Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere is closed, I should just go home, yeah
My feet are takin' me to your front door
I know I shouldn't though, heaven only knows
That ooh, the side effect to my loneliness is you
Ooh, you're all that I want
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
This happens every time I try to mix
Decision makin' with one too many drinks
But, ooh, if late night friends have consequences, cool, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line (yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
I, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line (yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line, yeah
The Chainsmokers’ “Side Effects” is a song about late-night decisions and giving in to temptation. It tells the story of a person who is lost and can't seem to find direction in their life. The lyrics suggest that the person is struggling with loneliness and is looking for companionship in the wee hours of the morning. The song illustrates the internal struggle between living life on the straight and narrow, and satisfying the desire to break free from the monotony.
The chorus of “Side Effects” beautifully encapsulates the song's theme of loneliness and longing, “Ooh, the side effect to my loneliness is you. You’re all that I want, no good at giving you up. Come on and give me some love tonight”. The lyrics are emotive and convey the feeling of desperately needing someone to fill the void of loneliness, even if it's just a temporary fix.
Overall, “Side Effects” by The Chainsmokers is an intriguing exploration of the emotions and dilemmas that someone can face when they feel alone and lost. It's a powerful ballad that captures the yearning for companionship and the occasional moment of weakness that we all experience.
