Reno
Wayland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The streets are dirty and the girls are cocaine pretty
Put it all on black when there's no place left to go
There's only one road in and one road out
One road in an one road out of Reno
One road in, one road out, gonna bury my in, in this desert town
Sand in pocket, come on make it rain, can't stay alive in this slow drain
It's no Las Vegas, no Atlantic City
The streets are dirty and the girls are cocaine pretty
Put it all on black when there's no place left to go
There's only one road in and one road out
One road in and one road out of Reno
Grew up hard, and played it rough, momma said, boy enough's enough
Now I swear little sister, I'm comin' back for you, gonna do everything
They told me not to do.
It's no Las Vegas, no Atlantic City
The streets are dirty and the girls are cocaine pretty
Put it all on black when there's no place left to go
There's only one road in and one road out
One road in and one road out of Reno
(Musical Interlude)
It's no Las Vegas, no Atlantic City
The streets are dirty and the girls are cocaine pretty
Put it all on black when there's no place left to go
There's only one road in and one road out
One road in and one road out
One road in and one road out
One road in and one road out of Reno
It's no Las Vegas, no Atlantic City
(One road out of Reno)
The streets are dirty and the girls are cocaine pretty
(One road out of Reno)
Put it all on black when there's no place left to go
There's only one road in and one road out
One road in and one road out
One road out of Reno
The song "Reno" by Wayland paints a gritty picture of the city and its vices. The lyrics describe how Reno is not as glamorous as Las Vegas or Atlantic City, with dirty streets and girls who are beautiful but caught up in drugs. The singer of the song seems to be struggling in life and turns to gambling as a way out. The line "put it all on black when there's no place left to go" suggests desperation and a last-ditch effort to turn things around.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is only one road in and one road out of Reno, highlighting how isolated the city can feel. The musical interlude provides a break from the lyrics and allows the listener to reflect on the themes presented in the song. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the desire to leave and escape the cycle of despair within the city.
Overall, "Reno" is a raw and honest portrayal of a city and its struggles. It highlights the allure of gambling and the desperation that can come with it, as well as the isolation and hopelessness that can characterize life in Reno.
