by your side
The Blue Rubatos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface, I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
The Blue Rubatos's song "By Your Side" is a cover of the 1986 pop hit "I Just Died in Your Arms" by Cutting Crew. The lyrics of the song describe the feelings of a man who has been swept away by a passionate relationship that ultimately leads to heartbreak. The opening lines, "Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight, it must have been something you said," suggest that the singer has been deeply affected by something his partner has said, and that the relationship has left him feeling empty and broken-hearted.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the intensity of the relationship, describing how he "keep[s] looking for something [he] can't get" and how "broken hearts lie all around" him. He also describes the physical surroundings of the relationship, with "her diary" sitting by the bedside table and "the curtains...closed." The singer's regret and sense of loss are palpable in lines like "is there any just cause for feeling like this?" and "I've lost and found, it's my final mistake."
Despite the pain and loss depicted in the lyrics, the song is ultimately a tribute to the transformative power of love, even in its most painful forms. The singer may have "just died" in his lover's arms, but he also acknowledges that the relationship was a "long hot night" that "made it easy, [and] made it feel right." In the end, the song suggests that even heartbreak can be a powerful reminder of the depth and intensity of human connection.
