about

The inspiration for this song came from an old computer game set in the Wild West that Pernilla played as a child. The point of the game was to try and get out of a small town where the train rails were broken. We changed the lyrics in the end but kept the Wild West feeling of the song.

lyrics

Walking round the ghost town, with a restless heart
How did I get stuck here, while others made it far?
My mind is set on leaving this solitary place

But the broken rails of this town lead nowhere
And it seems like I'm not getting out of here, out of here

My friends told me to leave here, my dad said I should stay
It's safe for you to be here, where people know your name
So I set out through the desert, I just had to leave this place

Because the broken rails of this town lead nowhere
Wanna be somebody that I can't be here, can't be here

And many years went by, when I was looking for myself
But didn't seem to find me in any other place
I slowly started longing for the place I once called home

But the broken rails of my life lead nowhere
And it feels like I'm not getting anywhere, anywhere
