Goin' On Lyrics
We hold our breath until the morning comes
And at last the sun shines through
But the night's so hard that it seems impossible
But what else can we do?
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Listen, you'll hear it
We're getting near it
It's coming, I can feel it
Because I know you're going away
Listen, you'll hear it
We're getting near it
I know I really fear it
But we pretend it's just another day
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
We tell ourselves it's all just normal
Until the worst of it is gone
And then you give up, and you give out, and you just can't take it
How do we keep goin' on?
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Listen, you'll hear it (goin' away)
We're getting near it (goin' away)
It's coming, I can feel it (goin' away)
Because I know you're going away
Listen, you'll hear it (another day)
We're getting near it (another day)
I know I really fear it (another day)
But I pretend it's just another day
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
We're goin' on
And at last the sun shines through
But the night's so hard that it seems impossible
But what else can we do?
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
We're getting near it
It's coming, I can feel it
Because I know you're going away
We're getting near it
I know I really fear it
But we pretend it's just another day
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Until the worst of it is gone
And then you give up, and you give out, and you just can't take it
How do we keep goin' on?
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
We're getting near it (goin' away)
It's coming, I can feel it (goin' away)
Because I know you're going away
We're getting near it (another day)
I know I really fear it (another day)
But I pretend it's just another day
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Goin' on

It's about how everyone fears the end is coming and yet somehow the world keeps turning.
Yeah, pretty much. Great song, one of my favorites from the new album.
we are not "ending" as a person, or as a being, but we are "goin on". death is just a doorway, but deep down, all of us, Wayne, we are afraid of it, but it's ok, right?
I love it too. This and Pompe am Gotterdammerung make the end the best part.
I think it's about creating a routine with our life. we live the same way everyday even though we don't want to. We fear it but what else can we do? we just keep goin on...
great song, one of the best in the album
this is a beautiful song.
to me this is a song about the end of all that worries and hinders us. it's about hope. i think it's a song about humanitarian endurance. it's about listening to the still small voice inside of you.
beautiful
some sort of ode to life hope versus pain and grieving
one of the most beautiful song ever. nothing less :)
