On And On
Gungfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The window to where time don't pass
Such a terrible thing, to be stuck here
So get your keys and start your car
Drive somewhere, make sure it's far away Then it's ok
To go places that you wanna go
Show the people how a man can glow
And it's true,
The sky is blue where we're heading
And it's true, there's no ties holding us down
(On and on and on we go, feel the rhythm telling you to let go...)
Straight road through this ghostlike
town No one's left here, everyone's gone home
But the bar is still open
Sunshades on, let's start that car Destination; somewhere far away
Then it's ok
To sing songs with an open mind
Telling everyone you've left behind
That it is time
And it's true.
I've never been this far away
I've never been this far away
I've never been this far away
I've never been this far away
The song "On and On" by Gungfly talks about feeling trapped and stuck in life and the need to break free and go on a journey. The opening lines, "Looking out through the broken glass, the window to where time don't pass," represent a stagnant, hopeless feeling. The following lines describe the solution to this problem, "get your keys and start your car, drive somewhere, make sure it's far away, then it's ok." The idea is that a change of scenery, a physical distance from the problem, will help solve it.
The lyrics go on to describe the beauty of exploration and the freedom that comes with it. "To go places that you wanna go, show the people how a man can glow, if you let him go." The idea is that exploration allows you to find your true self and express it to others. The repetition of "And it's true" emphasizes that the feeling of freedom and openness is real and attainable.
The second verse adds to this theme of exploration, describing a deserted town that still has a bar open. The destination is again somewhere far away, emphasizing the importance of leaving the past behind and moving forward. The lyrics suggest that a journey can help you discover new things about yourself and the world around you. The repetition of "I've never been this far away" further emphasizes the idea of discovery and exploration as a necessary part of personal growth.
Overall, "On and On" is a song about breaking free from the constraints of life and discovering new things through journey and exploration. It emphasizes the importance of taking risks and leaving the past behind to find your true self.

Continue moving forth and feel the beat that encourages you to loosen up
Straight road through this ghostlike town
The path through this empty town is direct
No one's left here, everyone's gone home
Everyone has left and gone to their respective abodes
But the bar is still open
However, the pub remains open
Sunshades on, let's start that car
Wearing sunglasses, commence driving
Destination; somewhere far away
We're headed to a remote place
Then it's ok
It will be alright
To sing songs with an open mind
Sing freely with an uncluttered mindset
Telling everyone you've left behind
Informing those left behind
That it is time
That the time has arrived
And it's true.
And that is a fact.
I've never been this far away
I've never ventured this far from home before
I've never been this far away
I've never been this distant before
I've never been this far away
I've never been this remote before
I've never been this far away
This is the furthest I've ever been from home
