Next to Me
Jordan Feliz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm low, you fill the cup, yeah
But my ego, fights back to me that
I'm ready to grab the wheel and take control
But I'll crash if I don't let myself let go
You put the X on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you're at
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low, ohh
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul, ohh
Saying child, come on back now
You've been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me (me, me, me, me)
Right next to me (me, me, me, me)
I've been captive by the plans I tried to make, yeah
I've been selfish
'Cause calloused heart they die hard, like abyss
But I know I got a break
Any good to know that help is on the way (help is on the way)
You put the X on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you are
Patience when I try to move too fast
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low, ohh
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul, ohh
Saying child, come on back now
You've been gone to long
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
You know I tried to do it on my own (on my own)
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
You say it's time for me to come back home
Right next to me (me, me, me, me)
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low, ohh
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul, ohh
Saying child, come on back now
You've been gone to long
Let me lead you back where you belong
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low, ohh
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul, ohh
Saying child, come on back now
You've been gone to long
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me (me, me, me, me)
Right next to me (me, me, me, me)
The lyrics of the song "Next To Me" by Jordan Feliz talk about the struggles that one could have in life and how they need to let go of their ego and let someone else take control. This song is about a person who goes through a massive crisis and experiences emptiness in life. They feel lost in their journey, but there is someone who always brings them back to the right path. The lyrics explain that whenever they feel low or lost, the person next to them fills their cup and guides them to find their way back.
The person they mention in the song is their compass and provides direction when they need it the most. The lyrics also talk about the ego of the person taking control of their life and how it is not helpful if they want to succeed. The person can't always be in control, and there needs to be some level of surrender to move forward. The chorus reflects the importance of the person next to them; the person who always guides them back to where they belong, and this is next to them.
Overall, the song reflects the importance of having someone by our side who can guide us to the right path when we feel lost, and how letting go of our ego and our control can lead to us finding our true selves and ultimate success.
