The Road
Asking Alexandria (UK) Lyrics

Street signs, so many street signs pass me by every night and
Every night, the singer sees countless street signs as they travel down the road.

I know tomorrow I won't recognize the world
The constant traveling makes it difficult for the singer to maintain a clear sense of reality and familiarity.

Home bound, but I want to be home now
Even though they are on their way home, the singer wants to be there already.

Two more months of empty faces
There are two more months of touring left, and the people in the crowd often seem to lack a meaningful connection with the artist.

Standing there screaming up at me
The crowds often yell and scream at the artist while they perform onstage.

And I don't know why
Despite the adoration from fans, the singer can't understand why they continue to feel lost and unfulfilled.

Save me, can anyone save me?
The singer is reaching out, searching for a way out of their current situation.

I don't know who I am anymore
The artist feels disconnected from their sense of self and identity.

This was supposed to be the dream
Despite the struggles and pain, the artist's music dreams were meant to be fulfilling and gratifying.

You don't see the pain in my eyes?
The artist believes that others aren't picking up on their internal pain.

You don't hear the pain in my words?
The singer believes that others aren't responding to the emotional pain conveyed in their lyrics and music.

I'm just stuck here cold and alone with no one beside me
The artist feels totally isolated and unsupported in their struggles.

And you wonder why I'm out of my mind?
Others question the singer's state of mind and emotional stability, but don't understand their struggles.

I wanna go home I wanna sleep in my own bed
The singer wants to return to a sense of familiarity and normalcy in their daily life.

I want a normal life again
The singer wants to escape the stresses and uncertainties of their touring life, and find a sense of stability.

Is this the end? Is this the end?
The artist is questioning whether they can continue their current lifestyle and situation indefinitely.

No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
Despite efforts to reconnect with their normal life, the artist feels stuck and trapped within the cycle of touring and performing.

All I know is the road
The singer's current lifestyle and situation is all they have come to know and understand.
