Right On
Nathaniel Rateliff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stretch out your arms to see if the wind will blow you over
It seems like it's tightening, the line in the crease of your shoulder
But never in after gift of the ground
Remember the good work you done
Remember there's always some feeling, when you try to sing like
do do do da daaaa do daa
do do do da daaaa do daa
Tell me tomorrow
Softer in their eyes
Sleep in the arrow
Say that you're with me
We leave tomorrow
Sleep throught the daylight
Leave all the sorrow
It stands, to wave us and more
I am, am older right on
I march all over
This space, has a name, that you cant, put fame, to at all
do do do da daaaa do daa
do do do da daaaa do daa
It seems like the timing are complete in the mist of the measure
And the wind did'n smile then wave than forever
Well I know it's right cause
The pitch, and the purch on the lips and it love so smooth
You'll have to try and guess where it landed
I'm made be the march all over
And made be ruler all over
We're all together, right on, right on
do do do da daaaa do daa
do do do da daaaa do daa
Say you come with me
Tell me tomorrow
Softer in their eyes
Sleep in the arrow
Say that you're with me
We leave tomorrow
Sleep throught the daylight
Leave all the sorrow
mhm mhmh mhmhmh
do do doooo do doo do do
do do doooo do doo do do
do do doooo do doo do do
do do doooo do doo do do
do do doooo do doo do do
do do doooo do doo do do
The lyrics of Nathaniel Rateliff's song "Right On" appear to speak to the hard and tiring journey of life. The opening lines, "When you get tired of the wings that carry you nowhere, you stretch out your arms to see if the wind will blow you over," may suggest a desire to be carried away from life's obstacles and the realization that things aren't always as easy as they seem. The line "Remember the good work you've done" is then presented as a crucial reminder to stay motivated through the journey of life, acknowledging the hard work one has put into it.
The chorus, with its repetitive "do do do da daaaa do daa," emphasises the importance of staying together and having the support of others, which ultimately leads to becoming "older right on" in life. The final lines, "Say you come with me, tell me tomorrow, softer in their eyes, sleep in the arrow, say that you're with me, we leave tomorrow, sleep through the daylight, leave all the sorrow," may suggest the possibility of companionship and journeying together to overcome struggles.
Overall, "Right On" is a song that speaks to the human experience of surviving struggles and the importance of companionship and support on this journey.

I always loved the Mahogany version, and some years ago i tried to make some lyrics for it. Now i am seeing this lyrics in the descript but i think some parts didn't sound "right on" (hahahah) even thou it says "written by Nathaniel"
Here are the lines:
I am our only right on
(I am, am older right on)
This space has a name that you can't put a finger on
(This space, has a name, that you cant, put fame, to at all)
It seems like the timings off beat in the mist of the measure +
(It seems like the timing are complete in the mist of the measure)
And when it didn't smile and wave in farewell + [wade in 'Fair air' 'Thin air' ?]
(And the wind did'n smile then wave than forever)
Well, may be the marks i own
And may be room for more
(And made be ruler all over)
(I'm made be the march all over)
