Road to Happiness
Cam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be careful who you hang around
Beliefs are sticky things
Stick on your shoes and on your soul
Rearrange your dreams
Get so good at climbin' you stop askin' where it leads
On this road to happiness

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
It's the wild unknown
It's a ball-and-chain
It's a no-end destination
We keep drivin' anyway
Is the future that we're chasin'
Worth the right-nows that we miss
On this road to happiness?

I'm takin' time to ask myself
Just where I wanna be
Does the flower growin' in the ground
Worry just like me
Or does he love the sun so much
That he don't mind the weeds
On this road to happiness?

It's the wild unknown
It's a ball-and-chain
It's a no end destination
We keep drivin' anyway
Is the future that we're chasin'
Worth the right-nows that we miss
On this road to happiness?

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah yea yea

Be careful who you hang around
Beliefs are sticky things

It's the wild unknown
It's a ball-and-chain
It's a no end destination
We keep drivin' anyway
Is the future that we're chasin'
Worth the right-nows that we miss




On this road to happiness?

Overall Meaning

In Cam's song "Road to Happiness," she reminds us to be mindful of who we surround ourselves with and the beliefs we adopt. She suggests that beliefs can stick to our shoes and on our soul, which can impact and change our dreams. As we move forward, Cam reflects on the unknowns of chasing our future goals and desires. She questions if the sacrifices we make in the present moment are worth the eventual payoffs we hope to achieve. Cam recognizes that life is uncompromising, and it can feel like a ball-and-chain tethering us to a destination without an end in sight. Nonetheless, she encourages her listeners to keep driving, even though the road to happiness is an ever-changing journey.


Through introspection, Cam ponders on the beauty of the journey and the unknowns that come with it. She compares herself to a flower in the ground and wonders if it has the same worries and anxiety she faces. Ultimately, she questions if the flower loves the sun so much that the inconvenience of the weeds becomes trivial. This song reminds us of the importance of reflecting on our journey to happiness and how our beliefs and relationships impact it.

Despite the hardships and uncertainties, we continue on our journey towards happiness, motivated by the hope of what lies ahead.


Is the future that we're chasin'
We often focus on the future, envisioning a version of ourselves that is happier, wiser, or more successful, hoping that it will bring us closer to the happiness we seek.

Nature can offer us guidance and inspiration, reminding us that happiness can be found in the simplest things, such as the beauty of a flower or the warmth of the sun.


Worry just like me
Even though we may have different forms of existence, all living beings face fear and uncertainty, and we can find comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles.


Or does he love the sun so much
Nature teaches us to appreciate and be grateful for the present moment, to find joy in the little things, and to embrace life's uncertainties with an open heart and mind.


That he don't mind the weeds
Just like a flower can grow amidst the weeds, we too can learn to navigate life's challenges and difficulties, finding hope and beauty even in the midst of chaos or adversity.


On this road to happiness?
Ultimately, the road to happiness is one that is unique to each of us, and we must define what happiness means to us and create a path that aligns with our own inner selves and values.
