Carry On
Kai Elle Lyrics

The lyrics of Kai Elle's song "Carry on" portrays a sense of weariness and despair, along with an inner urge to continue on despite the obstacles. The opening lines of the song "I've got some bad news, I abuse my shoes" signifies the self-destructive behavior of the singer. As she walks and runs away from her problems, she wears out her shoes as a metaphor for wearing out her resolve and spirit. She expresses a feeling of emptiness with the line, "I've got nothing left to say," emphasizing the feeling of a silent scream inside her.

The chorus of the song, "I've got to carry on, carry on, even though I know it's wrong," contains an air of guilt and remorse. Despite recognizing the negative impact of her actions, she still feels the need to continue moving forward, "The road I go is long." The lyrics "There's no place like home" implies that she longs for comfort and stability, yet she is unable to find it. The singer expresses the pain of being alone in the lines, "I am so alone" and "I've broken my own heart by letting down my guard."

The song's title and lyrics "Carry on" concludes the overall message of the song that one must persevere through life's difficulties despite the feelings of despair and hopelessness. The gritty city mentioned throughout the song serves as a metaphor for the rough and unrelenting circumstances of life. The singer has no other option but to "carry on" and hope for better days ahead.
