Open Road
Sons Of Levin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our bags are packed with wine and styrofoam
And we groove
Like we've got nothing to prove
Stereo plays what the Dj queues
We are the wunderkind under a strange voodoo
And we drive
A snapshot in a moment of existence
An era of the line of least resistance
Ride baby ride
Rock n roll
I don't care if we're about to explode
Sing baby sing
Release your soul
Onto the open road
Looking for a place to rest your eyes
You pull your phone out from between your thighs
And you smile
Its just another mile
Morning kisses taste like coffee breath
For lunch we share your last cigarette
And its old
But still feels fresh and bold
A snapshot in a moment of existence
An era of the line of least resistance
Ride baby ride
Rock n roll
I don't care if we're about to explode
Sing baby sing
Release your soul
Onto the open road
Reaching out the open window
Close your eyes upon the sun
We're built for romance
We're built for kicking ass
We're built to run till we run out of gas
Ride baby ride
Rock n roll
I don't care if we're about to explode
Sing baby sing
Release your soul
Onto the open road
The lyrics of Sons Of Levin's song "Open Road" convey a sense of freedom, adventure, and living life to the fullest. The opening lines, "I don't care if we're far from home, our bags are packed with wine and styrofoam," suggest a carefree attitude, indicating that the singer is not concerned about their current location or material possessions. The imagery of wine and styrofoam in their bags represents a simpler and more spontaneous lifestyle.
The lyrics continue to highlight the joy and liberation the singer feels as they "groove like we've got nothing to prove." This line suggests a sense of confidence and self-assuredness, as they move through life without worrying about judgment or expectations. The mention of a DJ and the term "wunderkind under a strange voodoo" evokes a sense of being caught up in the magic and energy of music, further enhancing the idea of being free-spirited and unbound.
The second verse describes the everyday moments of a road trip, such as pulling out a phone for directions, sharing a last cigarette for lunch, or enjoying morning kisses with the taste of coffee breath. These small details paint a picture of a relationship or friendship in which the mundane moments become meaningful and cherished. The line "An era of the line of least resistance" suggests that the singer is embracing a more effortless approach to life, choosing to focus on the present rather than constantly striving for something greater.
The chorus, "Ride baby ride, rock n roll, I don't care if we're about to explode, sing baby sing, release your soul onto the open road," encapsulates the overall message of the song. It encourages embracing the thrill of the journey, not worrying about the consequences, and finding solace and freedom through self-expression. The open road becomes a metaphor for personal liberation and escape from societal boundaries.
The final verse portrays a sense of rebellion and defiance as the singers reach out of the open window, closing their eyes upon the sun. The lines "We're built for romance, we're built for kicking ass, we're built to run till we run out of gas" emphasize a desire to live life passionately and boldly without constraint. The repetition of the chorus at the end reinforces the core message of the song, urging the listener to let go, sing, and release their soul onto the open road.

I don't care if we're far from home
Distance from home is insignificant to us
Our bags are packed with wine and styrofoam
We are ready for adventure with provisions of wine and practicality
And we groove
We move with rhythm and harmony
Like we've got nothing to prove
We act confidently and without the need for validation
Stereo plays what the DJ queues
We surrender to the music the DJ selects
We are the wunderkind under a strange voodoo
We are youthful and enchanted, under an unusual spell
And we drive
We continue moving forward
Living enough to survive
We exist with just enough to sustain ourselves
A snapshot in a moment of existence
We capture a brief moment in time
An era of the line of least resistance
We live in a time where following the easiest path is common
Ride baby ride
Embrace the journey with enthusiasm
Rock n roll
Live with rebellious spirit
I don't care if we're about to explode
We are unafraid, even if danger lurks
Sing baby sing
Express yourself through music and song
Release your soul
Let go of inhibitions and be free
Onto the open road
Embark on the adventure ahead
Looking for a place to rest your eyes
Searching for a spot to find solace and relaxation
You pull your phone out from between your thighs
Retrieving your phone from a personal and intimate location
And you smile
You find joy and contentment
It's just another mile
This is merely a short distance to overcome
Morning kisses taste like coffee breath
The intimate act of kissing in the morning with coffee-flavored breath
For lunch we share your last cigarette
We bond over a shared moment of scarcity and indulgence
And it's old
The cigarette is aged and used
But still feels fresh and bold
Yet, it still possesses a vibrant and daring essence
Reaching out the open window
Extending ourselves towards freedom and fresh air
Close your eyes upon the sun
Shutting out the glare of reality and embracing the warmth
We're built for romance
We are naturally inclined towards love and passionate connections
We're built for kicking ass
We possess strength and determination to overcome challenges
We're built to run till we run out of gas
We are designed to keep going until our energy is depleted
