Open Road
Adam Derry Lyrics

Down an open road
The journey described in the song is on an unmarked path, with no clear destination in sight.

You don't have to go
The path isn't particularly long, difficult or inaccessible.

Very far to find the great unknown
The path may lead to new discoveries and opportunities that are unfamiliar and exciting.

I've outgrown, my only home
The artist has outgrown and left behind the familiar, comfortable places and experiences that once defined them.

I'm not gonna find me 'til I'm all alone
The journey is a personal, inner one that requires solitude and introspection.

God, I wanna thank you for today
The singer expresses gratitude for the present moment and its possibilities.

I think I'm a little bit lonely and a whole lot afraid
The singer acknowledges feeling emotionally vulnerable and unsure about the future.

I just want to know, am I doing okay?
The artist seeks validation and reassurance that their choices and path are the right ones.

There comes a time when you've gotta go your own way
The artist accepts that it's necessary to break away from the expectations and directions of others in order to pursue their own goals.

I hear a melody
The artist perceives signs and omens in their environment that point toward their purpose or destination.

It's singing silently through tiny spaces 'tween the leaves of the evergreens
The clues to the path are subtle and unobtrusive, like a song playing faintly in the background.

All of the dust around me just falling to dust again
The artist is aware of the transience and fleeting nature of existence, and is seeking a higher, more meaningful purpose.

And I feel the boy inside me turning into a man
The singer is undergoing a process of growth and transformation, maturing into a more confident and self-assured person.

So, it's this time
The singer recognizes the opportunity presented here and now.

This sun shining
The singer is aware of the positive energy and warmth radiating from the surroundings.

This way
The artist has a sense of direction and purpose.

This day breaking
The artist is experiencing the beginning of a new phase of their life.

It's my chance
The singer sees this moment as a pivotal opportunity to change their life.

The one worth taking
The singer believes that this choice is the right one, even though it involves risk and uncertainty.

It's my life
The artist is taking ownership of their destiny and personal growth.

My great awakening
The artist views this journey as a transformative experience that will awaken them to new possibilities and perspectives.

Here I go
The artist is taking the first steps on this path of discovery, embracing the unknown and the possibilities it brings.
