Carry On
Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
What we on
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
I don't need no travel buddy
I don't work with no understudy
Dark Clouds you know it's never sunny
On this day and night you know Kid Cudi
Ambush you know the jumpy
Do Rhodes/roads like my names Dusty
They on the ropes, I ain't talking bungee
Them man are clowns and they looking Kursty
I dropped 7 songs that's a Ye album
Why does my love, bring the hate out em'
Don't take it personal that's their problem
See me in person, wouldn't dare block him
"Money Moves" no red bottoms
On a move I still red dot em'
I show signs of not stopping
Fly like the Hobb Goblin
What we on
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
What we on
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
Ditch the luggage at baggage claim
They claim they real but they really ain't
I ain't never rode no coat-tail
Rather make the sales
But I aint have to take that path
I always knew how to graft
Grew trees with my
Then I put it in to rap
They say he don't know how to act
Battles like its smack
I carry on on my marathon
Watch a run a lap
Missy, get ya, get ya freaky on
Dream chase get your meek on
Blood suckers, watch em leach on
Two one on each arm
What we on
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
What we on
They told me that it can't be done
I hit ignore and carry on
I'm fly without the carry on
The song "Carry On" by Neil Young is a song that is open to interpretation. However, there are a few things that are clear. The song appears to be about moving on from a relationship that has ended. The first verse talks about waking up and realizing that someone is gone. The second verse speaks about the healing process of moving on from that relationship. The final verse appears to be a plea to a former lover to communicate with the singer and reconcile.
The opening verse of the song is heartbreaking in its simplicity. There is no anger or sadness, just a sense of acceptance that the relationship is over. When the song discusses carrying on, the meaning shifts to one of resilience and perseverance. The second verse talks about the healing process and that the night has cried enough. The singer urges the listener to "rejoice, rejoice" and that they have no choice but to carry on.
The final verse is the most enigmatic one. The line "girl, when I was on my own chasing you down" appears to be about the singer's pursuit of the listener. The line "what was it made you run?" leaves the question of why the relationship ended unanswered. The song ends with a plea to the former lover to communicate and reconcile.
Line by Line Meaning
One morning I woke up and I knew
I woke up one day and realized that you were really gone
A new day, a new way, and new eyes
With each sunrise, I try to see the world in a new way, with fresh perspective
To see the dawn
To welcome a new beginning and move on from the past
Go your way, I'll go mine and
We have to part ways and continue living our lives separately
Carry on
We have to keep moving forward and not let the pain of separation hold us back
The sky is clearing and the night
The darkness and sadness are gradually fading away, making way for a brighter future
Has cried enough
We have already experienced too much pain and sorrow
The sun, he come, the world
With the sunrise, the new day brings hope and positivity to the world
To soften up
To bring comfort and ease to our troubled hearts
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
We have to find joy and happiness in life despite the hardships and difficult circumstances
To carry on
To keep moving forward and not let the struggles of life bring us down
The fortunes of fables are able
The stories of legends and myths have the power to inspire and uplift us
To sing the song
To express our feelings and emotions through music
Now witness (oh) the quickness with which
See how quickly we move on from the pain and sorrow and find hope again
We get along
We are able to live our lives despite the challenges and hardships
To sing the blues you've got to live the dues
To truly understand and express the pain and sorrow, one has to go through it
And carry on
But we can't let the pain of the past hold us back, we have to keep moving forward
Carry on
We have to be strong and keep going, no matter how difficult it gets
Love is coming
Despite the hardships, love and hope are still present and will come to us eventually
Love is coming to us all
Everyone deserves to have love and happiness in their lives
Where are you going now my love?
I wonder where you are headed and what your plans are without me
Where will you be tomorrow?
I am unsure of where you will be in the future and how I fit into that picture
Will you bring me happiness?
I hope that you will bring me joy and positivity in life
Will you bring me sorrow?
But I am afraid that you might also bring pain and sadness into my life
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
There are so many unanswered questions and uncertainties about the future and our relationship
What you do and what you see
What you experience in life and the choices you make shape your future
Lover, can you talk to me?
I hope we can have an honest conversation about our feelings and the future of our relationship
Girl, when I was on my own
When I was alone and struggling to move on from our relationship
Chasing you down
Trying to get you back and make things right between us
What was it made you run?
I don't understand why you left me or what caused our breakup
Trying your best just to get around
You were doing what you thought was best for you and your life, even if it meant leaving me behind
The questions of a thousand dreams
There are so many uncertainties and unanswered questions that keep me up at night
What you do and what you see
The choices you make and the experiences you have shape your future
Lover, can you talk to me?
I hope we can have an honest conversation about our feelings and the future of our relationship
