Road To Nowhere
- Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the things I've done to me
I'm still looking for the answers
And I'm still searching for the key
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
The road to nowhere leads to me
Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Ah ah, the road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Ah ah, I hope we never have to say goodbye
I never want to live without you (oh yeah)
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
The road to nowhere leads to me
The road to nowhere leads to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
The road to nowhere leads to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
You got to, got to, got to lead to me
Ah, the road to nowhere
The song "Road to Nowhere" by Ozzy Osbourne is a contemplative tune that reflects on the regrets and successes of one's life. The first two verses of the song suggest that the singer is plagued by the events of their past and is continuously searching for a solution to their problems. They are looking for answers and hoping to find the key to unlock and let go of the wreckage of their past. The lyrics express the idea that the road to nowhere, which is a metaphor for life, ultimately leads to the singer. No matter what happens, the journey through life's ups and downs has brought the character to where he/she is today.
In the chorus, the lyrics become more hopeful, with the singer expressing that they would do it all again, even if the “wreckage of their past” continues to haunt them. They urge listeners to live for today and not worry about tomorrow, as the road to nowhere is never-ending, and the journey of life continues.
The last verse becomes more emotional, as the singer expresses their love and attachment to someone else. The road to nowhere is going to pass them by, but the singer hopes to never say goodbye and never wants to live without their loved one.

I m still listening to this tune since it came out (No more tears🙏record) My brother brought it home. A copy on cassette. I was a kid but I had a spiritual awakening listening to it. I remember a cloudy day. I looked at the sky darkening and listened to the final solo of Zakk. A voice went in my mind like this : 'There must be more than flesh and bones in this life".
I also suffered of drug addiction in life. About 20 years of my life.
I quit and found a new way of living.
I am a professor today and I still listen to that tune. I still get the spiritual awakening I got when I was a kid and I m very grateful. I can help other addicts today and this song never leaves me alone.
Still my favourite band (R.I.P Randy).
To all addicts: There is a way out.
All my love.
Thanks for uploading.
