Meaning of "Lighting the Way" by Superdrag

The lyrics "I've been lighting the way, With bridges burning low, now" convey a sense of leading the path forward while simultaneously destroying potential avenues for retreat. This may symbolize a time in the narrator's life where they were both moving forward and self-destructing at the same time. The repetition of "If I can make things right, I'm gonna do it my way" reflects a determination to take control of their own destiny and make amends. The line "Like you put a price on everything you do. Like a song that ain't worth singing" suggests a sense of worthlessness and feeling undervalued, perhaps hinting at a strained relationship or unfulfilling endeavors. The urgency and repetition in the chorus convey a strong desire to find something of value to bring back to someone important, highlighting the importance of redemption and meaningful connection.
