"On and On and On" adalah sebuah lagu yang membangkitkan pemikiran yang ditulis dan dibawakan oleh Jack White. Liriknya yang puitis menggugah pertanyaan tentang perubahan, identitas, dan pencarian makna hidup. Lagu ini mengeksplorasi ketegangan antara siklus kosmik yang abadi dan perjalanan pribadi yang berubah-ubah. Melalui metafora yang hidup dan intropeksi yang mendalam, White merenungkan ketidakpastian keberadaan, perlawanan masyarakat terhadap pertumbuhan individu, dan pencarian makna yang melampaui keadaan kita saat ini.
On and On and On Lyrics
Jack White
The sun and the moon never change
They just rearrange, but not in the new day
Gold exchanges for silver
And a light on the river gets carried away
Explain
[Hook:]
On and on, on and on
On and on, on and on
I lift up my head and I wonder
Just who it is calling, calling my name now
I trip on my way and I blunder
My head hiding under a blanket of shame
[Hook]
High and low may I go
Where God only knows just where I am going
High and low may I go
But God only knows just where I am going
The people around me won't let me
Become what I need to, they want me the same
I look at myself and I want to
Just cover my eyes and give myself a new name
The stones in the sky never worry
They don't have to hurry, they move in their own way
But I have to choose what to do
How to act, what to think, how to talk, what to say
[Hook x3]
They just rearrange, but not in the new day
Gold exchanges for silver
And a light on the river gets carried away
Explain
[Hook:]
On and on, on and on
On and on, on and on
I lift up my head and I wonder
Just who it is calling, calling my name now
I trip on my way and I blunder
My head hiding under a blanket of shame
[Hook]
High and low may I go
Where God only knows just where I am going
High and low may I go
But God only knows just where I am going
The people around me won't let me
Become what I need to, they want me the same
I look at myself and I want to
Just cover my eyes and give myself a new name
The stones in the sky never worry
They don't have to hurry, they move in their own way
But I have to choose what to do
How to act, what to think, how to talk, what to say
[Hook x3]
