Destination Unknown
Marietta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize
I need to walk on the wire just to catch my breath,
I don't know how or where but I'm goin' it's all that I have left

It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul
Never took this road before, destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown
Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown

See a chance gotta take it wanna meet my fate
'Cause the last thing I ever wanted was to find out it's too late
No way out when you're in it deeper than the night
There's a light at the end of the tunnel, I see it burning bright

It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul

Never took this road before, destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown
Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown

It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul

Never took this road before, destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown




Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh, destination unknown

Собрались буквально все

-На что это повлияет.сэр я бы не хотелось чтобы коснулось родных

This movie sparked my lifelong love and passion for aviation as a small child. Now I'm 28 and a pilot for real. The 80's were just entirely too amazing.

@immortalraider13thedoombri23

+necroticism Good for you for following your passion! If I were a pilot, I'd want to fly either a Grumman F-14 Tomcat or a Mikoyan MiG-29A (the MiG-28 in the movie was based on the MiG-29A). The F-14 Tomcat is my favorite American fighter jet (US Navy), whereas the Mikoyan MiG-29As were commissioned by the Air Force of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). In December 1991, after the crumbling of the Soviet Union, there emerged the Russian Federation and 14 independent republics (including Ukraine, which was an original Union republic of the USSR), while the other republics, during the Soviet Union days, were liberated by the Red Army between 1920 (after the Great War, WWI) and 1944.
