Road To Nowhere
Pro-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world so evil
From the cradle to the grave
We're on a road to nowhere...
Going nowhere
With broken hearts and idle minds
We're wishing away
Our shattered realities
We've still no shame
Global atrocities
Bestowed upon us
Our god has spoken
But none took heed
So we punish the messenger
Now everything's broken
I've nothing to say
But for this they shall pay
Walk the plank
And fall to your death
The liars you trusted
Will piss on your head
We're on a road to nowhere...
Going nowhere
They tore us apart
Through balkanization
And cheap legislation
Now we're running away
Like fleeing slaves
From this global plantation
It's a petty place
And any race
Should feel disgraced
Pushing a pack of lies
With holes a mile wide
In front of our open eyes
I've nothing to say
But for this they shall pay!!!
The lyrics of Pro-Pain's "Road To Nowhere" revolve around the idea that war and hate bring pain to our lives, and the world is becoming more and more evil. The lyrics suggest that from the day we are born until the day we die, we are on a road to nowhere, with broken hearts and idle minds. The shattered realities of our lives have left us in ruins, and our response is to wish them away.
The lyrics suggest that we are living in a world with global atrocities that have been bestowed upon us. The god has spoken, but none have taken heed of the message, and consequently, everything is broken. The liars we trusted will piss on our head, and the world is going nowhere. We are running away, like fleeing slaves, from this global plantation, undermined by balkanization, cheap legislation, and a pack of lies with holes a mile wide in front of our open eyes.
The lyrics "I've nothing to say, but for this they shall pay" alludes to the fact that the singer has given up on words, and the only thing left is for the culprits to face the consequences. The song is an indictment of the way the world operates, and it suggests that we need to change how we relate to each other and the world around us before it's too late.
