On And On
Simplified Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's going down again, they think that they can win
What do they want from me?
Their will too blurred to see

Tonight they can't stop me I'm pushing on and on and on
They'll never keep me down

Tonight they can't touch me I'm moving on and on and on
I don't need them around

Two down more to go, they think it's all for show
All these eyes on me, why can't I be free?
Cause I know now...

Tonight they can't stop me I'm pushing on and on and on
They'll never keep me down

Tonight they can't touch me I'm moving on and on and on
I don't need them around

Their will too blurred to see

Tonight they can't stop me I'm pushing on and on and on
They'll never keep me down

Tonight they can't touch me I'm moving on and on and on
I don't need them around

Two down more to go, they think it's all for show
All these eyes on me, why can't I be free?
Cause I know now...

Tonight they can't stop me I'm pushing on and on and on
They'll never keep me down

Tonight they can't touch me I'm moving on and on and on
I don't need them around

Tonight I feel mighty I'm pushing on and on and on
Tonight they can't touch me I'm moving on and on

And on and on you know I can't stop
It's on and on they'll never keep me down





Three down more to go
I guess it's all for show

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Simplified's song "On And On" depict the artist's determination to push through obstacles and continue on their personal journey towards their goals. The song starts by placing the artist in a situation where others are trying to defeat or stop them, but they are not deterred by their opponents' efforts. The artist acknowledges that those trying to defeat them may not even be aware of what their own will is or what they truly want from the artist. Despite the doubt and opposition, the artist knows what they want and is not willing to let others dictate their path.


The second verse indicates that the artist has experienced similar situations before and overcome them, and that they will continue to do so. The phrase "Two down more to go" implies that the artist has already faced and defeated two opponents, with more to come. The artist acknowledges that there are many eyes on them, likely referring to the intense scrutiny that individuals in the public eye often face. However, the artist is determined to be free and continue to pursue their goals, despite the pressures they feel.


The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the artist's determination to keep going despite obstacles or others' attempts to "keep them down." The final verse suggests that the artist is feeling particularly empowered and unstoppable in the moment, and ends with the phrase "It's on and on they'll never keep me down," reinforcing the message that the artist is determined to keep going no matter what.

I actually have a question once you get writing in that blog white paper and decide to change story or topic how do you delete it I don't see a delete button anywhere for the work to be deleted it's great but there is always room for improvement like adding a delete button on the new document would be great

@SimplifiedAI

You can hit the back button in the upper left corner and just start a whole new document. Then delete the old document by selecting it and hitting the trash icon. Here's how to find and select documents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ysuUFM9hbU&t=1s
