It is poetic, so the meaning is not literal, it's figurative. You can think of your life as a path. When you walk along this path, it twists and turns ahead of you, through trees and around bends... it is as if the path of your life is all rolled up when you are born, and as you live it unrolls in front of you, revealing itself just a little at a time as you live it. This is what the song means by "the path unwinding". It's the path of life, that only unwinds (unrolls) as you travel it.
