Beside
NO SWOON Lyrics

The song "Beside" by NO SWOON is a dreamy and atmospheric piece that invites listeners to contemplate the essence of their existence. The lyrics focus on the idea of self-reflection, and the uncertainty that comes with it. The song opens with the lines "Listen tonight, there's no shape in sight, the laughter nearby is growing in size," which creates an eerie and introspective atmosphere. The laughter in the background serves as a reminder that even in moments of reflection and doubt, life keeps moving forward.

The chorus, "I see my self beside myself, I see inside," implies a duality of sorts, an introspective look at oneself. However, the repetition of "haven't caught a breath, there's no reason to wonder why" suggests that there is no need to spend too much time ruminating on uncertainties. The lyrics are cryptic while simultaneously conveying a sense of acceptance for the unknown.

After the second chorus, the song shifts into a more optimistic mood with "After I'm told, will be more exposed with nothing too old, and more hands to hold." These lines suggest that with the passing of time, one may become more comfortable with themselves and those around them.
