Road to Nowhere
As Winter Falls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step by step she walks this world
With head held high
Like she's the only one
Smiling to the pain inside
The hope within collides

And she keeps on walking
On this road to nowhere
She keeps on singing
The same song

The monsters try to break her down
While she carries on
Will she hold on

And she keeps on walking
On this road to nowhere
She keeps on singing
The same song

The ground beneath her feet




Is slowly breaking
Will she ever find a home

Overall Meaning

"Road to Nowhere" by As Winter Falls is a deeply emotional song about perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics seem to be about a person who is walking through life, dealing with pain and hardship, but determined to keep going. The opening lines, "Step by step she walks this world, with head held high, like she's the only one" suggest that this person is strong and confident, in spite of the struggles they face. However, there is also a hint of sadness in these lines, as if the person is trying to convince themselves that they are okay, even though they are not.


As the song goes on, we see that the person is dealing with some kind of trauma, represented by the "monsters" that try to break them down. The hope within seems to be constantly colliding with the pain inside, but the person keeps walking and singing the same song. This repetition of "the same song" gives the impression that the person is trying to stay positive and focused on their goals, even though they are surrounded by darkness.


The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the line "Will she ever find a home?" This suggests that the person is still searching for something, or perhaps feels lost and disconnected from the world around them. However, the fact that they are still walking and singing shows that they are not giving up, and are willing to keep fighting to find their place in the world.
