Open Road Song
EVE 6 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as it sinks on the pedal
I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl, don't need a friend
Cause my friend Lonesome's unconditional
We're flying forever bored
And for a moment I love everything that I see and think and feel
I love my broken side view mirror
Cause it's so perfect I'm so perfect you're so perfect you're not here
I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
The night is beckoning
Although I have nowhere to go but home
Feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
If I could frame my mind
Where would it hang?
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
I crack a window and feel the cool air cleanse my every pore
As I pour my poor heart out
To a radio song that's patient and willing to listen
My volume drowns it out
Yeah, but that's O.K. cause I sound better than him anyway, any day
Yeah, my voice is as sweet as salt
I search for comfort and I find it where I've found it many times before
Times before can be forgotten
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
The EVE 6 song "Open Road Song" details a solo road trip where the singer experiences a range of emotions while driving. The singer is feeling ambitious and decides to hit the gas pedal to the floor with his car, causing it to shake as he speeds down the open road. In this moment of freedom, he is alone and feels he doesn't need anyone because his loneliness is always there for him. He embraces his broken side view mirror because it serves as a reminder for him that things don't have to be perfect to still be beautiful. The change in gears adds to the sounds and sensations he's experiencing, as he drives with no particular destination in mind.
As he drives, he begins to think about the state of his mind and how it relates to his surroundings. He acknowledges that he has nowhere specific to go, but the feeling of being on the open road and having nowhere to be is a freedom he never wants to forget. Each turn leads to a new mental space, and he wonders if he could "frame" his thoughts, where would they hang?
Throughout the song, the singer is deeply connected to the environment around him. He rolls down his window to feel the cool air and allow it to cleanse his every pore. He sings along to the radio, talking about how his voice is as sweet as salt. He searches for comfort and remembers that he's found it many times before on the open road.

I don't need a girl
Don't need a friend
'Cause my friend lonesome's unconditional
We're flying forever bored
And for a moment I love everything
That I see and think and feel
I love my broken side view mirror
'Cause it's so perfect
I'm so perfect
You're so perfect
You're not here
I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song

Although I have nowhere to go but home
Feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
If I could frame my mind

Did you hear? Mike Dexter broke up with Amanda Becket? I owned this movie on vhs and now own it on dvd and its still one of my favorites of the 90s as I was a junior in high school when this movie came out.

I remember being proud of the fact that I was repping Eve 6 from Australia well before that flick came out. But wow those were good times in general.
@charliesmash
Love that movie.
@Robinssoncravents
Best teen movie ever!

As a kid who just wanted to drive away from it all in the late 90s, this was my jam. Absolutely my jam.
