Is This The Way
The Busters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when you came up to me and said
"Now Baby,
It's the way it's got to be!"
You gave me that smile
It made me wild and you said "Baby,
We're still young as a child!"

Time keeps running out.

I wanna shout.
I wanna move right out of this crime,
Crime of my life.
I wanna find
Another piece of mind.

Is this the way to say
That you don't love me,
Now it's gone today?
S this the way to say
That it's all over,
Now it's gone, gone away?

I turned around and started to cry and you said "Baby,
Now it's time to say goodbye".
It hurt so much,
It felt so bad, this strike of misery,
Now it's making me so sad!

Time keeps running out. ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Is This the Way" by The Busters revolves around the theme of heartbreak and lost love. The lyrics describe a moment where the singer's lover came to him and said they have to break up. Despite the smile on their face, it made the singer "wild" and they expressed a desire to find "another piece of mind." The chorus questions if this is the proper way to convey the end of a relationship and realizes just how devastating it can be with lines like "I turned around and started to cry." The song is a raw and honest expression of the pain one feels when someone they still love decides it's time to move on.

The melody of the song backs up the pain expressed within the lyrics. The opening riff sounds chipper and upbeat, reminiscent of ska or reggae, yet the lyrics quickly set the tone for the confusion and sadness that follows. As the song progresses, the tempo picks up, adding to the sense of urgency in the singer's desire to move on.

Interestingly, "Is This the Way" premiered over thirty years ago, when it was first released in 1988. The Busters, a ska/punk/reggae band from Germany, have been active for over three decades, releasing thirteen studio albums to date. Additionally, the song has been covered by another ska band, The Fundamentals, and The Busters themselves have recorded and released an acoustic version of the song.
