עד קצה המסלול
יהודית רביץ Lyrics

"Ad Ktze Hamasul" by Yehudit Ravitz, with lyrics by Esther Shamir and music composed by Ravitz, is a poignant song that speaks to the experience of feeling lost and disconnected from oneself. The song opens with a melancholic description of finding oneself in places and situations that one does not want to be in, feeling as if too much time has passed and that the days have passed by in a blur. The smell of distant lands calls out to the singer, urging her to return to herself. She takes this as a sign to rise up and move forward.

The chorus, "Al Tamen Be'adi" (do not hold back from me) is repeated multiple times, conveying the message that despite everything that has happened, the singer does not want to be alone. She implores someone - whether it be a lover, a friend, or simply the universe - not to hold back from her but to stay by her side. The singer urges this person not to hold back until it's too late, until the plane takes off and the only thing left to do is say goodbye to all that has been left unsaid.

The second verse shifts to the people that the singer did not get close to or allow into her life. She reflects on how the moments that have passed have passed by without her and how she feels a great distance from the person she once was. The only solace she receives is from the pull of faraway places, a reminder that there is still hope for her to find her way back to herself. The song ends with the repeated line, "Ad ktze hamasul," (to the end of the road), possibly suggesting that the singer is willing to go to the end of the road to find herself once again.
