Lead The Way
Carlos Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never had any doubt,
I knew that I would end up wrong and this is where I got.
An empty crowd crying out loud,
Looking kinda dumb, people staring at my crown:
I have no magic Kingdom but I own all that I touch.
I might not be your girl, but I’m everything you wanna be.
I’m daddy’s little girl with some mud on my cheek.
And I’m calling your name, I don’t know my own.
And I try to forget who I used to date.
All I want is to go, is to go away.
Wanna come?
Just lead the way, I’ll follow you everywhere.
I don’t need a reason to be your friend,
I just love the way that you make me spin, out of control, I’m outta control.
Just lead the way, I’ll follow you everywhere.
I don’t need a reason to be your friend,
I just love the way that you make me spin, out of control, I’m outta control.
Going up
And going down
I can sense the emptiness,
I can smell the sound of love.
Plan B, I´ve got my Plan B
Dont Know if you have it but I want to make you see
I´ve my Plan B
This is my Plan B
Dont Know if you have it but I want to make you see
I never had any doubt,
I knew that I would end up wrong and this is where I got.
An empty crowd crying out loud,
praying for the wrong that apparently I’ve done.
Looking kinda dumb, people staring at my crown:
I have no magic Kingdom but I own all that I touch.
I might not be your girl, but I’m everything you wanna be.
I’m daddy’s little girl with some mud on my cheek.
And I’m calling your name, I don’t know my own.
And I try to forget who I used to date.
All I want is to go, is to go away.
Wanna come?
Just lead the way, I’ll follow you everywhere.
I don’t need a reason to be your friend,
I just love the way that you make me spin, out of control, I’m outta control.
Just lead the way, I’ll follow you everywhere.
I don’t need a reason to be your friend,
I just love the way that you make me spin, out of control, I’m outta control.
Going up
And going down
I can sense the emptiness,
I can smell the sound of love.
I can smell the sound of love

The lyrics to Carlos Jean's song Lead the Way tell a story of a person who has made mistakes in the past and is looking for someone to lead them to a better future. The first line, "I can smell the sound of love," is a unique and poetic way of expressing a deep emotional connection. Despite knowing they will "end up wrong," the singer has "no magic kingdom but [owns] all that [they] touch," indicating a sense of personal power and self-assurance. They also recognize their flaws, with the line "daddy's little girl with some mud on my cheek," but are still willing to follow the person who makes them feel out of control in a positive way.
The reference to "Plan B" suggests an alternative path or backup plan if things go wrong, and the repeated line "I can sense the emptiness, I can smell the sound of love" implies a search for a meaningful connection. Overall, the lyrics convey a mix of vulnerability, strength, and a desire for positive change.
