Lyrics

Babe you’re too controlling

I’ma feed you to the wolves

When you get nasty back at me

But baby don’t distract me

I’m a goner I lost her

Like why the hell you wanna

Play me that way

You’re bad babe

You double-faced entendre

Life goes on and on and on and on and on and

On and on and on

On and on and on and on and on and

Babe you best believe it

I’ma rip you up to pieces

I’m a lover not a fighter

But I’ll light this place on fire

I want it I’m on it

But babe at least I’m honest

I get tired of explaining

As these seasons keep on changing

Yeah yeah yeah

Work all day and then I wake up

Work all day

What It Means

Looked at closely, “Life Goes On” is about the feeling captured in its very first words: “Babe you’re too controlling”. The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “On and on and on and on and on and” — until the final line “Work all day” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.

Where It Works Best

• Relaxed evening and rainy-day playlists
• Study or focus sessions
• Driving, especially at night
• Any mood that calls for an easy, emotional listen

Summary

“Life Goes On” is a well-crafted track that gets its strength from simplicity: a clear melody, a repeating hook, and lyrics that never overreach. It fits Oliver Tree’s style well and works in almost any playlist.
