Go On: Encouragment and Perseverance

It’s easy to slip into routine and complacency, but there comes a time when discontent grows too loud to ignore. “Go On” a track of self-realization and renewal, encourages you to break free from conformity and embrace the authenticity of existence.

With the opening chords we’re drawn into a narrative of introspection and defiance. Once content to sleepwalk through life, now at a crossroads, grappling with the realization that existence has been built upon a foundation of falsehoods and pretense. Yet, amidst the turmoil of awakening, there’s a glimmer of hope—a sense of liberation that comes with shedding layers of deception and embracing the truth, no matter how harsh it may be.

“It was kind of nice for a while To sleepwalk through life Enter a world of fake smiles Then come home late at night”

These opening lines set the stage for a journey of self-discovery and resilience.

We acknowledge the allure of illusion, the comfort of conformity, but ultimately we need confront the futility of living a life built upon lies. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever felt trapped within the confines of societal expectations, yearning for something more but unsure of where to begin.

Yet, as the chorus erupts with defiant determination, a newfound sense of empowerment emerges:

“Well I go on It feels so good right now I’m finally free There’s nothing holding me back Except for me”

Here, amidst the driving rhythm and vocals, lies the heart of “Go On.”

It’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to be confined by the expectations of others, who dare to challenge the status quo and carve their own path forward. It’s a reminder that true freedom comes not from external circumstances, but from the courage to confront our inner demons and embrace the fullness our humanity.

Throughout the song, there’s a sense of catharsis—a release of pent-up emotions and a shedding of old skin. Acknowledging the losses incurred along the way, the friendships strained or severed in the pursuit of truth. Yet, amidst the wreckage, there’s a sense of gratitude for those who’ve played a role in their awakening:

“Thank you for waking me I can’t say enough It’s time to fight again The real world—can get rough”

These words serve as a testament to the transformative power of adversity, the crucible through which resilience is forged and character is tested. It’s a recognition that true growth often arises from the ashes of our past selves, as we emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before.

As the song draws to a close, there’s a sense of closure—a final reckoning with the ghosts of the past and a bold declaration of newfound purpose:

“I was going through the motions I finally know it now Brushing off the dust from my jacket Turn my back on what I’ve known”

In these lines, we find the essence of “Go On”—a testament to the power of self-awareness and the courage to embrace change. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there lies the seed of transformation, waiting to be nurtured and cultivated into something beautiful.

In the end, “Go On” represents hope for anyone who’s ever felt lost or disillusioned, a reminder that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there’s always a light waiting to guide us home. So let us heed its call, embrace our awakening, and step boldly into the unknown, for it’s only in the journey of self-discovery that we truly find ourselves.

Go On Lyrics

130 BPM | C Major

it was kind of nice for a while

to sleepwalk through life

enter a world of fake smiles

then come home late at night

i’ve got to be honest here

it was ok for a time

but how long can you go on

living all those fucking lies

well i go on

it feels so good right now

i’m finally free  

there’s nothing holding me back

except for me

it felt so predictable, its the end of the line

i’m getting outside

breaking out of a kind of hell 

that was never mine

i think it ended well

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough

well i go on

i lost good people along the way

but here i stand

scraping off the shit ive stepped in

i hope you understand

life goes on

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough 

was asleep half the time

and now im awake

a pleasant afterthought

to ignoring all the pain

i was going thru the motions

i finally know it now

brushing off the dust from my jacket

turn my back on what i’ve known

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough
