On My Way
Foxes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know you're still haunting everything
And though someday maybe I'll be okay
But I can't escape, no no
I've damned myself tonight
I pray I'll be alright
But you let me down I swear
Can't even scream and shout
'Cause you left me numb my dear
Oh, won't you let me go?
Don't say it's okay
I was on my way to healing, oh
It's something I just need to learn
Every time I feel alone
I can't keep running back to you again
You turned my golden into dust
Rain on me until I rust
All I do is run to you again
Summers are over, lights can shine again
Giving myself to something I can't mend
And I know someday maybe I'll be okay
But am I to blame? Oh no
I've damned myself tonight
I pray I'll be alright
But you let me down I swear
Trying to cut you out
Can't even scream or shout
'Cause you left me numb my dear
Oh, won't you let me go?
Don't say it's okay
I was on my way to healing, oh
It's something I just need to learn
Every time I feel alone
I can't keep running back to you again
You turned my golden into dust
Rain on me until I rust
All I do is run to you again
Baby, I was on my way
I was on my way, I was on my way
Baby, I was on my way
I was on my way, I was on my way
Baby, I was on my way
I was on my way, I was on my way
Baby, I was on my way
I was on my way, I was on my way
It's something I just need to learn
Every time I feel alone
I can't keep running back to you again
You turned my golden into dust
Rain on me until I rust
All I do is run to you again
Baby, I was on my way
I was on my way, I was on my way
The lyrics of Foxes’s song “On My Way” are about the aftermath of a broken relationship. The singer is struggling to let go of their ex-partner and move on, as memories of the past still linger in their mind. Despite their efforts to heal, they are haunted by their former love, feeling numb and lost. The chorus repeats the phrase “I was on my way to healing,” but it’s clear that the singer is still clinging to their past and finding it difficult to move forward.
The opening lines, “Colours are fading fast from my memory, but I know you're still haunting everything” perfectly capture the emotions of someone who is trying to move on from a relationship that was once vibrant and full of life. The defeat in the repetition of “All I do is run to you again” shows the helplessness of someone who is unable to let go.
The line “You turned my golden into dust, rain on me until I rust” is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the pain of feeling betrayed by someone who they once trusted completely. The final repetition of “Baby, I was on my way,” brings a sense of resignation, as though the singer is accepting that they might never fully heal from this experience.
Overall, the lyrics of “On My Way” are a raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak and loss. The song captures the complicated emotions of someone who is trying to move on but can’t fully let go.

Homage
We met in Whelan’s,
you were on stage,
I two feet away,
enthralled by your beauty,
enchanted by your voice,
you sang of love and pain,
I wanted to give one
and take the other.
You took me on a rollercoaster,
rising and falling together
like two lovers,
cresting the emotional waves,
drowning together,
saving each other.
Afterwards as I left
the cold wind hit me,
I buttoned my coat,
desperately trying
to keep your
memory warm.
