Long Road
Jake Isaac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what I'm looking for
And everything they have on me
Brought us to look for more
I know this Feeling too well
Was never meant to live without
I Lived that truth before
Hey told me i Was wrong to fight
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Long road
Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Wooow!!!
They should've know that I would go
When they Said I would stay
I'm not working all these days and nights
Earning that I Was paid
I'll take the chance on my own
I'll be walking on this road all night
At my own pace
I Don't need them to tell me their lies
Like everythings unbraced
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Wooow!!!
Can't stand the turning In my head
When my Heart sets its road
Can't stand those days when I feel dead
To it all
Long road
This Long road
Long road
This Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
Long road
Don't get me mad cause I walking this
The song "Long Road" by Jake Isaac speaks of the artist's journey towards success and self-discovery. The first two lines suggest that people judge the artist for not being fun and yet, it is precisely what he is looking for. The next few lines describe a feeling that the artist knows too well, where he was never meant to live without something that he loved. He has experienced the truth of not fighting for what he desires before, and people have told him that he was wrong to fight or live like he was more. However, the artist is determined to walk this long road towards success and self-discovery, which might not be acceptable to others. The last few lines of the song speak about days when he feels like giving up, but he reminds himself that he can't stop walking this long road.
The song's chorus stresses the theme of walking this long road towards success and self-discovery. The artist is not allowing anyone to stop him from achieving his goals and dreams. He repeats the phrase "Don't get me mad cause I'm walking this long road" to emphasize that he's walking alone, and he's not going to let anyone walk over him or stop him. He concludes the chorus by saying wow, indicating that no amount of inconvenience faced during the journey can make him give up.
