On And On
Eternal Chores of Life: John T. Wurzer's Musical Reflection
Lyrics
You never finish doing the laundry
You consistently leave the task of doing the laundry unfinished.
You never finish mowing the lawn
You consistently leave the task of mowing the lawn unfinished.
You never finish washing those dishes
You consistently leave the task of washing the dishes unfinished.
Some things go on and on
The repetition emphasizes that some things in life seem to have no end and continue indefinitely.
You're admiring the perfect wax job
You take pride in observing the flawless waxing of your car.
So proud of the man you are
You feel a sense of accomplishment in being the person you are.
Not a spot or a stain but look it's starting to rain
Despite the perfection, an external factor, rain, disrupts the pristine state, symbolizing unpredictability.
Oh no, you never finish washing your car
You never complete the task of washing your car, suggesting an ongoing cycle of maintenance.
You never finish doing the laundry
Reiteration of the unfinished laundry task, emphasizing the recurring nature of incomplete chores.
You never finish mowing the lawn
Reiteration of the unfinished lawn-mowing task, highlighting the perpetuity of some responsibilities.
You never finish washing those dishes
Reiteration of the unfinished dishwashing task, reinforcing the theme of tasks that never seem to end.
Some things go on and on
Repetition to underscore the idea that certain aspects of life are continuous and enduring.
You're looking at your life-long partner
You gaze at your lifelong partner, someone special and seemingly divine.
Some kind of angel from above
Your partner is viewed as an angelic figure, bringing a sense of purity and goodness.
A thought starts to stir and you're finally sure
A realization occurs, confirming that the experience of falling in love is perpetual and never-ending.
That you'll never finish falling in love
The certainty that the process of falling in love will continue indefinitely.
You never finish doing the laundry
Recurrence of the theme of unfinished laundry, suggesting the persistence of mundane tasks.
You never finish mowing the lawn
Recurrence of the theme of unfinished lawn-mowing, emphasizing the enduring nature of certain responsibilities.
You never finish washing those dishes
Recurrence of the theme of unfinished dishwashing, reinforcing the idea of never-ending chores.
Some things go on and on
Reiteration of the concept that some aspects of life continue indefinitely, emphasizing the perpetual nature of certain tasks.
