Next to Me
Emeli Sandé Feat. Alejandro Sanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rolling dice or staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him be unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
You won't find him trying to chase the devil
For money, fame, for power out of greed
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone has lost their heads around us
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh
Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
The lyrics of "Next to Me" by Emeli Sandé describe the unconditional love that the singer has for someone who is always by her side. The song conveys a sense of security and comfort in knowing that this person will always be there for her, and she won't have to look far to find him. The first verse explains that this person is not like others who drink, gamble, or cheat. He doesn't seek fame or power, and he doesn't follow the crowd. Instead, he is always by her side, through good times and bad.
The chorus reinforces this idea, as the singer repeats the phrase "next to me" over and over again. The second verse describes more difficult times, when the singer is feeling lost and alone. But even then, she knows that she can rely on this person to be there for her. The final verse takes a more apocalyptic turn, imagining a world in which everything has fallen apart. But even in that scenario, the singer is confident that she will find this person next to her.
Overall, "Next to Me" is a touching and heartfelt tribute to the kind of love that lasts a lifetime. It's a reminder that no matter what happens in life, there are people who will always be there for us, offering love and support.

When everyone has lost their heads around us
When people have lost their minds and sanity, and society has crumbled
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
He will be my one constant, my unwavering anchor, even in the face of global catastrophe
