Life Goes On
Echo And The Bunnymen · Flowers [2001]
How do you stop yourself from
Falling apart and going under?
Lost in a world that's got your
Name tag, name tagged and your number
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you
When does it start to fade and
When do the roads start leading nowhere?
When all your prayers have been prayed
That's when you know your dream is over
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you, behind you
One of these days I'm gonna
Do as I say and do it my way
I'm gonna grow those wings
And learn to fly and hit the sky away
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you, behind you
Behind you, behind you
Behind you, behind you
...
Falling apart and going under?
Lost in a world that's got your
Name tag, name tagged and your number
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you
When does it start to fade and
When do the roads start leading nowhere?
When all your prayers have been prayed
That's when you know your dream is over
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you, behind you
One of these days I'm gonna
Do as I say and do it my way
I'm gonna grow those wings
And learn to fly and hit the sky away
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
One by one, they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you, behind you
Behind you, behind you
Behind you, behind you

Life Goes On - Echo And The Bunnymen
Echo And The Bunnymen's 'Life Goes On' stands as a defining track from their 2001 album 'Flowers,' capturing the band's signature blend of shoegaze and post-punk. The song features the group's characteristic layered guitars and emotive vocals, delivering a melancholic yet resilient atmosphere that resonates with themes of endurance. Released during a period of significant artistic evolution for the Manchester-based quartet, the recording exemplifies their ability to merge atmospheric textures with driving rhythms. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited by fans and critics alike as a prime example of their late-period sound, which balanced raw energy with introspective lyricism.
