I got four poetic devices from this poem. The main one, "Life is a highway", is a metaphor because its referring life to how a highway works. Another device in the song was, "There's a world outside every darkened door". This line of the song was alliteration. There was also an example of allusion in the song. The line goes "The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's Peak". The last one was, "There's no load I can't hold", and it is a Hyperbole because you can't really hold just anything.
I think that in this song the guy is saying that there's so much for us out in the world for us. That's what he means when he says life is a highway. On a highway you don't have as much limitations as on other roads. In our lives we can and need to reach the best of our potential because we have the freedom to. Just like you have more freedom on a highway (for example you drive faster).
I also think he's saying that you should enjoy life. Be positive and happy, just like you may enjoy your freedom to drive faster on a highway.
