Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep on screaming but you're holding me under
I tried so hard to get it through to you
You think you're better than everyone else
Don't act so desperate
It's time to get over yourself
It's time to get yourself
It's time to get over yourself
(Time to get over yourself)
You're not worth my time
You're just so full of shit
Don't go running your mouth again
I caught you lying to them
(I caught you playing with fire)
Don't go searching for sympathy
I caught you looking at them
(I caught you playing with fire)
You'll get nothing from me
Don't act so desperate
It's time to get over yourself
Time to get yourself
And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on
And when you fall, fall away, you know
That someday I will carry on
I'll carry on
Don't go running your mouth again
(I caught you lying to them)
I caught you playing with fire
Don't go searching for sympathy
(I caught you looking at them)
I caught you playing with fire
And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on
And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on
And when you fall, fall away
You know that someday I will carry on
I'll carry on
Don't go running your mouth again
Don't go running your mouth again
The lyrics to the song Carry On by Blessthefall featuring Jake Luhrs are about a person who is being drowned out by the pessimism of someone else. This other person is holding them under and not allowing them to speak their mind. The singer has tried to get through to them, but they believe that they are better than everyone else, leaving the singer feeling frustrated and hopeless. The other person's desperation is causing them to act in a way that is unbecoming and miserable.
The singer knows that this person is not worth their time because they are full of lies and playing with fire. They don't want to hear them beg for sympathy or pretend like they are innocent. However, the song ends on a hopeful note. The singer is willing to carry on and help them when they finally reach out for help. They know that someday things will get better, and they will be there to support them. Ultimately, the song is about resilience, and the ability to keep going even when those around you are trying to bring you down.

White Washed by ABR: "Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!!!" Carry On (feat Jake Luhrs): "Don't go running your mouth again!" EPIC :O
@logansmith801
Jake Luhrs is featured on this track, that's probably why it sounds like ABR.

Jake makes this song so much more epic. I hope he comes out and sings this live when they go on tour together at the end of the year.
