the way

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
And it's always summer,
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

The children woke up
And they couldn't find them
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind them

But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today, today
Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care




They wanted the highway
They're happy there today, today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gigi D'Agostino's "The Way" tell the story of a group of people who have made the decision to leave their current life behind in search of something better. They pack up their belongings and set out on the road, without any clear destination in mind. As they travel, they drink wine and talk, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. When their car breaks down, they continue on foot, still unsure of where they are heading. Despite their uncertainty, they seem content with their decision to leave, preferring the freedom of the open road to the constraints of their old life.


The chorus of the song describes the road they walk on as paved with gold, and always summer. This serves as a metaphor for the idealistic nature of their journey, as they pursue a life that is carefree and full of adventure. The final verse reveals that they have left their children behind, which adds an element of sadness to the story. However, the overall tone of the lyrics suggests that the group is happy with their decision to leave, even if it means they may never return.


Line by Line Meaning

They made up their minds
They decided to leave


And they started packing
They began to prepare to leave


They left before the sun came up that day
They departed early in the morning


An exit to eternal summer slacking
They left for a permanent vacation


But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They left without a clear destination in mind


They drank up the wine
They enjoyed some alcohol


And they got to talking
They started a conversation


They now had more important things to say
Their conversation became serious


And when the car broke down they started walking
They continued their journey by foot after their vehicle broke down


Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
Their journey seems promising and filled with opportunities


And it's always summer, They'll never get cold
They expect their journey to always be smooth and enjoyable


They'll never get hungry, They'll never get old and gray
They believe their journey will provide them with eternal youth and abundance


You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They have no clear direction or destination


They won't make it home
They do not plan to return home


But they really don't care
They are content with their decision


They wanted the highway
They desired a life of adventure and freedom


They're happy there today, today
They currently feel content and fulfilled with their chosen path

They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going Without ever knowing the way?

they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray

They wanted the highway
They're happier there today , today

They just drove off
And left it all behind them
