"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

What do these closing lines of The Great Gatsby mean?

According to teh interwebz (AI something or another),

This line is a "meditation on the paradox of progress", while also serving as "a critique of the American Dream".

It utilizes the repetition of the "b" sound to create rhythm and draw emphasis... and it "brings the story to a close in a minor key".

I think some of those descriptions apply to this song too! 🚣‍♂️
