'It's a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no' - this is about a persona. Her actual being is in turmoil and she's not the successful, outgoing performer she appears as. It's a mask.
'I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself' - feeling trapped - she won't be held down. She's had bad experiences, she's learnt to have a way out
There's a feelin
But you're not feelin' it at all -you don't understand her at all. Just not getting it!!
There's a meaning
But you're not listening any more
I look at that open road
I'm gonna walk there by myself - we're al alone and you can only rely on yourself
And if you catch me
I might try to run away - again, I won't be trapped. I have flight in me.
You know I can't be here too long
And if you let me
I might try to make you stay
Seems you never realise a good thing
Till it's gone..
Maybe im still searchin
But I dont know what it means
All the fires of destruction are still
Burnin' in my dreams
There's no water that can wash away
This longin' to come clean possibly she's feeling fake and wanting to rid the mask. Feels like she can't be hersrlf
Hey yea yea....
I cant find the joy within my soul -- just can't get out of this state
It's just sadness takin hold -despair
I wanna come in from the cold - just want to be safe
And make myself renewed again — and be okay
It takes strength to live this way —
The same old madness every day — direct reference to living with anxiety and other troubles. Same thoughts and battle daily
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again... — wishing she could unlearn this habit and be like everyone else
It's a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no
I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself — I'm traumatised from bad experiences. Blame. Someone caused it. You're not going to find me at my house or in my head, because I'm not really that person. It's a persona you want me to be. I'm unstable and fragile really
