Journey
"Journey" is a song by LorD and Master, appearing in the twelfth original studio album, Fractured. The song is about a great journey undertaken by as all and the metaphor is extended to say that we're always learning in life. The idea came from LorD and Master's love of being driven places, taking in sights and enjoying the scenery slide by. The song includes a main lead guitar line, which is actually a synthesiser, while the strummed guitar, which follows the chords, is a set of playable samples. The song also includes a line taken from Bethesda's post-apocalyptic role-playing game, Fallout 4; a character you buy goods from throughout the game (unless you steal from her or kill her, obviously) asks the protagonist, "Need to pick something up? Road's pretty long from here." Indeed it is.
Lyrics
No one knows where the journey begins Everyone struggles to try to fit in Another day with the end nowhere near The road’s pretty long from here Do you remember where the journey began We started rolling like a cameraman Cutting a path through the haze of the heat We’ve got our favourite song on repeat We’re on a journey Nothing’s stopping us learning Keep up with the world As it’s turning Time is on fire and we’re burning No one knows where the journey begins Everyone struggles to try to fit in Another day with the end nowhere near The road’s pretty long from here Do you remember where the journey began We started rolling like a cameraman Cutting a path through the haze of the heat We’ve got our favourite song on repeat We’re on a journey Nothing’s stopping us learning Keep up with the world As it’s turning Time is on fire and we’re burning
