Souleye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter if it′s saved or never was recorded
All aboard the mother ship Impulse so important
A soldier takes notice to their orders or aborts them
Suppress your anger for awhile see what happens
Pain or passion rewire poverty to fullness
Once done consider it new fresh
Walk up the street with a bounce in my step
Feel the energy of eagles
I am an animal inside of this wonderful world
Took a cup shook it up
To stimulate the sediment
Never settling for less then the best
To paint a picture of a blue sky family crest
Victimized cry wolf, hide and seek
As the sky is falling
Stars lasting longer then they have in the past
I fall asleep wake up teacher sleeping in class
And if the apple's gone rotten
There are more out in the orchard
Scarecrows following each through the courses
And fertilizer′s good for the earth see she's fertile
Thankful for the daily rebirth a new borne attitude
So on and on I keep on going
Dreaming, thinking, believing, knowing
And on and on I keep on growing
Standing awaken born in the moment
And on and on I keep on going
Dreaming, thinking, believing, knowing
And on and on I keep on growing
Standing awaken born in the moment
Who's that knock knocking on your door
Open up the window
Calling up the kin folk
Climbing up the ladder I can hear the pitter patter
Playing in the puddle outside with the masses
A whole school of fish swimming With intelligence
Enough to keep the circle together
I′m skipping rocks across the water
Land marks mechanical
My chemical make up
Be that of Jacobs ladder I′m not afraid to call it back
Swing batter rush the Heavily gates
Saw a picture in the sky before it was written
You talking Dna a UFO conspiracy
I dig my fingers underneath the ground
Work to see what I can find
And through this lens
I'm steady and ready to move along
What once was, always is
But some times seems gone
Dialogue at the corner stone with the colony
Enough sun vitamin light provide clarity
I am a magnet to life yes the chain reaction
A tiger in the wilderness
A full experience
Provide pressure to the accurate points
The infinite choice to choose that′s what I enjoy
So on and on I keep on going
Dreaming, thinking, believing, knowing
And on and on I keep on growing
Standing awaken born in the moment
And on and on I keep on going
Dreaming, thinking, believing, knowing
And on and on I keep on growing
Standing awaken born in the moment
In Souleye's song "On & On" the lyrics delve into themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and the ability to adapt in a ever-changing world. The song starts off with the realization that one's vision may not always be clear, but that it doesn't matter whether it's distorted, recorded, or not. The metaphor of the "mother ship Impulse" represents the idea of taking control and being responsible for one's actions. The line "Suppress your anger for awhile see what happens" emphasizes the importance of self-control and the idea that emotions can be rewired towards growth and fullness.
Souleye later describes himself as an "animal inside of this wonderful world" which highlights his desire to connect with nature and find balance within himself. He also mentions the importance of staying optimistic and not settling for less than the best. The line "if the apple's gone rotten, there are more out in the orchard" conveys the idea that there's always another opportunity waiting if one fails or loses something. In the second verse, Souleye introduces the metaphor of "skipping rocks across the water" to represent the ongoing journey of self-discovery. He constantly seeks to learn and grow, and is not afraid to dig deeper to uncover the truth. The end of the song encapsulates Souleye's message of living in the moment and embracing life despite its challenges.
