Theme
A soul-searching power ballad about the anguish of watching someone you care about veer down a destructive path, unable to save them. The song captures the helplessness of knowing the truth but being unable to speak it without losing the relationship itself. Originally written for Netflix's Arcane series, it conveys the tragedy of silence and the burden of knowing someone won't listen.
Lyrics
If I could pause right here
I would open my heart
And tell you with no fear
That the path we have walked
Led us into the dark
There stood my god before me
Do you know what they said?
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
And that those that seek to go there are lost
The guiding lights (lights), they lead you on
And the road that leads to nowhere is long
If I could turn around
I would've told you the truth
It could've found its way
Through the powers that be
I just want you to see
There stands our god before us
Can't you hear them saying?
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
And that those that seek to go there are lost
The guiding lights (lights), they lead you on
And the road that leads to nowhere is long
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
That the road that leads to nowhere is long
