On Your Side
Conor & The Wild Hunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no conversation
There's nothing to say that'll take us back
There's no way to change it
No we'll never salvage the plans we had
But I can't explain it
I can't let you go, will you hold my hand?
I know I look crazy, oh
But give me a moment, I'll make it last

Don't wanna go this alone you're my everything
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
'Cause to me you're more than a memory

Can we lay here?
Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it
All the way through the night, oh
Can we lay here?
Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it
And don't make it out alive
At least I'll be by your side
At least I'll be by your side

I know you feel helpless
But we'll never know if we never try
'Cause even if it all burns down and we drown
I need to know that I've still got you

Don't wanna go this alone you're my everything
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
'Cause to me you're more than a memory

Can we lay here?
Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it
All the way through the night, oh
Can we lay here?
Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it
And don't make it out alive
At least I'll be by your side
At least I'll be by your side

I know it's getting so hard to breathe
Whatever happens, keep hold of me
I don't believe that what's meant to be will be
So pull me in so close
While we both finally close our eyes (our eyes)

Can we lay here?
Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it (make it)
All the way through the night, oh (tell me baby can we)
Can we lay here?
Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it




And don't make it out alive
At least I'll be by your side

Overall Meaning

The song "On Your Side" by Conor & The Wild Hunt is a beautiful and emotional ballad about wanting to hold onto love despite the impending doom. The song suggests that bad things may happen, but as long as two people are holding onto each other, it'll all be okay. The opening lines of the song, "There's no conversation, there's nothing to say that'll take us back" suggest that something has happened in the past, and it's causing a separation between two people. However, despite that, the singer desperately wants to hold onto their lover and keep them close. The chorus emphasizes this idea with lines like "Don't wanna go this alone you're my everything, yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline," emphasizing the importance of their partner in their lives. The bridge of the song is particularly powerful, with the lines "I know it's getting so hard to breathe, whatever happens, keep hold of me. I don't believe that what's meant to be will be, so pull me in so close while we both finally close our eyes," which suggest a deep connection between the two, even as chaos rages around them.


The song's overall themes are universal and relatable. The idea of wanting to hold onto someone you love, despite knowing that bad things may happen, is something that many people have experienced. The song's lyrics are strong, and the band's performance only serves to emphasize the emotions at play.
