On and Ever Onward
Swimming Onward: Embracing Life's Flow with Dirty Projectors and Björk
Lyrics
If you grow up in the river
Growing up within a specific environment or circumstance
The river's all you know
Being deeply familiar only with that environment
If you're swimming in the current
Engaging or moving along with the predominant flow or direction
The current knows where you are gone
The flow knows the direction or path you're taking
Ah, the current knows where you are gone
Reinforcing the idea that the flow is aware of your journey
On and ever onward
Continual progression, moving forward without pause
Our home is all around us
Our environment encompasses and surrounds us
On and ever onward
Continual movement forward
Our love is all around us
Love surrounds us within this ongoing journey
Tempurpedic is the ocean
Comparing a comfortable mattress brand to the vastness of the ocean
Our backyard is the bay
Our immediate surroundings are like a smaller body of water
From the morning to the evening
Throughout the entire day, from start to finish
Swimming onwards through the day
Continuously progressing through the day while swimming metaphorically
Ah, swimming onwards through the day
Reiterating the ongoing movement throughout the day
On and ever onward
Continual forward movement within our surrounding environment
Our home is all around us
Our surroundings envelop and encircle us
On and ever onward
Continuous progression ahead
Our love is all around us
Love accompanies us throughout this ongoing journey
Our love is all around us
Emphasizing the omnipresence of love
Our love is all around us
Reiterating the omnipresence of love
Our love is all around us
Love is all around us, present in every aspect of our journey
