On Your Side
New Gods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel the same way
But in time you may find no matter where you run
You know further but the pain stays
Now you're most like a ghost when you come around
See you slipping out the back door
If you can't tell your friends then you might as well
I'm on your side don't try to hide away from me
Reach out and give me your hand to hold on to
Not everything you love will fall into the sea
Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you
In the street late at night alone and left behind
To look through other people's window
Can you hear me calling, calling out
To come inside before the wind blows
I'm on your side don't try to hide away from me
Reach out and give me your hand to hold on to
Not everything you love will fall into the sea
Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you
I'm on your side these eyes are tired and long to see
Your face again so come my friend and help me through
Not everything you love will fall into the sea
Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you
In New Gods' song "On Your Side," the lyrics are a message of support for a friend who may be going through a difficult time. The song begins with the acknowledgement of the friend's pain, saying "My dear friend I understand where you coming from/ Sometimes I feel the same way." But the chorus provides a message of hope and support, saying "I'm on your side don't try to hide away from me/ Reach out and give me your hand to hold on to/ Not everything you love will fall into the sea/ Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you."
The verses describe the friend slipping away, becoming like a ghost, and perhaps feeling alone and left behind. The line "In the street late at night alone and left behind/ To look through other people's window" paints a vivid picture of loneliness and longing. But again, the chorus offers a message of hope and connection, saying "Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you."
Overall, the song is a beautiful message of support and connection. It reminds us that no matter how difficult things may seem, we don't have to go through them alone. We can reach out to others for help and companionship.

To look through other people's window
Peeking through other people's windows to catch glimpses of their lives.
Can you hear me calling, calling out
Can you hear me trying to reach out to you?
To come inside before the wind blows
Come inside and seek shelter before the storm arrives.
These eyes are tired and long to see
I'm longing to see you and connect with you.
Your face again so come my friend and help me through
Please come back and help me get through this difficult time.

My dear friend I understand where you're comin from But sometimes I feel the same way. But in time you may find no matter where you run, You're no further, but the pain stays. Now you're most like a ghost when you come around See you slippin out the back door. If you can't tell your friends then you might as well, Sometimes anger is the fastest cure. I'm on your side don't try to hide away from me Reach out and give me your hand to hold onto
Not everything you love will fall into the sea Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you.
In the street late at night alone and left behind To look through other people's windows Can you hear me calling, calling out To come inside before the wind blows
CHORUS I'm on your side, these eyes are tired and long to see Your face again, so come my friend and help me through
Not everything you love will fall into the sea Whatever comes we'll walk along the road with you
