The Road
Mad Heads Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it snow or is it rain
Behind the glass
Got no worry feel no pain
Just tired I guess
In the middle of nowhere
By chance by luck
Sip of freshness breath of air
Look down for fate in your coffee cup

Just around the corner the road
Is calling for me to go
It's the way of life and I don't know
What I'll find on the road
Just around the corner the road
Is calling for me to go
It's the way of life and i don't know
What I'll find behind the door
Faces places drinks of beer
And sleepless nights
Winners losers dreams and fears
Dark spots bright lights
In the middle of somewhere
Next place to stop

Sip of freshness breath of air
Another tune in your coffee cup

Overall Meaning

These lyrics tell the story of a person on a journey, both in a literal sense and in a metaphorical sense. The singer sits behind a window, removed from the elements and the world around them. They feel tired, but not necessarily unhappy. They feel disconnected from everything that's passing by, merely a passive witness to the events of life. As they hit the road, they're faced with a sense of uncertainty, unsure of what lies ahead. They know that the road is calling to them, but they're not sure if they're ready to answer that call just yet.

The verses that follow describe the experiences that occur on the road. The singer encounters a range of people and places, from hopeful winners to downtrodden losers. The road is a metaphorical space, representing the ups and downs of life. The singer sips the freshness of the air, a symbolic gesture that represents a new beginning or a fresh start. They're searching for something, aware that life is a journey with no clear destination in sight. The final line, "Another tune in your coffee cup," suggests that the journey is ongoing and that there is always more to experience and discover in life.

Line by Line Meaning

Is it snow or is it rain
Wondering about the weather conditions

Behind the glass
Inside a safe and secure place

Got no worry feel no pain
Feeling relaxed and untroubled

Just tired I guess
Feeling exhausted and fatigued

In the middle of nowhere
Being in a remote and isolated location

By chance by luck
Opportunities arising unexpectedly or fortunately

Sip of freshness breath of air
Taking a moment to refresh and rejuvenate

Look down for fate in your coffee cup
Searching for meaning or a sign in your situation

Just around the corner the road
The journey or path ahead is imminent

Is calling for me to go
Feeling compelled to continue moving forward

It's the way of life and I don't know
This is just how things are and what will happen is uncertain
