Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, Yeah!
Ain't nobody owns me
Lord, I do just like I please
Ain't nobody tells me, baby
Cause I live my life with the greatest of ease.
Nobody helps me
I take what I need
Nobody can catch me
'Cause I'm on my good knees.
Adventures in these times so hard
Can light up the dark and they can carry you far
Adventures can change your life
Can light up the night and make you feel alright.
Nobody hurts me, baby
'Cause I know that I'm gonna win, yay (yes I am)
And everybody knows
Yeah, they all know where I been.
Everybody laughs
'Cause it's all fun
I'm just hopin' I be happy I won.
Adventures in these times so hard
Can light up the dark, can carry you far
Adventures can change your life
Can light up the night and make you feel alright.
Just like the heroes on the movie screen
We're all King so I live in our dream, Yeah!
Alright!
Said, Adventures....
Hey,dude! (yeah) Do you wanna be a king? (well yeah)
And I said now, now, hey, lady!
Oh, would you like to be a queen?
But if you want to be king (whistle)
And if you, if you wanna be a queen,
Well then you got to, you got to follow your dreams (well yeah, yeah!)
....in these times so hard
Can light up the dark, can carry you far

In "Adventure," The Blue's lead singer Dickie Peterson exemplifies his independence and free-spiritedness. He is declaring that he cannot be owned by anyone or anything, and he lives life on his own terms. He also explains that he is self-sufficient by stating that he takes what he needs in life, and nobody can catch him. He supports the notion that life should be an adventure, and one can be carried far with it. These adventures can help someone see the light despite difficult times, and they can potentially change one's life. Peterson likens himself to the movie screen heroes and claims that we are all kings and queens living in our dream.
The message of the song is about living freely, being adventurous and independent, and taking control of one's life. Peterson encourages his listeners to follow their dreams to become a king or queen, to change their lives, and to light up the world. The song has an upbeat rhythm that fits perfectly with the optimistic message it promotes.
