Song by Virgile
(Verse 1)
Feel you’re stuck inside a drama
Every day you pay the price
Wonder if it might be karma
Wonder if it’s sacrifice
You cannot find a via media
Say the voice is in your head
Afraid of getting schizophrenia
May be best to stay in bed
(Pre-chorus 1)
It’s such a pretty curse
The screen is bright and so surreal
No time to cry if nothing hurts
You numb all the things
You don’t want to feel
(Chorus 1)
Forget your baggage and get ready to go
Just follow, follow the road
It’s just the price you have to pay for the toll
Just follow, follow the road
Don’t really have to choose
Don’t really have to win or loose
Just keep on walking
And someday you’ll be whole
Just follow, follow the road
Follow the road
(Verse 2)
Time is almost like a torture (torture)
When it’s running through your hands
Feel the panic rise inside you (oh no)
Feel too broke to take a stand
(Pre-chorus 2)
Wish you had a bit more cash
Wish you had just a few more years
You waste your money on wishes and whims
And your time’s wasted on all on your fears
(Chorus 2)
Forget your baggage and get ready to go
Just follow, follow the road
It’s just the price you have to pay for the toll
Just follow, follow the road
Don’t really have to choose
Don’t really have to win or loose
Just keep on walking
And someday you’ll be whole
Just follow, follow the road
Follow the road
Follow the road
(Bridge)
They tell you life can be rough
It doesn’t last long enough
You never have enough stuff
You think they can’t call your bluff
They tell you life can be rough
You can’t just live off the cuff
But when you die or give up
All that’s left is your stuff
(Chorus 3)
It doesn’t matter what direction you go
Just follow, follow the road
You’re just a human and you‘re out for a stroll
Just follow, follow the road
(Chorus 4)
Forget your baggage and get ready to go
Just follow, follow the road (follow the road)
It’s just the price you have to pay for the toll
Just follow, follow the road (just keep on walking)
Don’t really have to choose (no, no, no)
It’s not about if you win or loose
Just keep on walking
See, you’ll be whole
Just follow, follow the road
Follow the road

About Follow the Road
Song created by Virgile and Cléo in London while they were playing on their guitar and piano. They first worked on the melody. The top line of the chorus came evident very quickly and became the hook of the sound. The lyrics were first conceived by Virgile while on vacation in the mountains and shared later with Cléo; Alexandra optimized them and finalized them with Virgile. Follow the Road reminds that life can be harsh; the song suggests keeping on going and follow your paths despite difficulties.
