Life Goes On
T.O. Joker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to be quite content with your shower cap
I guess now I know you feel more at home
With a case of Handi-Wrap

You'd hold your own if you thought that it was clean
At least give me some gloves to wear
Or a picture of St. Augustine
If I were to die with these things on, can't say I didn't try

I'd think that you would try to find something to do
With my old school tie
That doesn't turn my skin blue

Is it hot in here, or do I feel a little draft
From these pants that you brought for me to wear
The ones that have no back

If I were to die with these things on, you might want to try
Another size

I'd take your name, if I thought it'd do me good
If it's all the same to you
I'll just take a look under your hood

If you were to die with this thing on
You coulda chose a better style

And now that you've gone off
And all of this has passed
I don't recall your face no more
But you left behind your mask





If I were to die with these things gone
I'd be frozen with a smile

Overall Meaning

In T.O. Joker's song "Life Goes On," the artist muses on the strange and sometimes comical aspects of life, love, and death. The singer speaks to a lover who seems to have eccentricities that he cannot understand, such as feeling more comfortable in a shower cap or clothing with no back. He speaks of the inevitability of death and how we often focus on the superficial things, such as what someone is wearing, even in moments of tragedy.


The lyrics also touch on the concept of memory and how our impressions of others can be fleeting. As the singer says, "I don't recall your face no more / But you left behind your mask." It shows how the things we leave behind can be more telling than the things we do in life. Ultimately, the song suggests that life goes on, regardless of how ridiculous or strange our behaviors or obsessions may seem, and that we should cherish the moments we have while we have them.

Is it hot in here, or do I feel a little draft, From these pants that you brought for me to wear, The ones that have no back
I wonder if I am feeling uncomfortable due to the absence of a back in these pants you gave me to wear, or is it just the warmth inside.

If I died with these clothes on, you may finally realize that they didn't fit me well and that a different size would have been more appropriate.

With you gone and the memories fading, I don't remember your visage but your true self is revealed through the mask you used to hide behind.


If I were to die with these things gone, I'd be frozen with a smile
If I died without the burden of the uncomfortable clothes and situations, I would be at peace and die with a pleasant disposition.
