by your side
Ni$h!th Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to have 2 pennies on the drive
My GPS keep telling me I'm not right
It had to have lie-ie-ied
No way I'm wrong by yo side side side
Swallow my pride
I've decided that in you I will confide
I know that you won't slide slide
I don't see a downside, when I'm by your side

So much shit that I can't resist
But you've been with me since it all went (Beep)
And I'll admit that you've never submitted to no one
Although you're a damn misfit
Well you're just like me cuz I don't fit in
Every chance I get gotta keep spitting
Cuz some friends are fake but the rapping ain't
So imma Pablo Picasso the art I paint
See it in your eyes once again (Again)
I texted her, she said let's be friends
With you I feel free
Don't know what id be without you
Forgot how to love like how to?
Sorry if I'm bad I'm kinda new
But I'm down to be new with you
My mind is spinning out of control
You the only one making me whole
A coal under pressure but I don't shine
That's a sign

I used to have 2 pennies on the drive
My GPS keep telling me I'm not right
It had to have lie-ie-ied
No way I'm wrong by yo side side side
Swallow my pride
I've decided that in you I will confide
I know that you won't slide slide slide
I don't see a downside, when I'm by yo side
I used to have 2 pennies on the drive
My GPS keep telling me I'm not right
It had to have lie-ie-ied
No way I'm wrong by yo side side
Swallow my pride
I've decided that in you I will confide

I know that you won't slide slide slide
I don't see a downside, when I'm by your side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "By Your Side" by Ni$h!th explore themes of loyalty, self-discovery, love, and finding solace in someone's presence. The song begins with the singer reflecting on their past, symbolized by having only two pennies on the drive. This could represent a time of financial hardship or a lack of direction. They mention their GPS telling them they are not right, suggesting that they have been lost or misguided in life.

The singer then questions the truthfulness of their GPS, saying it must have lied. They express their certainty that they are not wrong when they are by the side of the person they love. This may imply that being with this person brings them a sense of clarity and purpose, easing their doubts and improving their judgment.

The lyrics continue to describe the challenges the singer has faced, using a metaphor of "shit" that they can't resist. Despite these obstacles, the person they are singing about has been with them since "it all went beep," possibly referring to a significant turning point or a moment of crisis. The singer acknowledges that this person has never submitted or conformed to societal norms, just like them - a "misfit." Their shared feeling of not fitting in brings them closer together.

The singer expresses gratitude for the freedom they feel when they are with this person and admits that they don't know what they would do without them. They confess to being new at love, possibly suggesting they haven't had many positive experiences before. However, they are willing to navigate this new territory with the person they care about because they bring stability and a sense of completeness to their life.

The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the conviction of the singer's feelings. The mention of pennies and the GPS repeats to reinforce the idea that the singer's past struggles and doubts are resolved when they are with the person they love. They make a conscious decision to confide in this person, acknowledging their trustworthiness and the lack of any downsides in their relationship. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, solidifying the singer's commitment to being by their loved one's side.

Forgot how to love like how to?
I have forgotten how to love, how to show affection

Sorry if I'm bad I'm kinda new
I apologize if I am not good enough, I am still inexperienced

But I'm down to be new with you
But I am willing to learn and grow with you

My mind is spinning out of control
My thoughts and emotions are overwhelming and chaotic

You the only one making me whole
You are the only one who completes me and makes me feel complete

A coal under pressure but I don't shine
I may be under pressure, but I don't stand out or succeed

That's a sign
That's an indication or symbol
