Keep On
Sasha Alex Sloan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started crawling in my skin
Looking for a way out
I can feel it happening
So I talk myself down
'Cause right now

The walls are starting to cave in
Sometimes, I wish I was somebody else
When my mind starts misbehaving
Is when I tell myself

Okay, baby, you'll be okay
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on
Rolling even on the bad days
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on

Every time I run away
It catches up somehow
But I've been learning what to say
So I talk myself down
'Cause right now

The walls are starting to cave in
Sometimes, I wish I was somebody else
When my mind starts misbehaving
Is when I tell myself

Okay, baby, you'll be okay
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on
Rolling even on the bad days
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on breathing
Even when your lungs have run out of air
Okay, baby you'll be okay
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on (just gotta keep on)
Keep, gotta keep on, you just gotta keep on (just gotta keep on)
Keep, gotta keep on, you just gotta keep on

The walls are starting to cave in
Sometimes, I wish I was somebody else
When my mind starts misbehaving
Is when I tell myself

Okay, baby, you'll be okay
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on
Rolling even on the bad days
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on breathing
Even when your lungs have run out of air
Okay, baby you'll be okay
You just gotta keep, gotta keep on
You just gotta keep on (just gotta keep on)




Keep, gotta keep on, you just gotta keep on (just gotta keep on)
Keep, gotta keep on, you just gotta keep on

Overall Meaning

In Sasha Alex Sloan's song "Keep On," the lyrics speak to the struggles and challenges one faces in life, particularly dealing with their own inner demons. The opening lines "Started crawling in my skin, Looking for a way out, I can feel it happening, So I talk myself down" suggest a sense of feeling trapped and overwhelmed by something within oneself. The singer acknowledges that the walls are closing in and expresses a desire to be someone else when their mind starts "misbehaving."


However, amidst these moments of desperation, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope and resilience. The repeated phrase "Okay, baby, you'll be okay, You just gotta keep, gotta keep on, You just gotta keep on" serves as a mantra to reassure oneself and push forward. It emphasizes the importance of perseverance even during the toughest times and encourages the listener to keep rolling, to keep breathing, and to keep on even when it feels impossible.


The repetition and catchy melody of the chorus reinforce the message of resilience and inner strength. It's a reminder that despite the challenges faced, there is always a way to navigate through them. While the song doesn't explicitly provide a solution or answer, it offers a sense of comfort and encouragement to keep on going, to keep pushing forward no matter how difficult the journey may be.
