The Way To Go
Access Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A burning hole through the floor
And the common sense is gone
A smoky room for my dreams
It's the mask you wear all day
That tares apart your faith
You come to me in fear

In this world I travel alone with
A cold blowing right through me
The desperation in this heart
not built to last

On the cutting edge of death
Afraid to take the last step
You feel the sundown in the air
Your face seems so bright
But I know your mind ain't right
The answer is right before you

You won't feel a thing
Close your eyes that's the light on this dark road
You won't feel a thing
Diving blind seems the only way to go

The hole inside your mind
Seems taken over your life
Get on your knees but don't pray
The glass holding you
Won't break if it's full
Don't turn back time just go
You need the thrill

Close your eyes




Take the step
The way to go

Line by Line Meaning

A burning hole through the floor
A visible hole in the ground that seems to be on fire


And the common sense is gone
The logical thinking ability is absent


A smoky room for my dreams
The dream world is full of haze


It's the mask you wear all day
The façade that you put on for society


That tares apart your faith
It destroys the trust you have in yourself


You come to me in fear
You approach me with anxiety


In this world I travel alone with
I traverse this planet isolated


A cold blowing right through me
The icy wind penetrates me


The desperation in this heart
The hopelessness in my core


not built to last
Not prepared to endure perpetually


On the cutting edge of death
Walking the tightrope between life and demise


Afraid to take the last step
Fear so intense it prevents progress


You feel the sundown in the air
The approaching sunset is palpable


Your face seems so bright
Your visage appears to radiate happiness


But I know your mind ain't right
However, inwardly, you're not in a sound state of mind


The answer is right before you
The solution is in your immediate vicinity


You won't feel a thing
There will be no sensation


Close your eyes that's the light on this dark road
Shut your eyes; it will illuminate this shadowy path


Diving blind seems the only way to go
Jumping in blindly appears to be the only viable option


The hole inside your mind
The emptiness in your psyche


Seems taken over your life
Seems to have consumed your existence


Get on your knees but don't pray
Kneel down, but don't beseech a divine being


The glass holding you
The limitations restraining you


Won't break if it's full
Remains unbroken if it is containing something


Don't turn back time just go
Don't revisit the past; press on


You need the thrill
You require the excitement


Close your eyes
Shut your eyes


Take the step
Initiate the move


The way to go
The path to take
