Goin' On
Endurance Beyond Night: Goin' On by The Flaming Lips Unveils the Resilience Within
Lyrics
We hold our breath 'til the morning comes
We endure a challenging situation until morning arrives.
And at last the sun shines through
Finally, the sun breaks through, bringing light.
But the night's so hard that it seems impossible
The night is difficult and feels almost insurmountable.
But what else can we do
Despite the hardships, there seems to be no alternative course of action.
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Expressing affirmation or agreement, possibly in the face of adversity.
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Reiteration of the affirmation or agreement.
Listen you'll hear it
Encouraging attention to something audible.
We're gettin' near it
We are approaching or getting closer to a significant event.
It's comin' I can feel it
The anticipation of an impending event, expressed with confidence.
'Cause I know you're goin' away
Acknowledging the departure or separation of someone.
Listen you'll hear it
Encouraging attention to something audible (repeated).
We're gettin' near it
We are getting closer to a significant event (repeated).
I know I really fear it
Expressing genuine fear or anxiety about an impending event.
But we pretend it's just another day
Pretending that the challenging situation is just another ordinary day.
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Further reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Continued affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on
Emphasizing the continuation of the affirmative sentiment.
We tell ourselves that it's all just normal
Telling ourselves that the situation is normal or typical.
'Til the worst of it is gone
Enduring until the worst part of the situation has passed.
And then you give up and you give out
Reaching a point of surrender and exhaustion.
And you just can't take it
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to endure further.
How do we keep going on?
Pondering how to continue facing the challenges.
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Continued reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Listen you'll hear it
Encouraging attention to something audible (repeated).
We're gettin' near it
We are approaching or getting closer to a significant event (repeated).
It's comin' I can feel it
The anticipation of an impending event, expressed with confidence (repeated).
'Cause I know you're goin' away
Acknowledging the departure or separation of someone (repeated).
Listen you'll hear it
Encouraging attention to something audible (repeated).
We're gettin' near it
We are getting closer to a significant event (repeated).
I know I really fear it
Expressing genuine fear or anxiety about an impending event (repeated).
But I pretend it's just another day
Pretending that the challenging situation is just another ordinary day (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Continued reiteration of affirmation or agreement (repeated).
Goin' on, uh huh, uh huh
Emphasizing the continuation of the affirmative sentiment (repeated).
Goin' on
Stating the ongoing nature of facing challenges.
We're goin' on
Confirming the perseverance and continuation despite difficulties.
