I think this is about a girl (Dirt Road) who is forced to marry someone she doesn't love. "She Barely Knew Your Name" could mean that she doesn't have any interest in him. "He was just a city, she's just a dirt road." We discover here that she is in love with another person a (City) who loves her back, but she can't be with him because she has to marry the other guy. The guy is a city and her a dirt road simply means they are different, possibly even opposites. "But that never meant a thing" (but this difference doesn't matter to them). 'Running from the country, she needed out, but He held that diamond ring" She wanted to leave, to run away, to be with her lover, but the other guy had already proposed Cause I can't sit. oh I can't talk I gotta leave this town and run to you Curse these nights that speak your name I gotta leave this town and come to you Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh) Ha ha ha Break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh) I think this part is her conscience talking to her, wanting to leave this hellhole to run away to her lover. She wants to leave town to run to him and wants to Break this curse, of being forced into marrying someone she doesn't love back. "He was such a worry No need to hurry" This guy she has to marry was a worry, a problem, so she decided to leave, she told her lover that she was going to run away to be with him, but he was scared for her and advised her not to. "Those streets are slick at night" It’s nighttime, and the streets are dangerous and slippery because the rain. "She would never listen" She didn't listen to him "Oh, your eyes look tired But love was all she knew Screaming out in agony she gave her life for you" Driving in a thunderstorm at night, she started to feel tired. All she cared about was him, but she crashed the car and died, giving her life while trying to get to her lover. "She left it all and headed towards the light" At first, I thought that the light meant her lover and that she was running to him, but she died because of the crash meaning she left for Heaven (referred to here as the light) |
