When I Lay Beside You
K's Choice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am everything I want to be
With your loving face in front of me
With your eyes that hum the perfect song
To go on long after I am gone

When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you
Like the absence of a roaring sound
And the walls I build came tumbling down
And it almost made me worship god
‘Cause you're everything these words are not

When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you
I am perfect

In your eyes I see eternity
And a girl that looks a lot like me
Eternity, a little trip
You're the beat my heart will skip

When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you
I am perfect

nanananananana

When I lay beside you
When I lay beside you




When I lay beside you
I am perfect

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of K's Choice's When I Lay Beside You convey the message of complete acceptance and love. The artist talks about being content with oneself and how the person they are with adds to their perfection rather than completes them. The opening line “I am everything I want to be” captures the idea of being at peace with oneself, and the presence of their loved one only enhances this feeling. The artist talks about how their partner’s loving face inspires them and how their eyes hum the perfect song that will continue long after they are gone. This conveys the idea that their love is eternal and will continue to inspire even when they are not around.


Further, in the lyrics "Like the absence of a roaring sound, and the walls I build came tumbling down", the artist might be referring to the walls they erected around themselves to keep people away or to protect themselves from being hurt. Their partner’s love has finally led to the breakdown of these walls, making them feel free and liberated. The lyrics "And it almost made me worship God" represents the overwhelming feeling of euphoria that the artist feels in their partner’s presence. The lyrics in the chorus echo the idea of their partner's love leading to a feeling of completeness and making them feel perfect.


Overall, the song When I Lay Beside You portrays a deeply personal experience of feeling complete through the love of another. The lyrics remind the listener of the importance of self-acceptance and that perfection is an individualistic pursuit rather than an outcome of a relationship.
