Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Future is blind It′s much better that we wait Tell me what you want
To be Feeling restless as you try to speak Don't leave me behind Why
You gotta walk out On that open door Why you gotta walk out when you
Can't afford Everything you wanted that you Had before Why you gotta
Walk out... Why you tell the truth With two sides That way you get it
That way you get it right I I don′t like how you′re devoted But
You're always Somehow switching sides Wait Let the silence inside of
That i can't see Reaching for clarity Don′t leave me behind Why you
Gotta walk out On that open door Why you gotta walk out when you
Can't afford Everything you wanted that you Had before Why you gotta
Walk out... Why you tell the truth With two sides That way you get it
That way you get it right I I don′t like how you're devoted But
You're always Somehow switching sides
Who who Who who Who who will stay true?
Who who will stay true?
Who who (you decide) Will stay true?
(You decide) Who who will stay true?
(You decide) Who who (you decide) Will stay true?
(You decide) Who who (you decide) Will stay true?
Why you gotta walk out On that open door Why you gotta walk out when
You Can′t afford Everything you wanted that you Had before Why you
Gotta walk out... Why you tell the truth With two sides That way you
Get it That way you get it right I I don′t like how
You're devoted But you′re always Somehow switching sides
The lyrics of "Two Sides" by Hembree delve into themes of uncertainty, introspection, and the complexity of human relationships. The opening lines convey a sense of confusion and disorientation, with the singer expressing a feeling of being unable to see clearly what lies ahead. Despite believing that their connection with someone else was significant, the future appears uncertain and obscured. The mention of waiting suggests a desire for clarity and understanding before moving forward.
As the song progresses, there is a plea for communication and honesty in the relationship. The singer urges the other person to articulate their desires and feelings, emphasizing the importance of staying connected and not leaving each other behind. The repeated questioning of why the other person is walking out on opportunities and existing circumstances showcases a sense of frustration and longing for understanding.
The idea of presenting two sides resonates throughout the song, highlighting the concept of duality and conflicting emotions. The mention of telling the truth with two sides could refer to the complexity of honesty and how it can be perceived differently by different individuals. This notion is further reinforced by the singer's discomfort with the other person's apparent inconsistency in their allegiances and actions, always "switching sides."

The uncertainty and indecision regarding who can be relied upon to remain authentic and faithful manifest in the singer's plea for clarity and stability.
