Road to Nowhere
✔Bullet For My Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tired and lonely still we stand,
On a road to nowhere.
Trapped in a world of endless days, my engine's stalling.
(Road to nowhere)
Body and mind are breaking down,
On a road to nowhere.
Destiny silent, hear no sound, as I wait forever.
Farewell, I miss you
I'm sick of these good byes
Cause it tore us apart, right from the start
I miss you.

Feelings that filled me left me cold
On this road to nowhere
(Road to Nowhere)
Dreams are my saviors, save me now, cause I know I'm fallin'
(Oh yeah)

Farewell, I miss you
I'm sick of these good byes
Cause it tore us apart, right from the start
I miss you.

Candles burn slowly, flames shine so brightly.
Light in the darkness, save me from madness again.

Only the lonely, can possibly know me.
Heat keeps on rising, fire engulfs me again.
Keeps on rising.

Farewell, I miss you
I'm sick of these good byes
Cause it tore us apart, right from the start
I miss you.

Farewell, I miss you
I'm sick of these good byes




Cause it tore us apart, right from the start
I miss you.

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know
We're on a road to paradise
Here we go, here we go
We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby it's all right
Would you like to come along?
And you could help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby it's all right
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby it's all right
Would you like to come along?
You could help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby it's all right
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

When your existential crisis is having an existential crisis, you know you are listening to a David Byrne song.

I particularly like the sequence of Chris and Tina meeting, dancing, getting married, having a child, watching the child grow up, turning old and grey and still being in love like crazy birds -- because that's EXACTLY how they turned out!

I read Chris Frantz's book last year and it is very sweet how crazy he is still about Tina
