On And On
Kirby Krackle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look in my mind a window pane blurry
These claws I have unmistakable
I always heal but I never stop hurting
I have no past, no sense of time
No safe place here and no finish line
I've put more loves in to the ground
And questioning everything inside
Has brought me now, to here, this is my life
Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes
Battles fought they never stop
When Creed appears it never goes sweetly
Sinister glares through his test vials
When Wilson speaks I always go crazy
There's no repast, no destiny
No time to waste with this weight on me
From Madripor to New York State
I'll never catch these ghosts I chase, fear
And questioning everything inside
Has brought me now, to here, this is my life
Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes
Until Friday night the Elf and I get drinking
Talk and share stories from long ago
People forgotten and things we can't let go
The weekend passes like a blur
Xavier's checking in to see if I'm doing fine
And Sunday's winding down, until
Monday comes, fly to the Savage Land
Tuesday rooftop battles with a gang of Hand
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes until
Wednesday morn filled up with bullet wounds
Thursday night tearing up the Wrecking Crew
On and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

This was an excellent piece of work, bravo! I really enjoyed the scene with the other mutants. The music was awesome stuff. I wish I could 5 it. Thumbs up.

Great film and one of my favorite songs on the album. KIRBY KRACKLE ROCKS!
Davia
This not only was great but it made me appreciate Wolverine more too :)
truedeadman
Great job by all involved! Loved it.

Probably the best cartoon inspired song I've ever heard, if not the only one I've heard so far. Cartoon-like stillness of the video is fantastic and just works incredibly well with the theme and song.

I think I've found a deeper understanding of Wolverine after having watched this. Thank you!

He's really a deep character. Everyone wants the claws and healing, no one thinks about "I've put more lives I to the ground than any man can say he's found". I've helped multiple family members through the ends of their lives. It does not get easier. If you saw Logan, I almost left the theater when Xavier says "you're waiting for me to die". I broke down because my grandmother said the exact same words to me and I felt like shit because she was right. So was Xavier. It's not that we don't care it's just that until they pass its extremely hard on you emotionally. Well I got quite a bit more personal than I had intended to.
Wolverine is so much more than claws and fighting. He's tired of the fighting and living such a lonely life. I believe he wants peace and is probably looking forward to his own death which is the only way he will find that peace

My favorite parts are this A: this is what wolverine SHOULD look like and B: the scene with all the others ESPECIALLY his interaction with nightcrawler just that little touch on his shaulder before poofing is Beautiful

Interesting. Being immortal would be emotionally numbing after a time. After all, how many friends and lovers could a person outlive before he, or she, would simply give up on trying to love the mainly being about him/herself.
