On And On
Jorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A kiss of the wind when the spirits let fly
To the coldness of the sun
I’ve got no place to hide nowhere to run
When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I’ve got to get back home
The wind don’t wait for no one no one at all

Moves on and on and on and on and on
Look behind the window winter’s come

Blood on the streets when the black skies shout
And the people cry no more
Dreams just fade away reality’s sore
The only crime is in fate
Can’t think can’t relate
Illusion seized his mind
The key to all the answers locked in his eyes

Moves on and on and on and on and on
Look behind the window winter’s come... oh yeah

A kiss of the wind when the spirits let fly
To the coldness of the sun
I’ve got no place to hide nowhere to run
When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I’ve got to get back home
The wind don’t wait for no one no one at all

Moves on and on and on and on and on
Look behind the window winter’s come




Moves on and on and on and on and on
Moves on and on and on and on and on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jorn's song "On and On" paint a picture of a tumultuous world where the winds carry the essence of the spirits and the mountains sigh, while the people cry and the skies shout. The imagery is such that the listener is drawn into a sense of uncertainty and chaos, where reality is sore and dreams fade away. The song talks about the feeling of being trapped, with no place to hide and nowhere to run, but to return back home. The lyrics suggest that no one can escape the wind, which moves on and on, waiting for no one.


Moreover, the song hints at the idea that fate is the only crime, wherein one loses the ability to think, relate, and communicate with the world around them. The lyrics suggest that the key to all the answers is locked in the eyes, but the illusion of the mind tends to blur the truth. The song concludes by repeating the line, "Moves on and on," emphasizing the unstoppable nature of life, and the coming of the winter, which represents the transience of time.


Overall, the lyrics of "On and On" are deep and insightful, portraying the inescapable nature of the chaotic and constantly moving world, wherein people search for a sense of security and meaning in their lives.

Oh oh oh a kiss of the wind then the spirits let fly
To the coldness of sun
I got no place to hide nowhere to run
When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I've got to get back home
The wind don't wait for no one no one at all
Moves on and on and on and on and on
Look behind the window winter's come
Blood on the streets when the black skies shout
And then people cry no more
Dreams just fade away realities soar
The only crime is his fate can't think can't relate
