Run off the Road
Discovering Lost Dreams: Run off the Road's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
When you finally scaled the wall
Overcoming obstacles or challenges represented by "the wall."
Thinking you had heard the siren singing
Mistakenly believing in a tempting but deceptive allure.
What you really heard was a broken bird
Hearing a false promise or illusion, symbolized by a broken bird.
Making out like it's a dove
Pretending or disguising something as beautiful when it's not.
When you stole the soldier's car
Engaging in a reckless act, stealing a car belonging to a soldier.
Everybody knew what you were thinking
Being transparent in intentions, with others aware of your thoughts.
Ivory towers and lover's flowers
Dreaming of idealistic and romantic notions, symbolized by ivory towers and lover's flowers.
But no one thought you were a fool
Despite dreams, others don't perceive you as foolish.
You never stopped to notice all
Failure to observe or acknowledge various signs or consequences.
The stolen clothes stacked in the hall
Physical evidence of past mistakes or misdeeds, represented by stolen clothes.
From the others who scaled the wall just to
Others facing similar challenges, hinting at a shared experience of overcoming obstacles.
Find themselves fun off the road
Discovering oneself in a difficult or unexpected situation after overcoming challenges.
When you showed up at the farm
Arriving at a location, possibly representing a new phase or place in life.
Visions of the summer flying past you
Recalling memories or experiences of a joyful past.
The foxes had torn up
Negative events or influences disrupting idyllic scenes.
The mother and her pups
Destruction of family or nurturing elements by external forces.
And the well was full of flies
A negative environment or situation, possibly filled with decay.
When you walked down to the pond
Seeking guidance or support from a romantic interest.
Searching for the lover guiding you
Finding obstacles or impediments instead of the expected help.
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then
Realizing that a source of hope or guidance is corrupted or unavailable.
You finally knew that you were lost
Coming to terms with being lost or directionless.
