Lyrics
Stranded in the storm trying to see through the rain
Facing challenges and difficulties, trying to find clarity in a tough situation.
Looks like my life's coming 'round again
Life seems to be improving or taking a positive turn.
I wouldn't stop it now even if I thought I could
Commitment to continue the current path, regardless of doubts.
I was one of the remnants from a burned out scene
Derived from a past that has been through turmoil or destruction.
Trying to recover from the years between
Recovering from the difficulties faced in the intervening years.
What they didn't want then is what they think they want now
What was rejected before is now desired by others.
Down the road, down the road
Reiteration of the challenging journey, emphasizing the road ahead.
I can still remember being here a long time ago
Recollection of being in a similar situation long ago.
I'd been pickin' up the pieces from another hard fall
Dealing with the aftermath of a difficult experience, picking up the pieces.
Waitin' by the phone for an overseas call
Waiting for a significant communication, possibly from a distant place.
They wanted my past and they wanted it now
Others are interested in the speaker's past and want it immediately.
I could sense it in the air, feel it in my veins
Sensing a change in the air, feeling anticipation and transformation.
Something was coming to take me away
Something significant is approaching to take the speaker away.
I'd been lost for so long, maybe it's the price we all pay
Long period of feeling lost, perhaps a common price for everyone to pay.
Down the road, down the road
Reiteration of the challenging journey, emphasizing the road ahead.
I can still remember being here a long time ago
Recollection of being in a similar situation long ago.
I looked in the mirror trying to see
Self-reflection in the mirror, attempting to understand personal changes.
What it was they had killed in me
Questioning what part of the speaker's identity has been lost.
And why can't I no longer believe
Expressing a loss of belief or faith in something.
I wandered around and I swore by God
Swearing to resist external pressures, no matter how intense the fight.
I would never give in no matter how hard they fought
Refusing to give in, a commitment to resilience despite challenges.
I've waited too long to have it any other way
Waiting too long to accept any other way of life.
Down the road, down the road
Reiteration of the challenging journey, emphasizing the road ahead.
I can still remember being here a long time ago
Recollection of being in a similar situation long ago.
