Walk on the Wild Side
DJ Disse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And love
It's not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
Before the second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it

Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen

You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much

Walk on
Walk on

Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one

Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going

Home
That's where the heart is

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break

All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind

All that you reason
All that you care

It's only time
And I'll never fill up all my mind(?)

All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see

All you create




All that you wreck
All that you hate

Overall Meaning

The song "Walk On" by Dj Disse revolves around the theme of walking through life despite the difficulties that come our way. The lyrics suggest that love is not an easy thing and the only baggage we carry is what we cannot leave behind. The song conveys the message of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. It encourages the listener to keep moving forward, even when darkness keeps us apart, or when there seems to be a long way to go to achieve a goal.


The song emphasizes the importance of staying safe and not letting anyone steal or destroy what we have. In the second verse, the lyrics describe a journey to an unknown destination, perhaps a metaphor for life itself. The singer muses that one could have flown away like a singing bird, but true freedom only comes from walking on to achieve it. The song acknowledges the pain and heartbreak that we all face along the way, but ultimately reminds us to "leave it behind" and keep going.
