Next to You
Atmosphere Feat. deM atlaS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm layin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why
I was out with my crew tonight
I had so much to drink that you'd think
I'm 'bout to go and paint the bathroom sink, pink
Rule number one, always puke alone
The second rule is always puke at home
I guess it's time to go
Didn't see nobody from my family around
So I went outside to flag a taxi down
I told a cab to take thirty-five south and let the windows down
I got to air myself out
I put a new piece of gum in my mouth
As the car pulled up right in front of the house
And all that I can think about is how much I love fucking you
I can't wait to get inside
But I never considered that you'd be fast to sleep
And now I'm masturbating with some Vaseline
And
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm layin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why
I'd love to press my face into the flesh
In between your pregnant breasts
I'd love to squeeze your butt and make you horny
But I know you gotta wake up in the morning
So I'mma just lay next to you
And think about when I make sex to you
It probably sound kinda perverted, I imagine
But that ain't enough to make me wanna curb my enthusiasm
It feels so right in my left
And I don't think she protest if I don't leave a mess
I disappear into the smell of your hair
And it's becoming apparent that I'm becoming coherent
With my mind on my business, fist full of carnal
Blurry with the vision I'm spinnin' like a marble
Fade to black way under the shellac
Can't fap, too wasted
If you was awake you'd laugh
And
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm layin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm layin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why
The lyrics of the song "Next to You" by Atmosphere feat. deM atlaS speak about the feeling of loneliness despite being physically close to someone. The singer confesses that even though they are lying right next to their partner, they feel alone and lost. The first verse talks about a night where the singer was out with friends and got drunk. They wanted to get home to be with their partner, but upon arriving, they found out that their partner was already asleep. The singer's desire for physical intimacy with their partner is evident in the second verse, but they hold back as they do not want to disrupt their partner's sleep. The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the loneliness that the singer feels.
The song's meaning can be interpreted in several ways. It speaks about the concept of emotional loneliness despite being physically close to someone, which is a common occurrence in modern relationships. It can also be seen as a lamentation of a loss of intimacy, as the singer's partner has fallen asleep before they could bond.
The song's instrumentals, featuring a slow melody with drums and guitar, add to the melancholic vibe of the lyrics. deM atlaS's soothing voice contrasts with the lyrics' dark themes, creating a captivating effect.
