Long Road
Woven in Hiatus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I form a call on to your soul(?)
if only I should know
the secrets that you hold
bright call(?) youre polished(?)
through the thorn(?)
never meant these shorts(?)
but hear your shaky voice
it's been a long hard road for you
and theres nothing you can do
but take a chance with someone new
wake up
you're almost at the edge
so come with me instead
shake off all this lead
break all your bones to prove a point
never mend these joints
I hear your shaky voice
it's been a long hard road for you
and theres nothing you can do
but take a chance with someone new
and I feel like giving up
it's never been enough
no, it's never been enough
and I feel like giving up
it's never been enough
no, it's never been enough
it's been a long hard road for you




and theres nothing you can do
but take a chance with someone new

Overall Meaning

In Woven in Hiatus's song Long Road, the singer reaches out to someone else's soul, wishing they knew the secrets that this person holds. They describe this person as bright and polished, someone who has been through thorny situations but never gave up. However, the singer hears in this person's voice that it has been a long and hard journey for them, and that they are almost at the edge. The singer urges this person to break free from the lead that is holding them back and take a chance with someone new. The repeated refrain "it's been a long hard road for you, and there's nothing you can do, but take a chance with someone new" suggests that the singer believes this person needs to change their current circumstance to move forward.


The lyrics in Long Road convey a message not only of hope but also of compassion. The singer recognizes that the person they are addressing has been through significant trials, and they don't downplay the difficulty of their journey. Despite that, they encourage this person to believe that they can still take a chance and find happiness. The line "break all your bones to prove a point, never mend these joints" seems to metaphorically suggest that sometimes we need to put ourselves through uncomfortable or painful experiences to truly grow and learn. Overall, the message of the song is that even when you feel like giving up, there is a chance for new beginnings and growth.
