Dead End
Navigating Life's Maze: Roland LaBonté's 'Dead End' Revelations
Lyrics
It was all news to my mind, news to my mind
Discovering something new that affects the speaker emotionally.
Wish it was one of a kind, one of a kind,
Desiring a unique and exceptional experience or situation.
But I just can't leave this behind, leave this behind
Feeling unable to move on from a situation or experience.
I was waitin' on my demise
Anticipating or expecting a negative outcome or failure.
Oh the places I'd go
Expressing a desire for exploration and new experiences.
If I could cross this border, the roller coaster
Describing a challenging situation or obstacle (border) in life.
Has gotten real slow
Noticing a slowdown or stagnation in life's ups and downs.
But this time it felt shorter than ever before
Feeling that time is passing quickly and moments are fleeting.
'Cause I saw the way that you shine, just like the sun
Appreciating someone's positive qualities and influence.
Although we were young and impure, thought I had won
Reflecting on a youthful and innocent time, believing in victory.
But even when it was secure, I came undone
Experiencing a sense of security that ultimately unravels.
And now I'm back to square one
Returning to a starting point after a setback or failure.
Oh the places I'd go
Expressing a desire for exploration and new experiences (repeated).
If I could cross this border, the roller coaster
Describing a challenging situation or obstacle (border) in life (repeated).
Has stopped here before
Noting a previous occurrence of obstacles and challenges.
And this time I'm sore, but life still called for
Experiencing pain or difficulty, but acknowledging the call of life.
Another dead end
Acknowledging a situation or path that leads to no progress.
This is the path I was set upon
Accepting a predetermined life path or fate.
I can't try to pretend
Being honest and not pretending about the chosen path.
This is the way I would have it drawn
Accepting and choosing the way life unfolds.
No matter how I play
Expressing a sense of futility or lack of progress in life.
It always seems to stay
Observing a persistent and unchanging negative presence.
The presence of darkening clouds
Describing a metaphorical darkness or negativity in life.
No matter how I play
Emphasizing the persistence of negative circumstances.
It always seems to stay
Observing a lack of positive change or improvement.
The light never wants to come out
Noticing a perpetual absence of positivity or light.
Another dead end
Acknowledging a situation or path that leads to no progress (repeated).
This is the path I was set upon
Accepting a predetermined life path or fate (repeated).
I can't try to pretend
Being honest and not pretending about the chosen path (repeated).
This is the way I would have it drawn
Accepting and choosing the way life unfolds (repeated).
