Beside You
Mariana Trench Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
I will stay
Nobody will break you, yeah
Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me
'Cause I'm just trying to keep this together,
'Cause I could do worse and you could do better
Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too rough
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
The lyrics to Marianas Trench's "Beside You" is a powerful song about being there for someone when they are going through a difficult time. It speaks to the idea that sometimes all we need is someone to be by our side when we feel overwhelmed and lost. The first verse talks about feeling physically exhausted from the weight of everything that's going on around you. The singer feels like they've walked miles and just need a moment of peace to be still. The chorus follows, reassuring the listener that they will be there alongside them to weather the storm.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional aspects of feeling overwhelmed. The singer can't find the words to express their thoughts and are struggling to make sense of what's going on around them. However, the singer reminds them that they don't have to go through it alone. The bridge continues the theme of trust and support, urging the listener to trust in them and stay by their side. It's a beautiful message of hope and comfort, that no matter how overwhelming things might seem, there is always someone who will be there to hold you up and help you through it.

LYRICS
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defence
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want it just to
Be still for a while
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
When you're overwhelmed
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurring nonetheless
When you try to speak
But you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
I will stay (right beside...)
Nobody will break you
Trust in me
Trust in me
Don't pull away
Just trust in me
Trust in me
'Cause I'm just trying to keep this together
Because i could do worse and you could do better
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defence
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

I don't care if i'm a 20 year old guy who always listens to heavy metal. Whenever i get really down, and feel completely alone and like giving up and ending it all, this song gives me the strength to live for one more day... And it always gets better...

Wish upon a star that it will be a PRESENT of today and not a Tomorrow song.

Nu Metal guy here reminiscing about bands that get me through, commenting today while I'm getting introspective on my 36th birthday. I feel you man, and I hope you're doing great.

Dave, the reason you’re getting down is because spirits of depression have come inside you from listening to the heavy metal. You need to work with a Christian deliverance minister to get the demons out causing you the mental pain.

I always come back to this song after years cause it gives me a sense of protection... makes me feel less lonely

True that

I just got 'nobody will break you.' tattooed on my wrist. This song really means a lot to me, and helps me through everything. So every time I am going through rough times, I look at it, listen to this song, and just think about everything that I have to live for. They help me not to cut, that's why I got it tattooed on my wrist. I completely understand what you feel like when you want to give up. Just understand that you are never alone, and that there is always someone who cares. ♥

the emotion in Josh's voice gets me every time. I always end this song crying from how heart felt he is!
