Chris Rea – The Road To Hell (part 2) Lyrics 13 years ago
i signed up to song meanings after reading your idea on the meaning of this song .......i feel it needs pointing out that the song lyrics ARE specific to the m25

chris rea has allway said the lyrics were written while he was stuck in a traffic jam on the m25 so for you to say that the song has nothing to do with the m25 is just plain wrong


And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows

hes under the street light on the m25 and the light of joy is the sun ....scared of the shadows from the sun that set long ago because its london and its a bit rough ..... hence fear of violence
chokes the smile on every face .
its all just bits of paper flying away from you ....life ticking away stuck in a traffic jam


Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

the world needs to look at how the m25 simply does not work properly ..it doesnt flow and things need to change ......

simply means the m25 has not made things any better ..(things are not on the up as they say )

for me you simply over analized a great song
great song lyrics do not need explaining ..they simply are
