Road To Nowhere
Applause Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again we are riding to nowhere
See the dust that is flying from your hair
Flowing around leaving, the ground

Once again we are hiding in mirrors
But our life is here and now from the shadows
The night will fall
We'll have it all

Our twisted bodies are one
No more fears but the wire under our feet
On the road to nowhere

Once again we are riding to nowhere
See the veil that is floating around your neck
Oh my baby I'm so sorry

Me and my friends on our horses made of sorrow
We are beating the ground, the ground
Opening gates of infinite space

Our twisted bodies are one
No more tears but the lakes, lakes we found out there
On the road to nowhere

Me and my friends on our horses made of sorrow
We are beating the ground, the ground
Opening gates of infinite space

Our twisted bodies are one




No more fears but the wire under our feet
On the road to nowhere
