The Ways
Electro-Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honestly you don't want the truth
'Cause it might kill me
To tell you what I've been going through
I lost control
When I sold my soul to rock and roll
I came so close
Now I'm further than I was before
I got lost on the way home
But I found peace of mind
Coming out of the stereo
And I knew that I'd be fine
As I stared out the window
And saw the world flying by
I got lost on the way home
But I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
Promise me
Promise me you won't turn back
Don't follow me
'Cause I don't know where I'm heading yet
Full speed ahead
And I couldn't stop if I wanted to
Until I'm dead
I'll do exactly what I want to do
I got lost on the way home
But I found peace of mind
Coming out of the stereo
And I knew that I'd be fine
As I stared out the window
And saw the world flying by
I got lost on the way home
But I'm fine
I'm fine
I'll let go if you want me to
I'll let go
I'll let go if you want me to
I'll let go
I got lost on the way home
Then I found peace of mind
Coming out of the stereo
And I knew that I'd be fine
As I stared out the window
And saw the world flying by
I got lost on the way home
But I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
The lyrics of Electro-Light's song The Ways showcase a musician grappling with the consequences and sacrifices of pursuing a career in music. The song begins with the musician admitting that he cannot share the truth about his life as it may be too difficult for him to deal with. He then goes on to express his feelings of detachment and confusion after losing control and selling his soul to rock and roll. Despite his success, he is unsure of his direction and acknowledges the toll his choices have taken on him. However, he finds solace in the music he creates, as he gazes out the window and sees the world rushing past him.
The musician implores the listener not to follow him and turn back, as he does not know where he is headed, but he is determined to continue living his life full speed ahead. He acknowledges that he may have to let go if the listener wants him to, but he will not change his path. In the end, he once again finds peace of mind in the music he creates and reassures himself that he is fine, despite the uncertainty and challenges he faces.
Overall, The Ways is a poignant and honest exploration of the emotional and mental toll that pursuing a passion can take on a person. The song highlights the highs and lows of music-making and offers an insightful glimpse into the mind of a struggling musician.

Honestly
To be truthful
Honestly you don't want the truth
You wouldn't like the truth
'Cause it might kill me
As telling you the truth causes deep pain to me
To tell you what I've been going through
To narrate my experiences
I lost control
My life went haywire
When I sold my soul to rock and roll
My life became all about music
I came so close
I almost had everything
Now I'm further than I was before
But now I'm further away from my goal
Promise me
Assure me
Promise me you won't turn back
Promise you'll not return
Don't follow me
Don't come with me
'Cause I don't know where I'm heading yet
As I don't have a destination
Full speed ahead
Going forward with full force
And I couldn't stop if I wanted to
Unable to stop myself
Until I'm dead
Till the point of my death
I'll do exactly what I want to do
Doing what I feel like doing
I'll let go if you want me to
I'll leave if you insist
I got lost on the way home
I lost track of my destination
But I found peace of mind
But found inner peace
Coming out of the stereo
From the music that helped me
And I knew that I'd be fine
I was confident of being okay
As I stared out the window
Looking through the window
And saw the world flying by
And observed the world moving fast
But I'm fine
But I'm okay

[Verse]
I have been taken by the words that you say
The voice that carries almost kept me astray
Too soon to act on it, can we ever be?
That all depends on what you're feeling for me
[Refrain]
Let me show you all the ways
Let me show you all the ways
Let me show you all the ways, yeah
Let me show you all the ways
