song seems to be about the passing of time and the realization that everything we see around us will eventually fade. The first verse suggests that the singer is aware of the transitory nature of life, and encourages listeners not to take what she says for granted. She urges them to wait until "gold has turned to lead," until everything has been revealed and understood. It seems that the singer is withholding information, wanting listeners to learn for themselves the lessons that life will inevitably teach.


The second verse continues the theme of acceptance and responsibility. The singer acknowledges her own imperfection, admitting that she has made mistakes and that there will be consequences to her actions. However, she asserts that she is willing to face the repercussions of her actions so long as she can be freed from the "sound / That's been ringing in my ears / And tormenting me for years." The song seems to be urging listeners to look within themselves, to take responsibility for their own actions and decisions, and to find hope and meaning in the midst of life's inevitable trials and tribulations.


Overall, "Pass It On" is a song that seems to be about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that can often seem chaotic, confusing, and transitory. The song acknowledges the reality of suffering, but ultimately suggests that there is a way through it all, so long as we are willing to take responsibility for our lives and to pass on the lessons we have learned to future generations.


Line by Line Meaning

Every day I recognize
I am aware and acknowledge my surroundings daily


What's deceased and what's alive
I distinguish between what is living and what has died


But don't repeat what I just said
Do not share what I have said without understanding it


Until gold has turned to lead
Don't share until the worth and meaning has reversed


Then all the tales will be told
Once the worth and meaning has reversed, all stories will be shared


Whilst you and I are in the cold
While we are left in the dark and ignorant


But don't think this is the end
This is not the conclusion of all stories


'Cause it's just begun, my friend
There is more to hear and share, my friend


For every tear cried in shame
For every embarrassing and regrettable moment experienced


There'll be someone else to blame
There will always be someone to blame for those moments


And every crime that I commit
For every offense I may cause


There'll be a punishment to fit
A fitting consequence will be in store


But I'd accept what's coming round
I will welcome the consequence coming my way


If I could only lose this sound
If only I can forget the repetitive thoughts in my mind


That's been ringing in my ears
That has been constantly bothering me


And tormenting me for years
And has caused me agony for a long time


When it's done
When everything is over


And all this is gone
And all that was known disappears


Just find the feeling
Embrace the emotions


Pass it on
Share it with others


Just find the feeling
Embrace the emotions


Pass it on
Share it with others


Just find the feeling
Embrace the emotions


Pass it on
Share it with others

Lyrics
Every day I recognise
What's deceased and what's alive
Don't repeat what I just said
Until gold has turned to lead

And all the tales will be told
Whilst you and I are in the cold
But don't think this is the end
'Cause it's just begun my friend

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

For every tear cried in shame
There'll be someone else to blame
And every crime that I commit
There'll be a punishment to fit

And I'd accept what's coming round
If I could only lose this sound
That's been ringing in my ears
And tormenting me for years

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

Just find the feeling
pass it on

Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling

@elgarpogue7995

Her name's Jenny, the record company wanted less of her in the film & the boys disagreed & kept her in, rightfully so. Unfortunately she died a few years ago, keep dancing Jenny R.I.P.
