![]() ![]() The songwriter wrote the song when his girlfriend of a few years decided to break up with him and move to South America and it had a big impact on him that he felt lost and didn't know how to handle the break-up or go back out into life again. What is really stuck is the person in the situation who is stuck in that situation and has to try to make the most of it. He is thrown into the situation and has no choice but to consider the two directions suddenly laid out before him and it is a reluctant point in his journey. The fork's position on the road is that point where our road splits in two different directions and 'stuck' indicates that the fork cannot be undone, that this split on the road is outside of the person's ability to wish it away. ![]() The 'a fork stuck in the road' verse is a metaphor to indicate the juncture in our lives where the road we have been comfortably travelling on the journey of life abruptly splits in two different directions and the traveller is now forced to make a fateful decision on which of the two directions to take, not knowing where each of the two roads might take him. So what does it mean "a fork stuck in the road"? It makes sense to me, but it got three times more down votes than up votes. "Hey, somebody should tell Alanis that every time you hear the rolling thunder, it means the lightning already missed you. It says the right phrase to use is "a fork in the road", and it also makes reference to the "Good Is Good" song to show it is just another mistake made by the songwriter. I've looked up the Urban Dictionary and foundĪny exceptionally stupid or illiterate phrase found in a pop song. The point where something, especially a road or (North American) river, divides into two parts. Why there's a fork stuck in the road? is it some metaphor?

Up until now, every episode felt like an injection of pure testosterone (and let's be honest: sometimes, that's just what the doctor ordered). ![]() The production values are among the best I've seen on TV and the cast is fantastic. Granted, it's pulpy, trashy, sometimes even down-right ridiculous – but I loved every minute of it so far. This show is raw, gritty, brutal and over-the-top it's got everything most action films lack these days – and it's absolutely NOT PG-13. What I got instead is high-octane pulp cinema that gets your heart pumpin' with adrenalin from the first second, and an opening chase/shoot-out that wouldn't have to hide behind any mega-budget action production Hollywood has churned out recently. When I started to watch the first episode, I expected a decent, but low budget 'neo-noir' crime show with some sexy women and a few good shoot-outs. It has its fans, sure, but as far as the amount of steady viewers is concerned, it's nowhere near playing in the big leagues – yet. It's amazing this show hasn't found a bigger audience. ![]() That's what happened to me with 'Banshee'. Every once in a while a show comes along that catches you completely off guard you only want to check out the pilot because you've read a comment or two on IMDb comparing it to some other show you kinda like – and BOOM: you're blown away. ![]()
