Discover the story of the song > Highways – Bruno Merz

The lyrics are about a quietness descending as the world faces challenges like rising seas and broken fields. In the midst of all this chaos, the protagonist hears a stillness and a whisper telling people to "turn away" from the destruction. They encourage others to lift up their heads, uncover their eyes, and embrace the idea that there is more to us than what we see. The protagonist acknowledges that they can't see where they are going, but they are not bothered because their feet will find a path of love leading them to their partner.
