An interpretation of the sixties song by Sonny and Cher: What's it about, I think, is the irresistible movement of time, and our place within it. Time moves us along from birth to death. Things inevitably happen in the due course of time. In time, you will be tested in various ways, in a type of trial by fire. During these trials, you will discover what you are made of. The answer may inspire you, or sadden you. The choice of how to take this knowledge is yours. If something about you needs to be improved, you can choose to improve it-- or not. You can choose to rise above that weakness, or give in to it, if that is what you are made of. In time, you will discover this truth for yourself. Life is a quest for that knowledge. Everyone must go on this quest, as time will force you into this trial, whether you wish it to or not. The beat goes on.
Sonny Bono may not have had exactly this in mind, but that is I how I will interpret it.
