No One Listens, No One Cares
Life on the Road: A Melodic Odyssey of Sacrifice and Longing
Lyrics
It's another day of life on the road, you think this is a vacation?
Expressing the challenges of life on the road for a musician, challenging the perception that it's a vacation.
Well then you've got it all wrong
Addressing a misconception about the nature of being a musician on tour.
We'll just keep carrying on, playing shows to make ends meet
Determination to continue performing to make a living despite difficulties.
We keep writing music, trying to make it in this dying industry
Highlighting the struggle of trying to succeed in an industry that is perceived as declining.
You're the only reason worth staying away from home
Acknowledging the importance of fans as a motivation to stay on the road.
If it wasn't for people like you, we wouldn't even play at all
Emphasizing the significance of the audience and their impact on the decision to perform.
You're the only reason worth staying away from home
Reiterating the influence of fans as a reason to endure the challenges of touring.
But what do I say, if every word's been said?
Expressing frustration about the difficulty of finding new words or messages.
Why even waste my breath?
Questioning the point of speaking if the audience is unresponsive.
No one listens, no one cares
Conveying a sense of disillusionment with the lack of attention and concern from others.
Maybe I'll just join the rest and scream about how life isn't fair
Contemplating joining others in expressing frustration about life's perceived unfairness.
Why even waste my breath?
Repeating the futility of speaking when no one pays attention.
No one listens, no one cares
Reiterating the sense of being unheard and unacknowledged.
No one's listening, no one even cares
Emphasizing the perceived lack of audience engagement and interest.
30 days, 30 shows, 5 showers, and dirty clothes
Describing the challenging aspects of touring, including limited hygiene and living conditions.
I'm not complaining, this is just the life that we chose
Acceptance of the hardships as part of the chosen lifestyle.
Welcome to our lives
Welcoming the listener to the realities of the musician's life.
Another date, another city
Acknowledging the repetitive nature of touring—another day, another city.
I've missed too many holidays, and hurt my family enough times
Reflecting on the sacrifices made for the musical career, including missing holidays.
To waste away on tour, and spend it risking our lives
Expressing the risk and challenges faced while on tour.
So many relationships destroyed over never being around
Highlighting the strain on relationships due to constant absence.
Yet I keep getting in this van living my life from town to town
Despite the challenges, expressing a commitment to the touring lifestyle.
You're the only reason worth staying away from home
Reiterating the importance of fans as a driving force to stay away from home.
If it wasn't for people like you we wouldn't even play at all
Underscoring the influence of the audience on the decision to perform.
You're the only reason worth staying away from home
Repeating the impact of fans as a reason to endure the challenges of touring.
But, what do I say, if every word's already been said?
Echoing frustration about the challenge of finding new words or messages.
Why even waste my breath, no one listens, no one cares
Reiterating frustration with the lack of attention and concern from others.
Maybe I'll just join the rest and scream about how life isn't fair
Contemplating joining others in expressing frustration about life's perceived unfairness.
Why even waste my breath when no one listens, no one cares
Repeating the futility of speaking when no one pays attention.
No one listens, no one cares
Concluding with a repetition of the theme of feeling unheard and unacknowledged.
