The song Eastside by Jess and Gabriel tells the story of two young people who fell in love and used to meet on the Eastside of their city. They would drive around in a blue Corvette and dream of starting a new life together. As they grew older, they faced more pressure and responsibilities, but still longed for the simpler times when they were just falling in love. The lyrics suggest that the couple may have faced opposition from the girl's father, adding to the drama and tension of their relationship. Despite this, they were determined to be together and escape the pressures of their current lives. The song overall is a nostalgic and romantic tribute to young love and the desire to escape and start anew. It encourages listeners to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams, even if it means leaving their old life behind.
