Life Will Go On
Whippersnapper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking; life will go on
I know how it feels when you think you're the only one
No fuel for the engine
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
A flag at full staff
You won't admit defeat
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
High overhead to the sun rising in the sky
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking
The lyrics of "Life Will Go On" by Whippersnapper address the struggles and challenges of life in a world where even basic necessities like fuel and food can be scarce. The opening line, "No fuel for the engine, no meal for the hungry mouth," sets the tone for the rest of the song, painting a bleak picture of scarcity and survival. The line "They say that clothes make the man, and you are made into a funeral shroud" speaks to the idea that circumstances and societal expectations can define us and limit our potential.
Despite these challenges, the song encourages listeners to maintain a sense of defiance and hope. The call to action, "Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing," is a rallying cry to fight against adversity and hold onto what makes life worth living. The repeated phrase "Keep fighting, keep thinking; life will go on" reinforces this message of resilience in the face of hardship. The song's final lines emphasize the importance of questioning the world around us, as "the reason to live is the reason to question why."
Overall, "Life Will Go On" captures the struggle and hope of life's ups and downs, encouraging listeners to keep pushing forward in pursuit of a better tomorrow.
