The Road

from Good 2 B Weird by Mona Vegana

/

about

I wrote this song about my experience of living in two places at the same time, even though those two places are on opposite sides of the world. In this experience I noticed that I only really feel free when I'm on the road, when I'm travelling. I don't like staying in the same place for long, because it makes me feel restrained and locked up. The one place I can think is on the road. The one place I feel free is on the road.

lyrics

Intro
Bbm7 Abmadd9 Ebmaj7 Fm7


Verse
Bm7 Amadd9-Em7 Dm7 Gmaj7

In my past lay metal and stone
In my present bamboo and dust
My future will guide me back home
Through the sand and sea if I must

The asphalt burns beneath my feet
The sun turns white into red
Like plastic melted by the heat
Only my true self waits ahead


Chorus
Dmaj7 Amaj7-Gmaj7 Dbm7 Bm7
Dmaj7 Amaj7-Gmaj7 Dm7 Dbm7

Thoughts cascade on the road
Inspire me to move forward
My heart and mind share a boat
Why can't I always be this straightforward?

Every time I'm on the road
I pluck these words from the clouds
As they drift on by as if bestowed
By whatever lies beyond the road


Verse
In my past reigned blood and hate
In my present passion and lust
My future will decide my fate
Will I be tempted or loyal and just

From concrete and marbled streets
To country side roads of dirt
True fulfillment completes
My soul oh so tragically hurt


Bridge
After all that was said
And all that was thought
All that was yelled
And all that was fought

Thunderous bellowing
Earth shaking trembling
Words that cut like swords
And thoughts that sting like curses
Complicated chords
And far too many verses
Too many ideas
Trapped inside my head
Far too many fears
I curled up in my bed

But one place I feel free
Where my mind can wander
Far from the debris
Of what tore us asunder

The one place where I can think!


Chorus
Thoughts cascade on the road
Inspire me to move forward
My heart and mind share a boat
Why can't I always be this straightforward?

Every time I'm on the road
I pluck these words from the clouds
As they drift on by as if bestowed
By whatever lies beyond the road

Thoughts cascade on the road
Inspire me to move forward
My heart and mind share a boat
Why can't I always be this straightforward?

Every time I'm on the road
I pluck these words from the clouds
As they drift on by as if bestowed
By whatever lies beyond the road
Whatever lies beyond the road
