Stay On These Roads
A-Ha - Greatest Hits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold.

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on thes roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know

Where join should reign
These skies restrain
"Shadow your love"
The voice trails off again

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on

We shall meet, I know
I know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stay On These Roads" by A-Ha evoke a sense of solitude and longing as the singer grapples with the cold, both literal and metaphorical. The opening lines, "The cold has a voice, It talks to me, Stillborn by choice, It airs no need, To hold," suggest a deep emotional struggle and a feeling of isolation. The cold is personified as a force that communicates with the singer, perhaps representing the harsh realities and challenges they are facing.


As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a plea for perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. The repeated refrain, "Stay on these roads, We shall meet, I know," conveys a sense of hope and determination to stay true to one's path despite the difficulties encountered. The reference to an old man feeling the cold and a plea to not give in to weakness further emphasizes the idea of staying strong and resilient in the face of challenges.


The mention of "Where join should reign, These skies restrain, 'Shadow your love,'" adds a layer of complexity to the lyrics, suggesting conflicting emotions and desires. The call to "Shadow your love" could indicate the need to protect oneself or hide one's emotions, leading to a sense of internal struggle and conflict.


Overall, the lyrics of "Stay On These Roads" reflect a deep emotional journey of resilience, hope, and perseverance in the face of adversity. The cold and loneliness symbolize the challenges and hardships faced by the singer, but the repeated plea to stay on the roads and the belief that they will eventually meet reaffirms the importance of staying true to oneself and embracing strength and love to overcome obstacles.


Line by Line Meaning

The cold has a voice
Feeling the emotional chill, there is a voice guiding me


It talks to me
That voice communicates with me


Stillborn by choice
Choosing to be stagnant or motionless


It airs no need to hold
There is no necessity to grasp onto it


Old man feels the cold
Experience brings awareness of the cold


Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told
Advice not to give in to the cold


Stay on these roads
Continue along the path of life


We shall meet, I know
We will reunite, it is certain


Where join should reign
In a place where unity should prevail


These skies restrain
The heavens hold back


"Shadow your love" The voice trails off again
Being told to follow love, but the advice fades


You feel so weak, be strong
Despite feeling vulnerable, find strength

Lyrics :

The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
And it has no need to hold
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'Cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know
Where joy should reign
These skies restrain
Shadows your love
The voice trails off again
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'Cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
I know, my love, I know
Winter's gone, I'm on my own
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We will meet, I know
So stay on, I know
Stay my love, stay on
We will meet, I know, I know
Love I know
