- The High Road LyricsWe're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own
The Garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a bow
I don't know if you're dead or not
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes,
This army has so many heads
To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head...
[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own
The Garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a bow
I don't know if you're dead or not
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes,
This army has so many heads
To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head...
[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
To anyone...
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the Broken Bells song "The High Road" embraces the idea of obstacles and hard decisions in an individual’s life. The metaphors which the writers have employed 'the high road' and 'detour in your new life' to imply to the listener, the acceptance of a less traveled road that brings more satisfaction, even if it involves parting with what is familiar and burying past regrets. The high road lyrics are predominantly about love and loss, thinking aloud, social critique, and utter hopelessness. However, simultaneously, the song accentuates the positives that come out of the negatives; struggle and conflict, loss and acceptance, and self-discovery.
