Distant Cousins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head can't stop spinning, so I turn the radio on.
There was a scum brushing my skin,
you told me apart so I could begin.
Oooooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Oooooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way.
I see it, I feel it, I'm going, I'm on my way
There's light in the distance and all I can do is keep trying
There was a scum brushing my skin,
you told me apart so I could begin.
Ooh Ooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Ooh Ooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way.
I see it, I feel it, I'm going, I'm on my way.
There was a scum brushing my skin,
you told me apart so I could begin.
Ooh Ooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Ooh Ooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way.
Ooh Ooh I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I see it, I feel it, I'm going, I'm on my way.
The song "On My Way" by Distant Cousins is a classic road trip anthem that celebrates the feeling of freedom and the excitement of the journey ahead. The song starts with the singer driving down the open road with no one else around. The feeling of freedom is overwhelming, and his head can't stop spinning. To add to the excitement, the singer turns on the radio, which acts as a companion on the journey.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on moments from his past, particularly the mistakes he has made. However, he doesn't let them hold him back on his journey. He sees a light in the distance and feels a sense of purpose to keep going forward. It's almost like he's trying to outrun his past mistakes and start anew.
The chorus of the song is repetitive, reflecting the endless possibilities of the journey ahead. The "scum" brushing the singer's skin seems to be a metaphor that he's shedding his old self as he embarks on a new adventure. The chorus's repetition also creates a sense of momentum that builds up throughout the song, reflecting the excitement of what's to come.
Overall, "On My Way" is a perfect anthem for anyone embarking on a new adventure. It's filled with hope, excitement, and a sense of purpose that's infectious and inspiring.
