Pave A New Road
Eric Roberson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pave a new road for, for us.
Pave a new road for, for us.

Kids are living life like, its another game.
Kids are living life like, theres not any pain.

You can drop a quarter in and start your life again.
There is a better way,

Pave a new road for us.
Pave a new road for us.

So much is dying...
So much is dying...

...
Some make is home but there souls are lost...
Theres a smarter way,





Pave a new road for us.
Pave a new road for us.

Overall Meaning

The song "Pave A New Road" by Eric Roberson is an emotional and introspective piece that speaks about the need for change and the desire to pave a new path in life. The two repeated lines, "Pave a new road for us," is a cry for a better way of living, when the current one is filled with pain and uncertainty. The first verse talks about how kids, probably referring to the younger generation growing up, are living life as though it is just another game. This sentiment could be understood as a lack of seriousness in today's world, where everything seems superficial and trivialized. The second verse takes a more general perspective, acknowledging how much is dying in the world, whether it be people, culture, or values. The repetition highlights the importance of these two verses' messages as they encapsulate the song's central theme of desperation for change and hope for the future.


The chorus, then, becomes a hopeful plea for a brighter future, a shout-out for a new path that will lead to a better life. Its repetition emphasizes the need for change and the urgency of the matter. The phrase, "There is a better way," in the first verse and "There's a smarter way," in the second are both further evidence that Roberson is trying to offer a sense of optimism to his listeners.
