On & on
Laura Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moment you took the stage I was yours
Every syllable on your tongue touched my nerves
Between what you sang and what I heard you threw me

I know every thought inside your head
You dream like me but play the dream instead
I'm waking up and going back to bed without it
On & on, the way you play me
On & on, I'm blown away

I could have a million words inside my mouth
But I'm tongue tied paralyzed in doubt
Maybe your lips on mine could ease them out
On & on, on & on, I'm blown away

I'm soaking in the memory

Drinking up words that pulse and ring
You're shaking up every single part of me
On & on, the way you play me
On & on, I'm blown away
Hey, I want you alone
There's nobody else, nobody else
Hey, I want you alone
There's nobody else, nobody else

I could have a million words inside my mouth
But I'm tongue tied paralyzed in doubt




Maybe your lips on mine could ease them out
On & on, on & on, I'm blown away

The chorus of the song emphasizes the impact the person has on her by repeating "On & on, the way you play me/On & on, I'm blown away."

Dani nailed that biomechanic in all of ink master history

@anacaeiro1049

and it wass her first!!!

@biggeez1413

Only biomech I ever liked. I was bummed when they chose it for her. She's so talented she made me like it anyway.

@thewarhammerworkshop

Just me that doesn't see any of the "mech" part. All of the tattoo looks biological.

@frostedpumpkin3910

What even is that though

@hobbes296

@@thewarhammerworkshop Yeah...I was wondering the same thing?

Jason had a dope ass tattoo, the lines, the black and grey but it wasnt realism..i think the girls got him good with that concept

@TheSkyHazCloudz

Beyond just the realism caveat, the top third of that tattoo is really what did him in. The hair is a little weird, and he should've done the hat way darker to balance the whole thing out. The top third is just a little tonal.

@wufabufa

Jason really likes to draw and you can tell he used his creativity in that piece, but ultimately that was his downfall. It came out looking like an illustration rather than realism because he likely didn't use any reference material. Great tattoo but if he had taken a photo and replicated it he would have won.

@DaddyBear3000

The main problem he had was that it was a pirate. A few people have said the sword wasn’t too hot either.
