Lyrics

Carry on my wayward son

Encouragement to persevere despite challenges

There'll be peace when you are done

Promise of peace after overcoming struggles

Lay your weary head to rest

Advice to find solace and relaxation

Don't you cry no more

Reassurance not to shed tears anymore


Ah

Expressive sound or interjection


Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Reflection on rising above life's chaos

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

Desire to see beyond deceptive appearances

I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Acknowledgment of reaching great heights but facing consequences


Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Awareness of visual perception without true understanding

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man

Recognition of mental capacity with lingering madness

I hear the voices when I'm dreaming

Reference to hearing voices in dreams

I can hear them say

Cryptic messages from the voices


Carry on my wayward son

Reiteration of encouragement to carry on

There'll be peace when you are done

Promise of peace upon completion of the journey

Lay your weary head to rest

Encouragement to find rest and relief

Don't you cry no more

Reiteration not to cry anymore


Masquerading as a man with a reason

Admission of pretending with a purpose

My charade is the event of the season

Recognition of personal deception as a notable event

And if I claim to be a wise man

Skepticism about claiming wisdom

Well, it surely means that I don't know

Indication that claiming wisdom may signify ignorance


On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Metaphorical journey on a turbulent emotional sea

Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean

Feeling tossed and lost in life's challenges

I set a course for winds of fortune

Setting a course for a hopeful future

But I hear the voices say

Voices persisting in providing guidance


Carry on my wayward son

Reiteration of encouragement to persevere

There'll be peace when you are done

Promise of peace upon successful completion

Lay your weary head to rest

Encouragement to find rest after the journey

Don't you cry no more no!

Strong emphasis on not crying anymore


Carry on

Simple directive to "carry on"

You will always remember

Promising lasting memories from the journey

Carry on

Reiteration of the directive to "carry on"

Nothing equals the splendor

Highlighting the unmatched beauty of the journey

Now your life's no longer empty

Assurance that life is no longer devoid of meaning

Surely heaven waits for you

Suggestion of a heavenly reward for perseverance


Carry on my wayward son

Reiteration of encouragement with a personal touch

There'll be peace when you are done

Promise of peace linked to successful completion

Lay your weary head to rest

Encouragement to find rest after the journey

Don't you cry

Emphatic instruction not to cry anymore

Don't you cry no more

Reiteration of not shedding tears anymore


No more!

Firm declaration of an end to crying
