On And On
The Michael Schenker Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the coldness of sun
I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!
When the wind gets high and the mountains sigh
I've got to get back home the wind don't wait for
No one, no one at all
Moves on and on etc.
Blood on the streets, when the black skies shout
And then people cry no more
Dreams just fade away, realities soar
The only crime is his fate
Can't think, can't relate
Illusions seized His mind
The key to all the answers are locked in his eyes!
Moves on and on,etc
Look behind the Window, Winter's coming?
The lyrics of The Michael Schenker Group's song On And On seem to evoke feelings of loneliness, confusion, and the struggle of life. The first verse begins with a kiss of the wind, which could denote a moment of clarity or hope that is fleeting. Then it mentions the coldness of the sun, which could be perceived as a metaphor for a harsh reality. The line "I got no place to hide, nowhere to run!" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped or lost. The second line mentions the wind getting high, and the mountains sighing, which could represent the turbulence of life and the heaviness of burdens. In the end, the singer seems resigned to the fact that they must face their challenges without any hope of escape.
The second verse talks about how life can become brutal and unforgiving, and the only crime is just existing in this world. The line "Blood on the streets when the black skies shout" could symbolize violence, chaos, and the harshness of fate. The following line, "Dreams just fade away, realities soar," shows that the harshness of life can cause people to lose hope and not believe in the possibility of a better future. The line "Can't think, can't relate" demonstrates that sometimes life can be so overwhelming that even the simplest tasks become impossible. The final line, "The key to all the answers is locked in his eyes" suggests that the singer may have the answers to the questions that plague them, yet they are unable to unlock them.
