On and On
Embracing Change: Les Shirley's On and On Unveils the Journey of Resilience
Lyrics
Has it snowed yet over Cape Side?
Reference to a location (Cape Side) and inquiry about weather conditions.
How are you doing?
General inquiry about the listener's well-being.
Haven't spoken for a while now
Noted lack of communication over a period.
You know you can let it out
Encouragement to express emotions freely.
Even if it's hard to try, oh
Encouraging resilience in facing difficulties.
I heard your life has turned upside down
Awareness of a significant negative change in the listener's life.
How are you dealing?
Inquiry about how the listener is coping with the mentioned life change.
Is your mama doing better?
Specific inquiry about the listener's mother and her well-being.
You don't have to be alone
Assurance that the listener is not alone in their struggles.
You will learn it as you grow old
Life lessons are learned with age.
On and on it breaks your bones...
Repetition of a phrase indicating persistent challenges or hardships.
Tell me you will let it out
Request to open up emotionally.
Even if it's hard to cry, oh
Encouragement to express emotions even if it's difficult.
Those friends of yours, they treat you alright?
Inquiry about the quality of the listener's friendships.
Tell me everything
Request for full disclosure of the listener's feelings.
Those feelings you've been hiding...
Acknowledgment of concealed emotions.
You don't have to break apart
Reassurance that the listener doesn't have to fall apart.
Understand it's not your fault, no
Acknowledgment that certain circumstances are not the listener's fault.
Something's changing can't deny it
Acknowledgment of an undeniable change in the listener's life.
Why are you lying?
Questioning the honesty of the listener's statements.
It's always on your mind
Indication that a particular issue is frequently on the listener's mind.
Just give in
Suggestion to surrender or accept the situation.
Promise it'll be just fine
Promising that everything will be fine.
Breathe and you'll be alive, oh
Encouragement to take a moment to breathe and find life.
On and on it breaks your bones...
Repetition of the phrase indicating persistent challenges or hardships.
