A day before the release, Dax took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his anticipation with fans. "‘Lonely Dirt Road’ drops tomorrow at 9am PT on YouTube.

The lyrics of "Lonely Dirt Road" take listeners on an introspective journey, using the metaphor of a secluded road as a refuge from life's pressures. With lines like "When I need space, that’s where I go / A place to escape that nobody knows," Dax captures the essence of finding solace in isolation. He reflects on the emotional toll of carrying unspoken burdens, grappling with responsibility, and the search for inner peace.
As the song progresses, Dax speaks of his struggle to reconcile his inner demons with the expectations placed on him as a provider and a man. With lines like, “I needed somewhere to take my mistakes / I didn’t want my family to see me cry,” Dax opens up about the pain of hiding his vulnerabilities while battling his own personal pressures. The dirt road becomes a symbolic place of spiritual reflection, where he confronts his past and searches for redemption.
