Side of the Road
Journey Through Love and Loss: Concrete Blonde's Side of the Road
Lyrics
Talk to me baby
Desire for communication and interaction
Say something nice
Request for positive or comforting words
Talk to me honey
Seeking guidance or support
I need your advice
Asking for advice or assistance
Never my fortune
Emphasis on lack of material wealth or external success
Never my fame
Emphasizing lack of fame
I don't wear diamonds
Indication of not possessing expensive items
I don't drink champagne
Not indulging in luxury or extravagance
I've learned a lot that I don't want to know
Accumulated knowledge that is unwanted
Take me back to where we were so long ago
Desire to return to a past time or state
Take me down easy
Request for a gentle and slow approach
Take me down slow
Desire for a gradual process
By the side of the road
Location reference suggesting a place of intimacy or significance
Slow me down baby
Request to decrease speed or pace
Drive for a while
Asking for a longer duration of driving
Pull over baby
Request to stop or pause the journey
I've put on my miles
Expressing accumulated experience or time spent
We're running and buzzing and talking about
Engagement in activities or conversations deemed unnecessary
All kinds of things I can do well without
Disinterest in certain topics or activities
Drive me to where we were so long ago
Desire to revisit a past location or memory
Bottle of wine and I'm ready to go
Preparedness to relive past experiences with alcohol
Lets have a drink to the car radio
Suggesting enjoying music in a familiar place
By the side of the road
Reiterating the location's importance
I can remember
Recollection of past joyful moments
Us laughing in bed
Remembering shared laughter in a close setting
Hung over
Recalling a time of recovering from drinking
Happy
Being content despite a hangover
And holding our heads
Intimate moment of being close and recovering
We didn't care about what people said
Disregard for public opinions during happier times
It's hard recognizing a dream that's gone dead
Difficulty acknowledging the loss of a dream or aspiration
Me and my liquor
Reliance on alcohol in isolation
Feeling alone
Feeling solitary without direction
Nowhere to go
Expressing a sense of being lost
So I guess I'll go
Acceptance of leaving due to lack of options
You were the first and the only one
Recognition of someone significant in a specific place
By the side of the road
Emphasis on the importance of a particular location
By the side of the road
Reiteration of significance of the place
By the side of the road
Final emphasis on the place's importance
