Bellusira Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go out and be wild
Do it while we can (do, do)
Runnin' free in the world
We got all weekend (do, do)

Tear it up, tear it down
Gettin' lost in the sound of our hearts beatin'
Take me here, take me now

Gettin' lost in a crowd with you

Up, all night
I waited for you all my life
Hold my hand and keep me close
I'll never let you go
No not tonight
Keep me by your side
Keep me by your side
Keep me by your

Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, your-your-your-your-your-your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side
Keep me by your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, your-your-your-your-your-your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side
Keep me by your side

Scattered hearts, broken glass
I don't feel a thing (do, do)
'Cause I'm frozen in time
When you're next to me (do, do)

Tear it up, tear it down
Gettin' lost in the sound of our hearts beatin'
Take me here, take me now
Gettin' lost in a crowd with you

Up, all night
I waited for you all my life
Hold my hand and keep me close
I'll never let you go
No not tonight
Keep me by your side
Keep me by your side
Keep me by your

Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, your-your-your-your-your-your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side
Keep me by your
Side, side, side, your

Side, side, side, your
Side, side, side, your

Side, side, side
Keep me by your side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bellusira's "By Your Side" express a desire for reckless abandon and the freedom of the present moment. The singer urges the listener to seize the moment and live life to the fullest, while also acknowledging the transience of time with the repetition of "do it while we can" and "we got all weekend." The chorus repeats the title phrase "keep me by your side" as a request to be tethered to someone in the face of the chaos and uncertainty of the world.

The second verse emphasizes the power of the singer's connection to the listener, with the association of the listener's presence with a sense of timelessness and the lack of feeling any pain. The repetition of "tear it up, tear it down / getting lost in the sound of our hearts beating" suggests that the intensity of the connection shared between the two individuals in the moment is all that matters. The chorus repeats the title phrase several times, emphasizing the desire for the sense of security and steadfastness that comes with shared experience.

Overall, "By Your Side" is an anthem for living in the present and chasing after adventure while also seeking the comfort and security of close human connection in a world that can often feel overwhelming.
