Steppenwolf – Desperation Lyrics 8 years ago
He's asking the listener if they feel like life is hopeless.

The "old road" may mean suicide or self harm.

The second verse then recognises the monotony of life, suggesting first of all not to give up when problems arise, then to try something new and not to look back on your old way of life.
