Road to Heaven
Journey Beyond Gold: Exploring The Road to Heaven
Lyrics
There's no silver or gold
There is no value in material wealth, symbolized by silver or gold.
In the stories that were told
The stories told lack wealth but may have other meaningful elements.
Bout walking down the road to heaven
Reference to a journey or life path toward heaven.
I took no advice and set my sights
The singer didn't seek guidance and aimed for a distant destination.
Further down the road to heaven
Continuation of the journey towards heaven.
All my life I been runnin' after
Throughout life, the singer pursued horizons and the sky.
Horizons and sky
Metaphorically, the pursuit of broader experiences and opportunities.
Little death, you are on the pasture
Personifying "Little Death" in a peaceful setting with a rising moon.
With a moon on the rise
Symbolic imagery of tranquility and serenity.
The hours getting late
As time passes, there is a sense of urgency.
I'm climbing up a gate
Struggling or overcoming obstacles to reach a destination.
And knockin' on the door to heaven
Knocking on the door to heaven, seeking entry or enlightenment.
Paisley covered walls
Describing the surroundings with paisley-covered walls.
Your pictures hung and all
Reference to personal memories or experiences.
Won't you open up my eyes to heaven
Requesting a revelation or deeper understanding of heaven.
Come on, open up my eyes to heaven
Reiteration of the plea to open the eyes to heavenly insights.
All my life I been runnin' after
Repetition of the pursuit of horizons and sky throughout life.
Horizons and sky
Continued seeking of broader experiences and opportunities.
Little death, you are on the pasture
Recurrence of the peaceful imagery with "Little Death" and a rising moon.
With a moon on the rise
Symbolism of tranquility and serenity reemphasized.
Take me to your room
Request to be taken to a place with blooming flowers, symbolizing beauty.
With flowers in bloom
Desire for a serene and beautiful environment.
And every sight's like a new morning
Every sight is compared to a new morning, suggesting freshness and renewal.
Come on, lay me down, put me in a cloud
Invoking a sense of floating or being elevated in a cloud-like state.
And let it linger on for everafter
Desire for a lingering, eternal experience or state.
Yeah, let it linger on for everafter
Repetition of the longing for a lasting, heavenly experience.
