On And On
MSG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 soars
His crime is his fate can't think, can't relate illusions seized his mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!
Moves on and on and on and on and on
Look behind the Window, winter's come

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
Moving on and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Look behind, wind is coming on

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on




On and on and on and on and on
...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MSG's song "On And On" are a tribute to the forces of nature that are beyond human control. They illustrate the power of the wind and the mountains and how they can alter human life. The song opens with a gentle kiss of the wind that runs into the coldness of the sun, signifying the unstoppable movement of the wind. The persona has nowhere to run or hide from the wind, and when it gets high, the mountains sigh. The urge to get back home is triggered by the uncertain and volatile nature of the wind.


The second verse introduces an element of despair, where blood stains the streets, and black skies shout. People cry no more, and dreams just fade away as reality soars. The persona describes someone who has lost touch with reality and is trapped in illusions that have seized his mind. His crime has become his fate, and the key to all the answers are locked in his eyes. The verse ends with the repeated reminder that the wind moves on and on and on and on, signifying that life must go on despite the challenges that the wind and other forces of nature bring.


In conclusion, MSG's "On And On" provides a powerful and emotional portrayal of the forces of nature that shape human life. The song reminds us that even when we are faced with uncertainty and despair, we must keep moving on.


Line by Line Meaning

A kiss of the wind, then the spirits let fly to the coldness of sun
The wind's touch is fleeting as the spirits it carries soar towards the cold sun


I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!
There is no refuge or escape from what's to come


When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
As the air becomes turbulent and the earth groans in response


I've got to get back home
There is a sense of urgency to return to safety


The wind don't wait for no one, no one at all
The wind moves on relentlessly, indifferent to anyone's needs


Moves on and on and on and on and on
The wind continues to propel forward without ceasing


Look behind the window winter's come
The change of season has arrived and is visible through the window


Blood on the streets, when the black skies shout
The violent uproar of the sky creates chaos and bloodshed on the streets below


And then people cry no more
The realization of the tragedy silences even the mournful cries of those who suffer


Dreams just fade away, realities soars
Aspirations disappear while harsh truths become more pronounced


His crime is his fate can't think, can't relate illusions seized his mind
The crimes he has committed and his inability to think or empathize have imprisoned his thoughts


The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!
His own eyes may hold the answers to his past and future decisions


On and on and on and on and on
Repeating the previous sentiment of constant motion and progression


Look behind, wind is coming on
The wind is approaching, and it's a force to be reckoned with

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 etc.
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
Illusions seized His mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!
Moves on and on, etc
Look behind the Window, Winter's coming?

Michael schenker is an absolutely brilliant guitarist one of the best no doubt !!!

@MajorSecord

That outro, as played here starting around 3:53 , is one of the most melodic and lyrical pieces of rock guitar I have ever heard. Schenker's tone and execution makes this performance exceptionally tasty listening. Simon Phillips and the bass player are a solid rhythm section,as well.

@donist_id

I love this song ....... one of the best songs from MSG, i want to back to 1980 - 2000.

@johnwangermann8178

Agreed -- one of his very best. Still love it.

@MrPiccoloFan

That SOLO by Mr Schenker.
