No Roads Left Lyrics

Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind?
Why Am I searching for perfection?
Knowing it's something I won't find

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because

[Chorus]
I run
Till the silence splits me...

    I think song is not about a man who is just running some path in his life but running away from his problems, until he has no choices but to to face them.

    I rather think this song is about a person highly disappointed with his/her life... so he/she drops himself/herself. This person feels lost, and keeps it all for him/her... until the silence, pain and sadness grows suicide. (this song really touched me, because I recognized myself in it) :(

    This song is basically saying that you can't run away from your problems. You have to confront them.

    It's using travel along a road as a metaphor for life and something in his life which he believes will kill him, as one of the lines says "until it puts me underground, where theres no roads left to go".

    The song is sung entirely by Mike Shinoda, himself. The song is basically how he's searching for a path or a road in his life to actually travel or run on. And there's only one road left for him to travel on.
