On And On
Stina Wollter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's in heaven, in the skies
Loving her is peek on pie
A deeper darker, stronger now
On and on, on and on
Dancing like a waterfall
On and on, on and on
Don't hold on now, let her go
She'll be closer than we know
On the wind and in the snow
With a distance, this love broke
On and on, on and on
Dancing like a waterfall
On and on, on and on
Singing in the sky
And all the things I promised
I would and wouldn't do
And all the things you missed out
I promise, I'll do them to
Let's be quiet, but not so sad
Let's live the life she should have had
Let's not cry, she said to smile
In her place, we'll go for miles
On and on, on and on
Dancing like a waterfall
On and on, on and on
Singing in the sky
On and on, on and on
Dancing like a waterfall
On and on, on and on
Singing in the sky
The lyrics of Stina Wollter's song "On and On" convey a message of letting go and moving forward. The song is about the loss of a loved one who has passed away and how to cope with that loss. In the first verse, Stina encourages someone to stop crying and accept that the person they loved is now in heaven. She likens their love to a "peek on pie", which means a small, but delightful pleasure. But now, it has become "deeper darker, stronger" due to the loss.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "On and on" to emphasize the continuation of life and the world moving forward. Dancing like a waterfall and singing in the sky are images of joy and beauty that represent the idea of celebrating life and the memories of the person who has passed away. Stina suggests that the person should not hold onto the pain of loss but to release the loved one and let them go. Even though the loved one is gone, they are still close by on the wind and in the snow.
In the last verse of the song, Stina makes a promise to the person who has passed away that she will do all the things she promised and didn't promise to do. She encourages everyone to live life to the fullest, to not be sad, and to remember the person with a smile. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that life goes on even in the face of loss.
