“If there was a better way to go then it would find me. I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me”
— Fiona Apple
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes in life, we feel like we're just going along with the flow, not having a clear direction or plan. This is like walking down a road that keeps forming behind us as we move forward. It suggests feeling a bit lost or unsure about our future. Imagine a student who doesn’t know what career to choose. They might try different jobs and experiences, not because they have a perfect plan, but because they are exploring and hoping to find the right path eventually. The advice here is to keep going and trying things out. Over time, the path or journey of your life will become clearer just by continuing to move forward. Instead of worrying too much about finding the perfect way immediately, trust that by moving forward, you will discover opportunities and make progress.
