Fun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of July
You swore and said, "We are not"
"We are not shining stars"
This I know
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friends in the edge of the night
At a bar off seventy five
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives
But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times, I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me
If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
Woah my head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever gonna stop us now
'Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come, we will find our way home
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop , no one's ever gonna stop)
(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
The song "Carry On" by fun. is an uplifting anthem that encourages listeners to keep going, no matter what obstacles they may face. The opening verse describes a chaotic scene in which the singer wakes up to the sound of "cars... cutting like knives in a fist fight." He finds someone drinking alone with a broken heart, and they exchange words about not being "shining stars." Despite this, the singer believes that carrying on is key to surviving difficult times. He has not experienced real "hell," but he knows that moving forward is the only way to live without regret.
In the second verse, the singer meets friends at a bar and discusses difficult subjects, like death and loss. He admits that he has been hurt in the past, but he doesn't want to harbor resentment. Instead, he wants to "cheat it all" and make up for lost time. He acknowledges that he was once lost and alone, but now he has found a way to navigate the world without fear.
The chorus repeats the phrase "carry on" as a mantra for perseverance. The singer encourages listeners to let their past be the "sound of your feet upon the ground," meaning that they should learn from their experiences without being held back by them. The bridge describes a feeling of invincibility that comes from holding on to hope and self-confidence. The final repeat of the chorus is filled with energy as the singer declares that "no one's ever gonna stop us now." This is a song about resilience, courage, and determination in the face of adversity.

Hey there fellow traveler, stop for a second and read this:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." ~ John 3:16
Life is too short to just throw it away. Live it right for God, love God, and inherit eternal life in God's kingdom ❤️. The new Kingdom will be free of the curse of sin (death, suffering, violence, disease, evil, etc.) A true, spiritual journey awaits you! 🕊❤️
I was a militant atheist for years and later dabbled in the occult. I never imagined I would be a Christian. I hated the religion. However, I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that completely changed me and my life.
Nothing this world can offer you even compares to knowing Jesus. His peace, love, and joy transcends all.
Jesus Christ loves you, He is your Creator ❤️🕊🙏 Seek Him with a genuine heart and He will reveal His existence to you. The truth shall make you free, friends! (John 8:32) ❤️🕊🙏

My sister introduced me to Fun.....so many years ago. Before this album. But I was going through treatment for breast cancer when this was released. I had no desire to go out and be with anyone and my sister dragged me to their concert. I locked eyes with young woman there with her daughter. And we knew, we recognized each others as survivors. We held hands and sang as loud as we could through this song. It gave me hope. I lost my sister in October, I'm trying to find that hope again. This song and that amazing memory I have, of that amazing concert..it helps.
