Mummy what’s a DARK HORSE?

One thing we know is that it begins with the source...LISA ELLE the exterminating angel, the Swedish sonic siren...How many sailors will deliriously drown mistaking her voice for safe harbour?

On her nocturnal dérive’s along the shores of Seagull City, SHE finds such like; FIVE drowned LEATHER boys, shivering under the pier. Nourishing them with spells and drones and words and melody’s, she names them DARK HORSES.

Next thing we know DARK HORSES are snowed up in Chicago’s KeyClub studio’s sharing beds with THE KILLS. In the control room at SLY STONE’s mixing desk proffer’s the mighty Richard FEARLESS (Death In Vegas / Black Acid), recording their debut long player, in the vocal booth KASABIAN’s Tom Meighan adds vocals.

The few who’ve heard this record ‘hate BLUES’ (working title) have said:

‘Unaware of their significance, the ‘HORSES high-lonesome sound is psychedelic soul to live not die for.’

‘A communion of Siouxsie Sioux and Grace Slick is Lisa Elle’

‘An indelible statement on loneliness and spiritual thirst.’

‘DARK HORSES make mysterious, open-ended songs that tap into spiritual realms and become occasions for our individual meditation.’

Little did KASABIAN’s Serge Pizzorno KNOW that when he pressed PLAY on his Cape Town tour bus cd player to first listen to DARK HORSES that before the song was over he would be surrounded by two armed response team’s, pushing revolver’s in his face demanding him to stop this ‘disturbing and unholy clamour’...

Next thing we know DARK HORSES are opening for KASABIAN on their current UK tour, including shows at Brixton’s Academy and Wembley arena.

Its reasonable to suppose that next year SPRING will bring the ‘HORSES long player and a tour of the nation.

DARK HORSES believe that the lighting is within you, let it travel up your spine.

Now we know?

There are zones of the story yet to be revealed.

Road to Nowhere
Dark Horses Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere

Overall Meaning

"Road to Nowhere" is a song by the American rock band, Talking Heads, which was covered by Dark Horses, a British rock band. The song reflects on the journey of life, and how we often find ourselves in a state of confusion and uncertainty. The starting lines, "Well, we know where we're going, but we don't know where we've been," suggest that we have a clear goal in life, but we're not sure of the path we took to get there. It further highlights that sometimes we're unaware of the things we have seen or experienced, yet we claim to know what we're doing.

The song's chorus repeats the phrase "We're on a road to nowhere," emphasizing the futility of life, and the feeling that, as much as we plan and work hard, we're not guaranteed success or satisfaction. However, the singer goes on to say, "Maybe you wonder where you are, I don't care, here is where time is on our side, take you there, take you there." This line suggests that it doesn't matter where we are in life, as long as we're moving forward and progressing towards our goals.

The verse, "There's a city in my mind, come along and take that ride," is a metaphor for the journey of life. The singer invites the listener to join them on their journey, which may be confusing and difficult, but ultimately worth it. The song encourages listeners to enjoy the journey, even if they don't know where it may lead.

And it's very far away
Our ultimate destination is a distant goal.

But it's growing day by day
We're making progress, slowly but surely.

They can tell you what to do
Others may try to influence and control you.

But they'll make a fool of you
Their advice may lead you down a foolish path.

And it's all right, baby, it's all right
Despite possible negative outcomes, everything will work out in the end.

We're on a road to nowhere
Our journey lacks purpose or direction.
