The Road
Folk Noir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even behind the dawn
Even across the sea
Give me a place to be.
Would you please take me home
Would you please take me home.
The road is long
Even within the sleep
Even between you and me
Even within your dreams
Give me a place to be
The lyrics to "The Road" by Folk Noir express a sense of longing and a desire for a sense of belonging. The repeated phrase "give me a place to be" illustrates this feeling of not quite fitting in or not having a home. The song acknowledges the difficulties of life ("even after the storm, even behind the dawn, even across the sea"), but ultimately seeks solace and comfort in being able to find a refuge with someone else, as shown in the plea "would you please take me home". The imagery of the journey on a long road further emphasizes the idea that life can be difficult and uncertain, but finding a home and a sense of belonging can be the ultimate destination.
Overall, the lyrics communicate a longing for a sense of security and comfort in the midst of life's struggles. It is a reminder that even in the midst of chaos and turbulence, we all need a place where we feel we belong.
