Den handlar om allt du söker.
I can't hide myself, I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain what it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road, and they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel, but what you provide inside that home
Yeah, I know this life can really beat you down, uh
You wanna scream, but you won't make a sound, uh
Got so much weight that you've been holdin'
But won't show any emotion, as a man, that goes unspoken
That we can't cry when life gets hard
Unconditional love for women, children, and dogs
We know that we just have to play our parts
And don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah
As a man, we gotta pave our way
Our only function is to work and slave
There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
And when you try to explain, you'll say
I can't hide myself, I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain what it's like to be a man (what it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (it's a lonely road)
And they don't care 'bout what you know (care 'bout what you know)
It's not 'bout how you feel, but what you provide inside that home
Don't give up, keep fightin', as a man, our son is our horizon
And our fathers' actions play a role, and we end up like him
So they can't let us see them hurt
'Cause they'll embody what we do and start a generational curse
No wonder most men are so depressed, all the things that they can't express
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf, then go back to war with they mental health
Then grab that bottle and ask for help, try to pull themselves outta hell
Then fall back down and then realize that they gon' have to do it themselves
It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
And that's when they start cryin'
Then move on to a man to confide in, that's why we feel
We can't hide ourselves, we don't expect you to understand
We just hope we can explain what it's like to be a man (what it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (it's a lonely road)
And you don't care 'bout what we know (care 'bout what we know)
It's not 'bout how we feel, but what we provide inside that home (inside that home) that home
It's not 'bout how we feel, but what we provide inside that home (inside that home)
Dax med ”Lonely dirt road” handlar också om mannen, hans styrka, sårbarhet, döden..
When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
I didn't want my family to see me cry
They'll never know I'm carrying all of this weight
Dealing with the pressure of trying to provide
No sign of struggle can show on my face
They ask if I'm okay, I just flash them a smile
Fire up that engine to take me away
I'm speeding through emotions with every mile
On that road is where I find my peace
I remember daddy told me 'bout sometimes like these
On that road is where my mind's at ease
I keep driving life away, rejecting change, so
When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
I tried my best to plant the seeds and then
I watered everything that was in my life
But as a man, the only flowers that you get are
When you're six feet under on the day you die
I think I feel the pain my father felt, it's finally sinking in
Looking back, all I see is his eyes
He said that house is not a home unless you build it
On respect with some kids and a loving wife
If these walls could talk, I bet they'd say it's all my fault
That I don't try hard
That I ain't man enough, that I ain't standing up
That I just burn everything that my hands touch, oh
If these walls could talk, I bet they'd say I'm to blame
That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
That my addictive personality's what ran them away
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet and not explaining
I'm broken in places I can't even see
I know there's gotta be a heaven 'cause the hell that's in me
Is taking a dangerous toll, that I'm paying with all of my soul
When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
Hela låten kanske inte passar men första stycket är ganska mäktigt.
Tyranny of the inevitable av Destroyer
I remember just last night
We drunk and we fucked whores
And I remember some prayed to their gods
For they knew that tomorrow
We marched into Hell
Death you have followed me
Followed me all these years
Kept the noose about my neck
And prayed upon my fears
Then came the flames
A man of the cloth came to pray for me
Telling me tales of salvation
To curse my death with morality
And tell his lies of redemption
But our spirit dies in mothers tears
And in our brothers heart
And maybe women will tell tales of our lust
As we fall into blood and dust
Who'll stand at the edge of my grave
When the cold winter calls
Who'll stand at the edge of my grave
Who'll weather this storm i stand alone
I stand alone
Death is a curse that has followed me
Death is a curse that has followed me
The tyranny of the inevitable
Stands upon us like the cross on our graves
A curse of the living on death
Not something to fear but transgress
For whom the bell tolls indeed
The bells toll for me then came the flames
Now I've come to see it's not real
In a world where beliefs are diseased
Now I see clearly the sky above
And I can't see your God and your alone
For whom the bells toll indeed
The bells toll for me
For whom the bells toll indeed
The bells toll for me
