Traffic
Tenashar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back to the open road
on the edge of the great unknown
That's where we used to run so free, on the highway.
As we travelled so far, so wide
changing lanes like the turning tide
I saw the city, the bright lights, right in front on me.
We're moving in a static place
Stuck at the red light
just trying to find our way
but how can we move ahead
In all this traffic, traffic, traffic
All this traffic, traffic, oh-oh-oh-oh
In all this traffic, traffic, traffic
All this traffic, traffic, oh-oh-oh-oh
Once so free, now we're breaking down
Feel the rush in my head right now
All the chaos and madness, it's surrounding us.
All we need, is to run and hide
from this gridlock where we reside
We could break every limit, nothing stopping us.
We're moving in a static place
Stuck at the red light
just trying to find our way
but how can we move ahead
In all this traffic, traffic, traffic
All this traffic, traffic, oh-oh-oh-oh




In all this traffic, traffic, traffic
All this traffic, traffic, oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Traffic" by Tenashar is a powerful and reflective piece that speaks to the feelings of being trapped and stuck in a stagnant place. The lyrics begin with the singer looking back to a time when they were free, and could run and travel without any worry or hesitation. However, as time passed, they have found themselves stuck in traffic, both physically and metaphorically, unable to move forward or find their way. The lyrics are filled with imagery of being surrounded by chaos and madness, feeling trapped and suffocated by the gridlock of everyday life. Despite these feelings, the singer maintains a sense of hope and optimism, believing that they can break free and push forward towards something greater.


The song speaks to a universal experience that many people can relate to, the feeling of being stuck or trapped in a place where they don't want to be. It is a powerful reminder that we all have the power to take control of our own lives and push beyond what we previously thought was possible. Whether we are stuck in a physical traffic jam or a mental one, there is always a way forward if we are willing to look for it.
