The Longest Road
Avicii vs. Morgan Page and Lissie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll go so far as we please
Giddy up and gold mine
Different place, different time
All the stars are in their prime
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard
Giddy up and gold dust, all the cars turn to rust
You've got no means for wanderlust
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard
If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there
Giddy up and gold mine, horse dust down time
Its my life, its my time, we've been gettin' nowhere
Gold mine, different place, different time
Hold me down, Hold me down
Hope will be found, Follow me
If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and your just left there
They're waiting for it, you're waiting for it
And you're waving in it, and you're craving in it
If you fill my cup with all you must
To speak from something
If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and your just left there
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and your just left there.
The lyrics of Avicii Vs. Morgan Page and Lissie's song "The Longest Road" describe the feeling of being lost and disconnected in life. The opening line "Giddy up and go" suggests a willingness to escape and explore, but the subsequent line "We'll go so far as we please" suggests that there is no clear destination or purpose for this journey. The use of "gold mine" and "gold dust" throughout the song suggests a search for something valuable or meaningful, yet the characters seem to be stuck in a "pastel trailer park" with no means of escape. The reference to "all the stars" being in their prime further emphasizes the feeling of being lost and disconnected from the beauty of the world around them.
The chorus highlights the frustration and disappointment of feeling constantly overlooked in a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "If you are so frequently in love, If you prefer it all to me then my love" suggests a pattern of being undervalued and underappreciated. The line "You go down the longest road to nowhere, You pull it apart and you're just left there" highlights the feeling of being alone and without purpose.
The final section of the song suggests a glimmer of hope and possibility when the character asks someone to "Fill my cup with all you must, To speak from something." Despite the song's overall theme of feeling lost and disconnected, it ends with a suggestion that there is still something worth fighting for and exploring.

Giddy up and go
Let's get moving and explore the world
We'll go so far as we please
We will travel as far and wide as we desire
Giddy up and gold mine
Let's embark on a journey to find riches and fortune
Different place, different time
We will venture to new locations in different time periods
All the stars are in their prime
The stars shine bright and are at their best in the night sky
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
The brightly lit trailer park offers a contrast to the darkness that surrounds us
All is quiet in the yard

You go down the longest road to nowhere
You are on a journey that leads to nowhere and leaves you feeling empty
You pull it apart and you're just left there
You dismantle your life and are left feeling lost and alone
Gold mine, different place, different time
There are riches to be found in new and different places and times
Hold me down, Hold me down, Hope will be found, Follow me
Be grounded and stay hopeful, I will lead the way to better days
They're waiting for it, you're waiting for it
Others are waiting for something to happen, just like you
And you're waving in it, and you're craving in it
You are excited about the prospect and can hardly wait
If you fill my cup with all you must, To speak from something
If you give everything you have, your words will come from a place of sincerity and substance
You pull it apart and your just left there
If you dismantle your life, you will be left feeling lost and alone
You go down the longest road to nowhere
Following a path that doesn't lead anywhere
You pull it apart and your just left there
Disassembling your life, feeling lost and alone
