Big Log
Plant Robert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by
And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night
And the questions and thousands take flight

My love is miles in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
In the secret that burns and the pain that won't stop
And it's fueled with the years

Leading me on (leading me on)
Leading me down the road
Driving me on (driving me on)
Driving me down the road

My love is exceeding the limit
Red eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while at the side?

Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror still expecting their prey
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back, no
There is no turning back on the run

My love is in the league
With the freeway
Oh, with the freeway
And the coming of the night time




My love
My love is in the league with the freeway

Overall Meaning

In this haunting and enigmatic song, Robert Plant evokes a sense of love and loss, as well as freedom and the open road. The singer's love is in league with the freeway, symbolizing the wild and ever-changing world outside the confines of the city, with all its possibilities and adventures. As the cities fly by, the singer's passion rises, and the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night, suggesting a sense of fleetingness and transience.


The lyrics are also marked by a sense of longing and pain. The singer's love is miles and miles away, and he is haunted by the secret that burns inside him and the pain that won't stop. His thoughts collide with distance and longing, as he wonders whether to rest for a while at the side of the road. The reference to the eyes in the mirror still expecting their prey creates a sense of danger, as if the journey is uncertain and fraught with peril, and there is no turning back once the run has begun.

Music from America's golden years...we never really knew how good we had it. Music, art, culture, freedom. It's all degraded now. All of it. Sad
