Next To You
Man-twiza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say the best friends in life are the ones who stab you from the front
From the front
If you don't ask no questions I can assure that you won't hear no lies
Hear no lies

Silence can give you all the answers you seek just turn off your TV
Your TV
Trust is like a mirror, once it is broken it aint never the same

Never the same

I’m feeling phrased and confused

Keep moving forward and you won’t ever have to take two steps back
Two steps back
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so let me go
Let me go
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride, but this is a divide
Is a divide
Between the devil and the deep blue sea is where we choose to stand
Choose to stand

I’m feeling phrased and confused

I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’m feeling phrased and confused

I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’m feeling phrased and confused

(Every gun's got a bullet to shoot)
(But have you got the finger to pull it?)
(Every gun's got a bullet to shoot)
(But have you got the finger to pull it?)

(Every gun's got a bullet to shoot) I’ll see you next Tuesday
(But have you got the finger to pull it?) I’ll see you next Tuesday
(Every gun's got a bullet to shoot) I’ll see you next Tuesday
(But have you got the finger to pull it?) I’m feeling phrased and confused

I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’m feeling phrased and confused

I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’ll see you next Tuesday
I’m feeling phrased and confused

Phrased and confused

Phrased and confused
Phrased and confused

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Man-twiza's song "Next to You" seem to be conveying the idea of the importance of trust and the consequences of betrayal. The line "They say the best friends in life are the ones who stab you from the front" suggests that it is better to be betrayed by someone you trust rather than someone who pretends to be a friend. The following line, "If you don't ask no questions I can assure that you won't hear no lies," implies that ignorance is bliss, and not knowing the truth can shield you from potential pain.

The verses suggest that silence can answer all the questions you seek, and it is vital to keep moving forward to avoid taking two steps back. Trust, like a mirror, is irreparable when broken, and it is better to let go of someone dragging you down like a weak link in a chain. The bridge implies that difficult decisions often require choosing between two bad options with the phrase "Between the devil and the deep blue sea is where we choose to stand."

The repetition of "I'll see you next Tuesday" seems to be a way of saying "goodbye." The phrase "next Tuesday" also sounds like a vulgar term when abbreviated, and this might be a reference to the betrayal or frustration that the artist is feeling.
