The High Road Lyrics Three Days Grace

Ever heard a song that makes you wanna simultaneously punch a wall and burst out laughing? Yeah, that's kinda the vibe I get from Three Days Grace's "The High Road."

It's Not Always the Moral One, Apparently

The title itself is a little tongue-in-cheek. Taking the "high road" usually means being the bigger person, right? Being mature and reasonable. But in this song? More like taking the high road...to *avoiding* responsibility.

Seriously, the lyrics are dripping with this almost self-aware irony. It's like the singer knows they're being a bit of a goofball, but they're kinda owning it anyway. A self-aware goofball, imagine that!

Blame Game Strong

One of the funniest things is how the singer deflects blame in creative ways. It's not their fault, oh no! It's everyone else! Or maybe it's just...circumstances. It's a masterclass in dodging accountability, delivered with the musical equivalent of a smirk.

Listen to lines like, "I’m just along for the ride, I don’t know what’s going on" and you’ll get what I mean. Pure comedic gold disguised as angsty rock!

A Dose of Dark Humor

The underlying message is almost cynical, but in a way that's darkly humorous. We've all been there, trying to wiggle our way out of a sticky situation. Denying everything and screaming you saw nothing.

The song kind of validates that feeling of wanting to just shrug and walk away from it all. Of course, in real life, that's probably not the best approach. But in a three-minute rock song? Totally acceptable.

Relatability Factor: Over 9000!

Despite the slightly questionable ethics on display, there's a surprising relatability to "The High Road." Who hasn't wanted to avoid a confrontation or responsibility at some point? The song taps into that universal desire to escape the messy parts of life. It's a bit like a pressure release valve for all the times we feel like running away.

And let's be honest, sometimes admitting you don’t know what is going on is better than pretending like you do. At least it shows some honesty!

More Than Just Angst

While the lyrics are undeniably angsty, there's also a layer of vulnerability hidden beneath the surface. It's not just about being rebellious; it's about feeling lost and overwhelmed.

The singer seems to be searching for something, even if they don't quite know what it is. That search for understanding is something many can identify with.

Beyond the Surface

So, the next time you hear "The High Road," don't just dismiss it as another angry rock song. Listen closely to the lyrics and appreciate the humor and the underlying vulnerability.

It is Three Days Grace at their most playfully subversive, reminding us that sometimes, the best way to deal with life's problems is to acknowledge that we don't always have the answers. And maybe, just maybe, to laugh about it a little bit.

It’s a good reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is space for a wry smile and a shrug. Who knew such a sentiment could rock so hard?
