Road Song
l'Attentat Lyrics

I left my home and headed for the sun
I departed from my familiar surroundings in pursuit of brighter opportunities.

Road to success has got me on the run
The journey towards achieving my goals has become a frantic pursuit.

Mama says it's paved with pain
My mother warns that the path to success is fraught with challenges and hardships.

There's a lot to lose but there's nothing much to gain
Although the cost of this journey is high, the benefits seem minimal.

Those I've loved have suffered for it
The people I care about have endured difficulties as a result of my choices.

I don't know how they endure it
I find it hard to understand how they manage to cope with the pain.

But me I know that there's no other way
I am convinced that this challenging path is the only option available to me.

I'm headed for a land called glory
I am journeying towards a place where I hope to achieve recognition and success.

And I know that I'm a different story
I recognize that my experiences and aspirations set me apart from others.

Than those I pass on by most every day
Unlike the ordinary lives of the people I encounter daily.

Woa oh every day
This realization resonates with me daily.

But I cannot get my eyes up off the road
I am so focused on my goals that I cannot divert my attention from the journey.

I hope this place I'm going is made of gold
I wish for the destination of my efforts to be truly fulfilling and rewarding.

Cuz there isn't time to ease my mind, there isn't time to love
I feel pressured by time, leaving no room for relaxation or nurturing relationships.

The empty cars, the lonely bars, the road
The desolation around me—the vacant vehicles and bars—reflects my solitary journey.

Oh the road
The road symbolizes my ongoing struggle and relentless pursuit.

How can you stop the road
It raises the question of how one can pause or alter this relentless journey.

Well sometimes you've got to stop for fuel
There are moments when taking a break to recharge becomes essential.

So I asked directions from the happy fool
In search of guidance, I turned to someone seemingly naive but cheerful.

And He told me son, you passed it long ago
The advice I received indicated that I had missed a crucial opportunity in the past.

Well I just laughed at him and said well who are you
I dismissed the advice, questioning the authority of the one who offered it.

But somewhere deep inside
Intuitively, I acknowledge a truth that resonates within me.

I know it's true
I recognize that there is validity to the insight I received.

Cause I cannot get my eyes up off the road
My fixation on my journey remains absolute.

I hope this place I'm going is made of gold
I continue to wish that the outcome of my efforts will be valuable and nurturing.

Cuz there isn't time to ease my mind
The urgency of my pursuits prevents me from finding peace.

There isn't time to love
I sacrifice personal connections due to my overwhelming focus on goals.

The empty cars, lonely bars, the road
The desolate surroundings are a constant reminder of my solitary path.

Oh the road
The road represents the ongoing journey filled with both hope and struggle.

The road
The notion of the road continues to symbolize my journey.

How can you stop the road
This reflects a persistent question about the nature of my relentless pursuit.

In some other time
I yearn for a different period in my life.

Some other day
Perhaps a future moment will bring change.

You will be mine
I hold hope for a significant relationship in my life.

And I will be long to myself
I envision a time when I can embrace my true self.

In some other time my dear
I long for a future moment to reconnect with what is dear to me.

Hmmmmm
A moment of contemplation and emotion.

But I cannot get my eyes up off the road
My focus remains unwaveringly on my path ahead.

I hope this place I'm going is made of gold
I continue to wish for valuable rewards for my endeavors.

Cuz there isn't time to ease my mind
The pressure of my goals leaves no moment for relaxation.

There isn't time to love
I forgo deep connections due to my relentless pursuit.

The empty cars the lonely bars, the road
The solitude surrounding me is a manifestation of my ongoing struggle.

Oh the road
The road continues to symbolize both my aspirations and challenges.

The road
The road remains a metaphor for my journey.

How can you stop the road
This is a persistent inquiry into whether one can pause this unending journey.
