It's like Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', he's building a psychological wall around himself.Īt the end, he finally tears down the wall and decides the depression will pass. It appeared on the 1991 album No More Tears through Epic Records. In other words, he isn't saying 'I wish I had never been born'.Īs for the 'road to nowhere' part, I think he's saying he's trapped by his old habits.he isn't making any progress because his past keeps coming back to haunt him. Road To Nowhere is a song by English singer Ozzy Osbourne. His alcoholism, drug abuse, and depression still haunt him.he can't forgive himself and move on with his life.he hasn't learned to 'live for today and not tomorrow'.ĭespite that, he decides life has been worth the ride and he would do it all again if he had the choice. In the second verse ('the wreckage of my past keeps haunting me'), he can't let go of his past. He still finds life a mystery.still looking for 'the meaning of life'.

I love the guitar work on it.Īs coconut said, Ozzy is looking back on his life and the mistakes he's made. General CommentI can't believe more people haven't commented on this song. The road to nowhere leads to me Ah ah, the road to nowhere's gonna pass me by Ah ah, I hope we never have to say goodbye I never want to live without you (oh yeah) The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me It just won't leave me alone I still find it all a mystery Could it be a dream The road to nowhere leads to me The road to nowhere leads to. I never want to live without you (oh yeah) The wreckage of my past keeps haunting meĪh ah, the road to nowhere's gonna pass me byĪh ah, I hope we never have to say goodbye
