The Road I'm On
3 Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're living in between the lines
And all of the stars, they sparkle and shine every day
He said life's so hard to move in sometimes
When it feels like I'm towin' the line
And no one even cares to ask me why I feel this way, yeah
And I know you feel helpless now
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on, yeah
He said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When you keep it all between the lines
Of everything I want and I want to find one of these days, yeah
What you thought was real in life
Has somehow steered you wrong
And now you just keep drivin', tryin' to find out where you belong
And I know you feel helpless now
And I know you feel alone
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on, yeah
What you thought was real in life
Has somehow steered you wrong
And now you just keep drivin', tryin' to find out where you belong
And I know you feel helpless now
And I know you feel alone
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on, yeah
The Road I'm On by 3 Doors Down is a deeply emotional song that deals with the struggles of life and the feeling of being lost. The opening lines of the song sets the tone for the rest of the track, as the singer reflects on how life can be overwhelming and how difficult it can be to navigate. As he talks about the stars that "sparkle and shine every day," he seems to be commenting on how easy it is to get lost in the daily routine of life, and how hard it can be to find meaning and purpose.
The second stanza of the song continues this theme, as the singer talks about the feeling of being stuck in life, like he's "towing the line" and no one cares to ask how he feels. He empathizes with the listener, telling them that he knows how it feels to be alone and helpless, and that he's traveling down the same road that they are.

This song kills fear. To whomever reads this, if your feeling helpless and alone regardless, that’s the same road so many of us are on. We are not alone in this struggle we call life!

This song was played at my friends funeral when he died at only 28 years old. It was back in 2003. It was played outside by the gravesite. Everyone was crying so hard. He died from cancer. I still get chocked up every time I hear this song.
@s.g.4925
So sorry for your loss, but the man knew how to live if he listened to this band
@janetgoltz9368
Thank you. Yes he did love the group and I've always thought they are awesome! I grew up only 35 minutes from where they grew up in Mississippi so I think that's so neat. Have a nice day. :)
