By My Side
Flanders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to come out from emptiness
I get away from my crazy mind
To think in ordinary way
(And) I think
All is by my side
The love's going away
All is by my side
The love's going away
But you can't stop me
Everytime I feel like a dove
That flies on red sky, in nice sun
I get away from my crazy time
To think in ordinary way
(And) I think
Over and over
I got in to you
Over and over
I pray for you
Over and over
I think what you said
Over and over
I miss you
All is by my side
The love's going away
But you can't stop me
All is by my side
The love's going away
But you can't stop me
The song "By My Side" by Flanders is a lyrical representation of the singer's efforts to find solace amidst loneliness and emptiness. The opening lines of the song, "I get away from loneliness, I try to come out from emptiness," convey the message that the singer is trying to escape from the negativity that surrounds him/her. The singer seeks normalcy in everyday things and tries to come out of his/her own chaotic mind by thinking in an ordinary way. The repeated phrase “and I think” highlights the singer’s introspective and reflective nature.
The chorus "All is by my side, the love's going away but you can't stop me," talks about the absence of love in their life, which is leaving the singer melancholy, but they will not be stopped in their quest to find happiness. The singer finds happiness in small moments of delight and delights in being free to think and feel free from the negative emotions that weigh them down.
The verses of the song are about the singer's yearning to find love and to fly high above their worries. The imagery used in the lyrics positively represents a dove flying in bright red skies during pleasant sunsets, representing the singer's desire to soar high above their loneliness and sad thoughts.
Overall, the song is about finding happiness in small things and realizing that we have everything "by our side" that we need to move on and find peace in life.
