John B feat. Code 64 & Undersound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A contradiction
I keep chasing dreams
They're calling out for me
How can I
Make up for my mistakes
Have i got...
(wooooh)
Don't know
Which road to take
Need someone else to point me in
the right direction
Let the illusion break
There's no-one else
to lead the way
to my redemption
Don't know
Which road to take
Need someone else to point me in
The right direction
Let the illusion break
There's no-one else
to lead the way
to my redemption
Empty spaces
bleeding distortion
to journey is ending
(and I don't want it to stop)
Empty spaces
bleeding distortion
to journey is ending
(and I don't want it to stop)
To point me in.
To point me in...
To point me in...
to right direction
To point me in...
My redemption
Don't know
Which road to take
Need someone else to point me in
the right direction
Let the illusion break
There's no-one else
to lead the way
to my redemption
Don't know
Which road to take
Need someone else to point me in
the right direction
Let the illusion break
There's no-one else
to lead the way
to my redemption
(wooooh)
To point me in...

This song is amazing. I saw a friend of mine that I haven't seen in four years. We rolled a couple of joints and put some music on. I asked him if he listened to you, he told me he didn't. Needless to say I think you've got another big fan. Never stop what you're doing. The day you stop making music is the day I stop listening to it.
