Carry On
2020
This song has helped me through a lot. It has taught me
that we should always keep going on and giving it our all
because in the end, we will be ok. Although it did have
meaning for me throughout the whole time I’ve been in high
school, I think it has the most meaning now, during the
pandemic. This song has the most meaning now because it
applies not only to me, but to the whole world. Right now,
everyone is going through their own struggles and trials, and
this song reminds us that we must “carry on” with our lives.
The lyrics that hit me hardest from this song are, “Woah my
head is on fire/ But my legs are fine/ After all they are mine”.
What these lyrics mean for me is that even though we have a
million things going on in our head (my head is on fire), we are
fine and can keep going because ultimately we have what
matters most (my legs are fine/after all they are mine).
