On and on and on and on
Everybody leave your worries behind
You gotta open your mind and just rave on, rave on
Future is ours because we are the young
Together we're strong and just rave on, rave on
Everybody leave your worries behind
You gotta open your mind and just rave on, rave on
Together we're strong and just rave on, rave on
Party people, just rave on
One for the home and two for the show
Check it out and let it go
You gotta keep on raving
You gotta keep on raving
You gotta keep on raving
You gotta keep on raving
You gotta keep on raving
You gotta keep on raving
Everybody leave your worries behind
You gotta open your mind and just rave on, rave on

The lyrics to DJ Paul Elstak's song "Rave On" speak to the idea of leaving one's worries behind and immersing oneself in the present moment through dance and the energy of a rave. The repetition of "on and on and on" creates a sense of continuous motion and emphasizes the idea of the music and the experience carrying on without end. The refrain of "everybody leave your worries behind, you gotta open your mind and just rave on" encourages listeners to forget their troubles and embrace the spirit of the rave, while the line "future is ours because we are the young, together we're strong and just rave on" speaks to the power and potential of youth and unity in creating a positive future.
The verses continue the theme of the present moment, with lines like "do the dance, it's not a crime" and "to the rhythm goes the sway," emphasizing the physicality and transformative nature of dance. The call-out to "party people" also strengthens the sense of community and togetherness at a rave. The final "rave on" repetition serves as a rallying cry, encouraging listeners to continue the energy and spirit of the experience beyond the song and into their lives.

Such an uplifting classic! :) Too bad the audio level is like -15 dB - I've turned the volume up to the max on my 2x700W amplifier and still no effect of satisfying sound-saturation in the room. :/ Normalize audio and reupload. ;)
Edit: Nevermind, I've just found a MP3 file of this song in my collection that's normalized @ 0dB. :) Will play it on repeat.
Edit2: After 25 looped plays of this piece I've cut my mushrooms, texted a meaningful message to a friend, thought about life, raves, music and I feel alive. Definitely, a good track! :)
