Foster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m either screaming through the mains or to a void of my own making
And all these machines are beeping put
A chorus, to keep us all locked inside
All dressed up, with nowhere to go
I won't be the last one
Who′ll never know
I heard life's what happens while you're regretting what you chose
And then on and on and on and on it goes
This chair is more like a hospital bed, it won′t let me rise or fall
And I′m so sick of being afraid of
What's on the other side of the wall
And all these monitors say that I′m a
Dead man, I'm never getting out alive
I heard that lie so many time I believed it, believe me
I won′t be the last one
Who won't know how
This life will end so why do I worry about it now?
I heard life′s what happens while you're regretting what you chose
And then on and on and on and on it goes
So pull the plugs and sound the alarm
This a lit match, this is a call to arms
We were always told we're on our own
But the truth is, we were never alone
And I want you
And I need you
And we′re together in this whether you like it or not, so wake up!
I won′t be the last one
Who'll never know
If I′m too broken now to find my way back home
I heard life's what happens while you′re regretting what you chose
And then on and on and on and on it goes
The lyrics of Foster's song "On and On" revolve around the theme of being stuck in a situation, unable to get out and paralyzed with fear. The opening lines "Tune in, Tune in, Is there anybody out there?" signals the feeling of isolation and desperation. The singer is screaming for help, but it is not clear whether anyone can hear them or not. The machines and monitors surrounding them seem to be adding to their misery, further locking them inside.
The second verse "This chair is more like a hospital bed, it won't let me rise or fall" suggests the singer's physical state might be the reason for their confinement. They might be in a hospital, unable to move or do anything, making them feel like they have nowhere to go. The line "I'm so sick of being afraid of what's on the other side of the wall," highlights their fear of the unknown.
The chorus "I won't be the last one who'll never know, why my courage gave up on me, right when I need it most" is a cry for help. The singer is struggling with their own limitations and fears, and they know that they are not alone in their struggle. The song's message is reinforced by the bridge "We were always told we're on our own, but the truth is, we were never alone," an optimistic reminder that even when we feel helpless, there is always someone there to lift us up.
