Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Open Road" by North of Nine is about two people who have been through a lot together, but are still holding on to their love. The lyrics suggest that despite the hardships they have faced, they are both afraid of losing each other. The opening lines, "Why do I keep holding on, when all I do is slip" portray the struggle of maintaining a relationship despite the ups and downs. The following lines, "we've been here so long, we should know that we're both afraid of the dark" reinforce their fear of losing what they have built together despite knowing each other for so long.
The chorus of the song, "Life's an open road, and everything we made we've known, we're in this love together" suggests that life is unpredictable, like an open road. However, their love for each other is the constant that is holding them together, and they are prepared for whatever comes their way. The tone of the song is uplifting, with the bridge "and baby I aint here for you, so don't you be afraid, and baby I've been going crazy every day" suggesting that despite the challenges they face, they are willing to work through them together.
