What Goes On
Ephemeral Echoes: Unraveling Life's Fast Pace and Young Demise
Lyrics
One thing's for sure
There's a certainty about something
That it's still the same
Things remain unchanged
That young folk die
Youthful individuals die
For some noble aim
They perish for a noble cause
And they live so fast
They lead a fast-paced life
But they die so young
However, they pass away prematurely
And we just keep wondering
We are left questioning
What the hell went wrong
Confused about what went wrong
Yeah, they live so fast
Similar idea reiterated
But they die so young
Reiteration of premature deaths despite living fast
And we just keep wondering
Continued confusion about the situation
What goes on
Questioning the events
It's such a shame
Expressing sorrow
Such a useless shame
Describing the sorrow as useless
That they have to play
Commenting on a futile or difficult situation
Such a hopeless game
Describing a game that lacks hope
And it makes me shake
Feeling intense anger
Makes me shake with rage
Anger expressed due to wasted lives
For the wasted lives
Sense of frustration for no progress
For nothing gained
Emphasizing lives lost without achieving anything
'Cause they die so fast
Reiteration of premature deaths
And they die so young
Continued emphasis on early deaths
And we just keep wondering
Repeating the confusion about the situation
What goes on?
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing confusion
What goes on?
-What goes on?
-What goes on?
-You tell me what goes on?
-What goes on?
-What goes on?
-You got a good thing before
Referencing a positive situation in the past
You got everything to live for
Highlighting the potential in life
Ain't nothing you want to die for
No significant reason to die for
No, no, nothing at all
Emphasizing the lack of reasons for death
'Cause you live so fast
Reiteration of the contrast between living fast and dying young
But you die so young
Continued confusion about the situation
And we just keep wondering
Repetition of wondering about the situation
Wondering, wondering
