Next To Me
Emeli Sande (feat. Kendrick Lamar) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him being 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 grief
You won't ever find him where the rest go
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
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, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we 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, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
In Emeli Sandé's "Next to Me," the singer talks about finding comfort and security in the person she loves, and how that person will always be by her side, no matter what happens. She starts off by saying that the person she loves is not like the others who are at the bar, gambling, and indulging in vices. Instead, she sings that her partner is faithful and always by her side. In the song's chorus, she repeats the phrase "Next to me" to emphasize the idea that her partner will always be there for her.
Sandé goes on to talk about difficult times, like when money runs out, friends leave, or when she's simply feeling overwhelmed. She asserts that she knows she will always find comfort in her partner, and that he will be there to help her get through any tough situation. In the second verse, Sandé gives an even more dire scenario, talking about the end of the world and the destruction of the planet. She still maintains her belief that her partner will always be there, no matter how bleak the situation gets.
Overall, "Next to Me" is a love song that emphasizes loyalty, commitment, and security. The lyrics suggest that finding the right person can give someone a sense of purpose, comfort, and hope. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a popular choice for weddings and other romantic occasions.
