And the Beat Goes On
Watcha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That to win, somebody's got to lose
I might as well get over the blues
Just like fishing in the ocean
There'll always be someone new
You did me wrong 'cos I've been through stormy weather.
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on you'd better believe it
Still moving strong on and on
Don't stop for nobody
This time I'll keep my feet on solid ground
Now I understand myself when I'm down
Like the sweet sound of hip music
There'll always be something new
To keep the tables turning
Hey this super song
There'll never be an ending
And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on (the beat goes on) on, ...
Get down playing that fee, sure the beat is real
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on, ...
In this song, Watcha discusses the idea that winning often comes at the expense of someone losing, and that it's important to move on from the negative feelings that can come with that reality. The metaphor of fishing in the ocean is used to emphasize that there will always be new opportunities and people to experience in life. The lyrics acknowledge that there have been difficult times in Watcha's life (stormy weather), but that the beat of life goes on regardless of those challenges.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of perseverance and resilience, likening the beat of life to everlasting love. Watcha emphasizes that he will not stop moving forward, and that there will always be something new to keep things interesting.
