On the road
L.F.N.T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught up, set on making it.
Voice ready to hit the stage, but wouldn't have conversations.
Back home I kept selling it, like the road was always glamorous.
But starting to pray for change, I hardly could tell the days then.
So I packed up, threw my life in a bag.
Forgot the rest of the commitments I had.
But when I saw you, the first question you asked was, How'd it all go? And what brings you home?
Traveled all the empty roads and now you know,
This life was not your own.
I wanna know what brings you home.
Traveled all the empty roads and now you know,
This life was not your own.
Not ready to take another day.
When the walls all look the same to me, I'll break from the lane that's stalling me.
When you call from heights I never reached, I'll swing for the fence beyond defeat.
When the walls all look the same to me, I'll break from the lane that's stalling me.
Wrapped up the loose ends of it,
Backed off the games and pretenses.
Stopped making my life a stage, to start getting my head on straight again.
Tiptoed before I could step in, Lord knows the places that I've been.
Priorities rearranged, I'm not willing to bend and break again.
So I packed up, threw my life in a bag.
Forgot the rest of the commitments I had.
And when I saw you, the direction you had was, Let it all go, and let me guide you home.
I wanna know what brings you home.
Traveled all the empty roads and now you know,
This life was not your own.
I wanna know what brings you home.
Traveled all the empty roads and now you know,
This life was not your own.
So what good is it, if I gain the whole world but I lose my soul?
And what could I give, but the breath in my lungs to give praise to the son who let me see,
When the walls all looked the same to me.
I'll break from the lane that's stalling me.
When you call from heights I never reached, I'll swing for the fence beyond defeat.
The lyrics to L.F.N.T's song "On the Road" allude to the traditional American folk song "Lonesome Road," which carries a sense of melancholy and weariness found in the lyrics. The song's initial line, "Look down, look down that lonesome road before you travel on," serves as a warning to the listener or protagonist to contemplate their journey ahead of time. It's essential to comprehend where you've come from and where you're going before continuing down the lonesome road.
Additionally, the following line "Look up, look up and greet your maker, for Gabriel blows his horn," suggests that the trip ahead is one that is reflective and may lead to introspection. The reference to Gabriel's horn is a biblical allusion to the time of judgment when the archangel Gabriel will sound his horn, and the dead will rise once more. As a result, the song, when translated in this context, may be seen as a cautionary tale, reminding listeners that they will eventually answer for their transgressions and encouraging them to contemplate their behavior.
Overall, the track is one of contemplation, depicting a figure traveling down a lonesome road while carrying a heavy load. The rapper's voice, accompanied by the gentle strumming of a guitar, creates a sense of melancholy, as if the singer's journey is long and arduous, yet they continue to walk along, fighting to reach their endpoint.
