Side Roads
Jose Vanders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause they are the most suitable way
To there where we all want to be
Without waiting unnecessarily
We all sit waiting in lines
Wasting our time
Waiting for someone
We all pray that one sunny day
And we see that we found them
But we're all waiting for someone
Waiting for no one
We store away our spelt (?) hearts
That we save for our broken hearts
Just in case our love line don't flow (?)
Through our fingers, our souls and our bones
We all sit waiting in lines
Wasting our time
Waiting for someone
We all pray that one sunny day
We have love in our eyes
And we see that we found them
But we're all waiting for someone
Waiting for no one
We're waiting for no one
We're waiting for no one
We're waiting for no one
We all sit waiting in lines
Wasting our time
Waiting for someone
We all pray that one sunny day
We have love in our eyes
And we see that we found them
But we're all waiting for someone
Waiting for no one
Side roads are the ones that we take
Cause they know what it means to wait
On the main road waiting for no shows
Waiting for no one
In "Side Roads", Jose Vanders reflects on the universal human experience of waiting, particularly waiting for love. She suggests that instead of waiting in lines and wasting time, we should take the side roads. These are the unconventional paths that may take us longer to reach our desired destination but are often the most suitable and fulfilling ways. Throughout the song, the repetitive refrain emphasizes that we are all waiting for someone and that love is worth the wait. The line "We store away our spelt (?) hearts" suggests that we may have been hurt in the past and are now saving our hearts for the person who is worth the risk of being vulnerable again.
The image of waiting in lines on the main road waiting is contrasted with the idea of taking side roads. The main road represents conformity and a lack of individuality, while the side roads represent uniqueness and personal growth. The side roads are the journey where we explore and discover our authentic selves, which is often the most fulfilling aspect of life.
Overall, "Side Roads" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages the listener to embrace their individuality and take the less conventional route in life.
