Go On
JK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm only dreaming
It's not my fantasy
This is a reality
I have to escape, I have to escape from here

Danger in the night the hounds are at your heels
Crawling in the mud you slither like an eel
Prisoners on the run in winter time
You gotta try and hide

All you feel is pain burning in your soul
Driving you insane on and on you go
Prisoners on the run, don't lose you mind tonight
You don't wanna die

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You gotta survive
But there's just not enough to hold on
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You wanna survive but there's just not enough to go on

Sleepin' as you run, watchin' where you stand
Anger in your heart, panic in your head
Rebel on the run your night is crime
Timing not on your side
Raining hard and fast, you're just moving slow
How long can you last, on and on you go
Rebel on the run, don't lose you mind tonight
You don't wanna die

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You gotta survive
But there's just not enough to hold on
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You wanna survive but there's just not enough to go on

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You just wanna stop but you find it moving you on
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You just wanna stop but you know that you gotta go on

Wilder and wilder you're growing inside me
I don't know where I'm going
I'm like a tiger in the night looking for a place to hide
I'm not in a dream, it's not my fantasy
This is a reality, i'm like a tiger in the night

I have to escape, I have to escape from here
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You gotta survive
But there's just not enough to hold on
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You wanna survive but there's just not enough to go on

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You just wanna stop but you find it moving you on




Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You just wanna stop but you know that you gotta go on

I remember when this came out back in 98. People went crazy on the dance floor back in Toronto This was a huge Club anthem, and this original version is the best.

Jax Aries

a tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

Eddy

Toronto had a great club scene late 90s we had Sean Paul before anyone Jersey Shore ripped off Torontos Gino community

Totally. From blue suade sues, club ivy, queens in barrie etc etc. 80s and 90s music rocked. Today's youth will never get to experience all the amazing 90s music because its not the same and todays music blows!

Fantasmino

Wonderful music and beautiful, touching lyric ❤❤❤

I remember when I was a kid I thought this track seemed fitting for a well-choreographed and highly theatrical fight scene. 😂
