Beside
Vangelis & Anderson Lyrics

I have seen the compass turning
I have experienced a shift in my perspective or direction

Round & round my heart
This change is recurring and deeply felt

The senses are yearning
My emotions are strongly desiring

For a possible change of heart
The desired change is related to my attitudes and beliefs

That is coming to you
I am hopeful that this change will also impact those around me

You stand upright, you are different
I observe a positive change in you as well

Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil
I question the negative experiences or emotions that may have led to this change

Spill it out on the floor of belief
I encourage honest expression and reflection to fully realize this change

Come and mend this design
Let's work together to repair or refine our beliefs and behaviors

With every right we do
Our actions have a positive impact on ourselves and others

I have seen the sun, this sounds crazy
Another instance where my perspective has shifted in an unexpected way

The story about a boy in the rain
I recall a specific moment or experience that influenced me

He was standing waiting for for the light
This moment was characterized by a sense of anticipation or hope

As though he did have a reason to know
The boy's sense of purpose or intuition resonated with me

Did he really know?
I question the extent of his awareness or understanding

His eyes were open they expected someone
The boy was looking for or open to a specific person or experience

In his heart he felt the compass was turned on
The boy experienced a change or shift in perspective similar to my own

I will echo, ho for reasons that change me
I will repeat this message or idea as it resonates with my changing beliefs and attitudes

Every thought, though it takes so long, is master with every plan
Every idea or perspective, no matter how long it takes to form, has the potential to shape our actions and future

It would seem there is no end
There is no definitive outcome to the duality of good and evil in humanity

To the bad or goodness in man
Our actions and choices have the potential to be both positive and negative

So my friend it seems the weariest night
Even in our darkest moments, change and hope are possible

Just leads to a heavenly dawn
These struggles or challenges can lead to a greater sense of growth and understanding

Should we see so much
If we are aware and observant of our experiences and emotions

In every time we sigh
Even in our small expressions of emotion or frustration, there is potential for insight and change

Even this we could call music
Even our struggles and challenges can be seen as a form of creative expression or artistry

As that would match my body connection
I feel a deep connection and understanding of these experiences on a physical level

Let me take your hand, I will be beside you beside
I offer my support and companionship through these challenging times

He took so much a lot of my mind
This experience has greatly impacted my thoughts and emotions

I can't help believe all though is sublime
Despite the challenges and difficulties, there is a higher meaning or beauty in these experiences

It this fate
Perhaps this experience is meant to be, or predestined in some way

I see it again & again
This experience continues to repeat in my thoughts and emotions

Yes, I am taught to love above every reason
I have learned to prioritize love and empathy over logical or practical reasons

Everyone every season
This love is to be given to all people, at all times

The compass will turn
My perspective or direction will continue to change and evolve

And turn again
This change is an ongoing process

turn again
The process of change and evolution repeats indefinitely
