Road Rage
Marky Ramone and the Speed Kings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left alone
'Cause beyond every bend
Is a long blinding end
It's the worst kind of pain
I've known

Give up your heart left broken

And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love that you lost
Wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone

Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh
Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh

Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen
May your love never end
And if you need a friend
There's a seat here alongside me

Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh

Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song “Road Rage” by Marky Ramone and the Speed Kings are an expression of the complexities of love and heartbreak. The lyrics seem to suggest that even though it might be painful to let go of the past, it’s necessary in order for one to move on and find happiness. The first verse encourages the listener not to weep for roads untraveled or paths left alone because the pain of not knowing what could have been is worse than the pain of letting go. It’s a reminder that dwelling on the past will only bring more pain and suffering.

The second verse advises the listener to give up their broken heart and let go of what they have lost because it was not worth the cost. The love may have been lost, but in time they will be glad to have let it go. The chorus repeats the refrain “Woah-oo-oh-oh, Woah-oo-ohh” twice, suggesting a sense of defiance and resolution to move on from the past. The final verse encourages the listener to look towards the future and hope for everlasting love. It also suggests that there will always be someone to support and sit alongside them, even in difficult times.
