Long Road To Hell
Avicii - www.Webmusic.IN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are in the place where you grew up
Where you spent so much time
Where you plotted out your life
These next few lines are a series of events.
About my family and friends.
That kept me further from the edge!
So when the day comes, that they put m in the ground.
All the ones who claimed they loved me, will gather around.
They'll throw flowers down.
And tears will come running down their face.
As they say goodbye and say that I've gone to a better place.
This is where your vision starts, where your vision starts to blur.
Have you ever thought of giving up on what you love the most.
Did you forget, about the ones that you would hurt.
Just a few more seconds, then the pain will be gone.
Just hold on, go ahead let go!
It's not your time, your time is up!
There is so much more (you should end it here!)
You've got your whole life in front of you.
You've got nothing to live for! There's a reason to live.
So pick up that knife! You just can't give up.
Put it through your chest.
Please end it! Please end it all!
It's on the tips of our tongues.
Help me, hear me, leave me, forgive me.
If I fall, I'll be the one left to lie alone, in this mess.
And I know that if you end your life.
I will be joining you shortly!
You say you need a greater purpose.
I say you need to see what's coming.
When you know that the feeling is gone...




You'll see this through my eyes and feel alive again!
The road to hell is paved with good intentions! x2

Overall Meaning

The song "Long Road To Hell" by Avicii is a complex composition that touches upon the themes of self-doubt, life, and death. The first verse is addressed to someone who is visiting the place where they grew up, where they spent a lot of time, and where they planned their future. The next few lines reflect on family and friends who have helped to keep the person calm when they were on edge. The second verse alludes to a person contemplating suicide and the voice of reason urging them not to let go. The lyrics are essentially a conversation between two people – one struggling with life and the other trying to help.


The following verse talks about suicide and the impact it would have on those who love the person. It suggests that choosing to end life is not the solution and that there is more to live for. The chorus talks about the "road to hell" being "paved with good intentions," implying that sometimes, we may unknowingly choose destructive paths, even when our intentions are pure. In the final moments of the song, the person struggling with life is shown a way to see things in a new light, "You'll see this through my eyes and feel alive again!"


Overall, "Long Road To Hell" by Avicii is a poetic and introspective song that explores difficult themes in a nuanced way. It invites the listener to reflect on their experiences and recognize that there is always hope even in the darkest of moments.
