VANITY PROJECT

- By The Roadside Lyrics

She was the most
Beautiful woman I'd ever known
She was the most
Beautiful woman I'd ever known

She died by the roadside, I cried
She was a princess, defenseless
And now, there's a senseless crime

She was the most
Beautiful woman he'd never known
She was the most
Beautiful woman he'd never known

She died by the roadside
He tried to deny that he was guilty
Till he called anonymously

When they found him asleep in his car
At the side of a road with her dreams in a jar
He knew from the cuffs on the wrists
That he'd never existed till now

After searching her place
They dismissed his case
They'd found her note
That's all she wrote

What is the meaning behind By The Roadside lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, the Vanity Project's 'By The Roadside' is telling a sad story of the death of a beautiful woman who was essentially a victim of fate and the ensuing scratching of the perpetrator's conscience and his anonymous confession. The poetical imagery employed here includes 'dreams in a jar' which stands for lost talent and 'he'd never existed till now' which expresses the heaviness of his conscience. The lyrics of By the roadside are primarily focusing on love lost, hopelessness, person's troubles, anger and self-examination. Besides that, the song puts forward the themes of tragedy and loss, innocence and guilt as well as justice and closure. The song lyrics deal with the matters of crime, death, and guilt, which are all considered adult topics. Moreover, there are hints of finding someone 'asleep in his car' and 'cuffs on the wrists' which suggest the involvement of the police and possible illegal activity. These aspects indicate a PG-13 rating, meaning that some content might not be suitable for children below 13 years of age.
