The Road So Far
The Road So Far: A Journey of Family, Demons, and Vengeance
Lyrics
John and Mary
Introduction of characters John and Mary
Husband and wife
Describing the relationship between John and Mary as husband and wife
Bringing home a brand new life
They are welcoming a new life into their family
His name is Sammy
Introducing the newborn named Sammy
I'm big brother, Dean
Dean is introduced as the older brother of Sammy
The perfect family
Initially portraying the family as perfect
Or so it seemed
Suggesting that the perfect family image is not as it seems
The demon's visits had begun
Describing the beginning of visits from a demon
It believed Sam was the chosen one
The demon believes Sam is a chosen one for some ominous purpose
It burned my mother
Recounting an incident where the demon harms the mother
And it cursed my brother
Referring to a curse placed on Sam by the demon
Leaving us in tears
Resulting in the family being left in tears
On the road so far
Beginning the journey on the road
Yeah the road so far
Repetition of "On the road so far," possibly emphasizing the ongoing journey
We are in dad's car
The family is in the father's car
On the road so far
Reiteration of the ongoing journey on the road
Dad was driven
Describing the father's determination and drive
No turning back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the journey
He wouldn't stop without the payback
Father's commitment to seek revenge or justice
He trained us both to track and hunt and kill
Detailing the father's training of his children in hunting
He took away our own free will
Highlighting the loss of their own free will due to the father's influence
So that's where we are,
Reiterating the family's current location on the road
On he road so far
Repetition of "On the road so far," emphasizing the continuing journey
Saving people, hunting things,
Stating the family's mission of saving people and hunting supernatural entities
The family business
Referring to this mission as the "family business" that is back in full swing
Back in swing
Expressing a sense of purpose and commitment to the mission
Driving down the road so far
Closing with a final reference to driving down the road
