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.
