Listen to “Dark Road” by Annie Lennox (”Dark Road” video)
Annie Lennox’s fourth studio album in fifteen years, Songs of Mass Destruction, is a sparkling gem of an album along the vein of music Annie Lennox has since come to be known for. Packed with songs that weave wistful meanderings on a variety of issues including love’s labors lost and relationships on a global scale, Songs of Mass Destruction is a more-than-fitting addition to Lennox’s portfolio. Coming in from Bare, the previous album, Songs of Mass Destruction reads almost like a continuation, albeit not as stripped down but just as melancholy.Dark Road is the first single off Songs of Mass Destruction. Produced by Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, Aerosmith, Wilson Phillips), Dark Road and its video dwell on relationships lost and potentials wasted. The single debuted outside the UK Top 40, but continues to pick up in airplay. Get additional information on Annie Lennox’s Dark Road here.

DARK ROAD Lyrics
Annie Lennox
It’s a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You’re never gonna find me there oh no
I’ve got an open door
It didn’t get there by itself
It didn’t get there by itself
There’s a feelin
But you’re not feelin’ it at all
There’s a meaning
But you’re not listening any more
I look at that open road
I’m gonna walk there by myself
And if you catch me
I might try to run away
You know I can’t be here too long
And if you let me
I might try to make you stay
Seems you never realize a good thing
Till it’s gone
Maybe im still searching
But I don’t know what it means
All the fires of destruction are still
Burnin’ in my dreams
There’s no water that can wash away
This longin’ to come clean
Hey yea yea….
I cant find the joy within my soul
It’s just sadness taking hold
I wanna come in from the cold
And make myself renewed again
It takes strength to live this way
The same old madness every day
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again…
It’s a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You’re never gonna find me there oh no
I’ve got an open door
It didn’t get there by itself
It didn’t get there by itself
