road
Neo-Ethno-Folk group "Arkaiym" Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Better off alone
Start to break the seal
Machine crossed the soul
Passion passed the real

My mind tells more & more to me
I can see endless roads & a quiet sea

Again I like a train of thought
& disappear the moment
The lighting strikes

& then I?m stepping through a door
Again with God I start to fall in love

I must find a place
Where they don?t tell brave cliches
Where I enjoy what I taste
& the smell of rose awakes

I set my feet on a distant field
The green grass moves right under me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Arkaiym’s song “Road” seems to be a reflection of a person’s journey towards self-discovery and individuality while breaking free from the conventional norms and expectations of society. The first verse implies a sense of alienation - preferring being alone to being in the company of others. The second line might suggest that the individual is beginning to break free from the norms of society and find their own path. The third line, “Machine crossed the soul” may connote that society has turned them into mindless machines, but the person has realized that passion is what counts. The last phrase, “Passion passed the real” could imply that one’s passion is what we truly are, and we must pursue it rather than conforming to expectations of what is real.

The second verse suggests the person has found a new perspective, seeing “endless roads” and hope on the horizon. The lyrics “The lighting strikes & then I’m stepping through a door again with God I start to fall in love,” suggest the person might have found spiritual revelation in their journey.

The third verse speaks to a need to break away from cliches and find oneself, which is the essential message of the song. The phrase, “smell of rose awakes” suggests they have found something beautiful in their journey, which is likely a pure experience of nature. In the final line, “The green grass moves right under me,” the individual seems to be moving forward, representing personal growth.
