Motorway
Ikara Colt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another way
It's on the first page of the a-z
And is
So easy to
Lose your way
But you can find it on the motorway
And take
But that's ok
Start again another day
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
Got their wires
Another way
It's on the first page of the a-z
And is
So easy to
Lose your way
But you can find it on the motorway
And take
A wrong turn
But that's ok
Start again another day
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
And what's it gonna be
This time it's made for free
And it can't be any other way
The lyrics of Ikara Colt's song "Motorway" express a sense of confusion and uncertainty in life. The opening lines, "Got their wires, another way, It's on the first page of the a-z," suggest that the singer is trying to find their way in a world where there are many options available. However, it's all too easy to get lost in this sea of choices, as the lyrics state, "And is, so easy to, lose your way."
Despite this confusion, the song offers a solution: the motorway. The motorway is a synonym for the highway, the road that leads in one direction, offering a clear and straightforward path. The line "But you can find it on the motorway" suggests that finding direction, purpose, and clarity is possible, even when it seems impossible. The idea of taking a wrong turn is presented, but this seemingly negative experience is reframed as something positive, "But that's ok, start again another day." This line suggests that making mistakes is a natural part of life and that we shouldn't be ashamed of our missteps.
The repeated chorus, "And what's it gonna be, this time it's made for free, And it can't be any other way," is ambiguous. On one hand, it could be interpreted as a sense of fatalism, implying that there is no way to break free from the predestined path we find ourselves on. On the other hand, it could be interpreted as a form of optimism, indicating that whatever happens in life is meant to be and that we should embrace it. Overall, "Motorway" offers a sense of hope in a world that can often feel disorientating and uncertain.
