Wrong Way Out
Junction 18 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Either way is possible so she stood up
And turned off the light She took the wrong
Way out She took the wrong way out
Give me a moment or maybe..Give me something
That'll make my head spin for awhile And it's too late
To start a new direction When you're
This isn't a call for kisses out in the street I'm not
There yet This night, so defined has got me by the
Collar It doesn't hold on for a lifetime does it?
[chorus]
You have no better time to say There is no better
Time to say The way that you turned out, you burned
Out There is no better time to say, "Ohhhh..Can you
Feel the disaster? Breaking hearts and a million here
After Ohhh..Can you feel the disaster? Licking wounds and
A million here after again
So give me a line, give me hope, give me grief,
Give me you The whole world back Standing alone
On my tiptoes waiting..It doesn't hold on for a lifetime
Does it?
[chorus x2]
The lyrics to Junction 18's song "Wrong Way Out" are about a woman who is trying to find her way out of a difficult situation. The lines "Can you break me? Can you thank me?" suggest she is asking for help, either by someone breaking her out of her current situation or thanking her for leaving it behind. However, she realizes that she needs to take matters into her own hands and take the "wrong way out".
The verses describe her desire for something to make her feel alive and dizzy, but she knows it is too late to change the direction she is heading in. She is hoping for the right direction but is facedown and southbound, suggesting she is headed in the opposite direction. She knows she is not ready to be out in the open with public displays of affection in the street but is defined by the night.
The chorus implies that there is no better time to speak up about her situation and the way she has turned out. She is burning out and leaving a million people behind who are also affected by her decision. However, she still wants hope, reassurance, and to feel a connection to someone or something. The final verse suggests she is waiting for the world to come back to her, but she knows that time is fleeting and that she needs to act now before it is too late.
