Roadside Crosses
Journey to Freedom: Roadside Crosses Unveiling Life's Edge
Lyrics
Roadside crosses stretch out along the highway
Roadside crosses symbolize memorials along the highway.
Faded plastic flowers, hand-painted names
Faded plastic flowers and hand-painted names adorn the memorials.
And the cars go on for miles
The highway is busy with cars extending for miles.
And the end you can't see
The destination or conclusion is obscured or unknown.
We're all tryna get somewhere
People are all striving to reach a destination.
We're tryna get what we need
Everyone is trying to fulfill their needs.
Everything is just over the edge
Existence is precarious, hanging on the edge.
Everything is just out of reach
Goals and aspirations seem just out of grasp.
Soon as I can cross that line
The desire to overcome obstacles and boundaries.
Then I will find you
Expresses determination to find someone.
And you will find me
Reciprocal action, emphasizing connection.
And we will finally be free
The anticipation of achieving freedom together.
If only...
A sense of longing or regret for what could have been.
Sometimes the light in a fog
Comparing the light in a fog to love that may be unclear or obscured.
Is just love in vain
Love may sometimes be unreciprocated or not realized.
Sometimes the line to be crossed
Some boundaries are created through painful experiences.
Was drawn with pain
Emphasizes the difficulty of crossing certain lines.
Like a desert mirage
Comparing a mirage to the elusive nature of certain goals.
You appear before me
The person or goal appears unexpectedly.
Like the most beautiful sunset
A metaphor for a beautiful but fleeting moment.
Hanging over my last meal
The beauty of the sunset juxtaposed with a somber reality.
Everything is just over the edge
Reiterating the precarious nature of existence.
Everything is just out of reach
Goals and desires remain just out of reach.
Soon as I can cross that line
A determination to overcome obstacles and reach the goal.
Then I will find you
Reaffirming the commitment to finding someone.
And you will find me
Emphasizes the reciprocity of the search.
And we will finally be free
Achieving freedom together is the ultimate goal.
If only it was that easy
Acknowledges the difficulty of the journey.
If only...
Reiteration of a sense of longing or regret.
Roadside crosses...
Repeating the symbolism of roadside crosses.
Put up a roadside cross for me, baby
An appeal to be remembered through a roadside cross.
