On and On
Yanou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You try to act happy but it's hard to pretend.
When someone questions you
It always bothers you.
Could this be a not good thing
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
The times they ain't so great
Getting all bent out of shape is just a waste of time
Everything will always be ok
As long as you let it turn out that way
And try to relax your mind.
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could learn to settle down
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
If you could look 5 years down the road
And understand now what you are going to know
Or maybe you could learn to settle down
Or maybe you could try to have a better time right now
Because no matter what, no matter what you do life goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
The first verse of Yanou's song "On and On" captures the feeling of frustration and dissatisfaction that can come with life's challenges. The line "another thing went wrong again" suggests a string of bad luck, while the desire to "act happy" but finding it "hard to pretend" suggests a sense of weariness and disillusionment. This is compounded by the fact that "when someone questions you, it always bothers you", suggesting a sensitivity to criticism and a fear of not measuring up. The overall mood suggests a sense of helplessness in the face of life's difficulties.
The chorus of the song offers a solution to this sense of frustration and desperation. The repeated refrain of "life goes on and on and on and on" suggests a sort of stoicism in the face of adversity, a recognition that no matter what happens, life will continue. This is reinforced by the lines "getting all bent out of shape is just a waste of time" and "everything will always be okay, as long as you let it turn out that way", which encourage the listener to take a more relaxed and accepting attitude towards life's ups and downs. The repeated call to "look 5 years down the road" suggests a need for perspective, for a recognition that life is a long journey and that the problems that seem so big now will eventually fade.
Overall, Yanou's "On and On" is a reflective and introspective song that offers a counterpoint to the anxieties and sorrows of everyday life. It offers a reminder that no matter what happens, life will continue, and that by accepting this fact and relaxing our minds, we can find peace and contentment.
