Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere, come on inside
We'll take that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Feeling okay this morning, and you know
We're on a road to paradise, here we go
Here we go
We're on a ride to nowhere, come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Maybe you'll wonder where you are
I don't care even when time is on our
Side, take you there, take you there
We're on a road to nowhere, ha, ha
We're on a road to nowhere, ha, ha
We're on a road to nowhere, ha, ha, whoo
There's a city in my mind, come along and
Take that ride, and it's all right, baby
It's all right and it's very far away
But it's growing day
By day, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
Would you like to come along, you can help me
Sing this song, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make
A fool of you, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
There's a city in my mind, come along and
Take that ride, and it's all right, baby
It's all right and it's very far away
But it's growing day
By day, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
Yeah, would you like to come along
You can help
Me sing this song, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
They can tell you what to do, oh, God
They'll make
A fool of you, and it's all right, baby
It's all right
We're on a road to nowhere, hey
We're on a road to nowhere, ha
We're on a road to nowhere, ha, ha
We're on a road to nowhere
The lyrics to Nouvelle Vague's "Road to Nowhere" reflect a sense of uncertainty and a search for meaning and purpose in life. The opening lines, "Well, we know where we're going, but we don't know where we've been," suggest that the individuals are aware of their destination but are unsure of their past experiences and how they have shaped them. They are also aware of what they currently know but struggle to articulate what they have truly seen and experienced.
The mention of not being little children highlights their maturity and understanding of what they want in life. Despite this, they still feel the need for time to figure things out, indicating a desire for clarity and direction in their journey. The repetition of the phrase "we're on a road to nowhere" emphasizes the feeling of being lost or uncertain of the path they are taking.
The lyrics also convey a sense of optimism and excitement about the journey ahead. The line "Feeling okay this morning, and you know, we're on a road to paradise, here we go" suggests a positive mindset and a willingness to embrace the unknown. They invite others to join them on this journey, expressing a desire for companionship and shared experiences.
The mention of a "city in my mind" represents a metaphorical place of sanctuary or escape. It symbolizes the idea that one can find solace and fulfillment within their own thoughts and dreams. This city is constantly evolving and growing, reflecting the continuous quest for self-discovery and personal growth.
Overall, the lyrics convey a mix of uncertainty, hope, and the desire for exploration. The road to nowhere is not necessarily negative, but rather an opportunity to find one's own path, discover new experiences, and ultimately find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life.

When your existential crisis is having an existential crisis, you know you are listening to a David Byrne song.

I particularly like the sequence of Chris and Tina meeting, dancing, getting married, having a child, watching the child grow up, turning old and grey and still being in love like crazy birds -- because that's EXACTLY how they turned out!
@charliepanayiotou4305
I read Chris Frantz's book last year and it is very sweet how crazy he is still about Tina
