Two Million Ways
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

there's always somewhere to go
there's always something to know
there's always something to hide
and always things to find

there's always something to mind
there're always things far behind
there's always something to fear
rush it might disappear

i'd like to blow these clouds away
to make sure we get no rain
and let the sun shine on your way
to guide you through the day

i'd like to blow away your doubts
to make sure you do without
and replace ‘em with this refrain
to light you on your way

there's always something to change
and usually in two million ways
but which one will make your day
you choose the wrong one anyway

no time to sleep or hug
no time to catch your luck
prepared all day and night
but time is always tight

i'd like to blow away your doubts
to make sure you do without




and replace ‘em with this refrain
to light you on your way

Overall Meaning

The Busters’ song “Two Million Ways” lyrically explores the human psyche and how we navigate our lives. The opening lines, “there’s always somewhere to go, there’s always something to know, there’s always something to hide, and always things to find” indicate that there are endless possibilities in our lives, both positive and negative. The song delves into common human fears, such as the fear of the unknown and the fear of missing out, as well as the importance of making choices and exceeding expectations.


The chorus describes the desire to eliminate doubt and provide guidance for someone: “I’d like to blow away your doubts, to make sure you do without, and replace ‘em with this refrain, to light you on your way”. This can be interpreted as the singer wanting to lift the weight of negative feelings off of someone and inspire them to make the right decisions to achieve their goals.
