Highway
Freedom Road: Chris Ware's Journey of Self-Discovery on the Open Highway
Lyrics
Driving these roads
Expressing the act of driving on roads
All on my own
Traveling alone
I need a little space
Seeking personal space or independence
So I try to get away
Attempting to escape or take a break
I'm riding this highway
Emphasizing the journey on a highway
All the way from DC to LA
Travelling a long distance from Washington, DC, to Los Angeles, CA
Trying to forget those memories
Trying to forget past experiences or moments
Cause I don't wanna listen when they tell me
Resistance to external opinions and advice
What it is
Rejecting imposed definitions of situations
What it ain't
Resisting clear distinctions of right and wrong
What to do and what to say
Defying societal expectations about actions and words
How to live and how to think
Opposition to conformity in lifestyle and thought
It just ain't me
Stating a deviation from one's true self
I just wanna do it my way ohhh
Desiring autonomy and the freedom to make choices
Do it my way, yeah
Reiteration of the desire to live life independently
I live too fast
Living life at a fast pace
And love too slow
Slow-paced approach to love and relationships
Running from the past
Avoiding or escaping from one's history or past
Cause I can't let it go
Struggling to detach from past experiences
I done had my heart broke a thousand times
Enduring multiple heartbreaks
Broke a couple hearts to replenish mine
Causing pain to others to heal personal wounds
Tripping on myself to the finish line
Facing challenges or obstacles until the end
This ain't a game to me
Emphasizing the seriousness of personal matters
No oh oh oh
Clarifying the importance of the situation
Driving these roads
Repeating the act of driving on roads alone
All on my own
Continuing the theme of solo travel
I need a little space
Expressing the need for personal space again
So I try to get away
Reiterating the attempt to escape or find solace
I'm riding this highway
Reemphasizing the journey on the highway
All the way from DC to LA
Repeating the extensive travel from DC to LA
Trying to forget those memories
Reiterating the desire to forget past memories
Cause I don't wanna listen when they tell me
Reaffirming the resistance to external influence
What it is
Restating the rejection of imposed definitions
What it ain't
Reiterating the resistance to clear distinctions
What to do and what to say
Reaffirming the defiance of societal expectations
How to live and how to think
Reiterating the opposition to conformity
It just ain't me
Reemphasizing the deviation from one's true self
I just wanna do it my way ohhh
Reiterating the desire for autonomy and freedom
Do it my way, yeah
Reiteration of the strong desire to live life independently
