3 AM and it's already morning
Can't go to sleep 'cause
My dreams always boring
Life's so fast I don't
Know where I'm going
I'm stressed out 'cause my life's a mess
4 AM and there's tears down my face
Can't stop screaming "How'd I
Get to this place"
This ain't home, I don't know where to go
Life's not fun ever since you left
5 AM, I miss you once again
I miss the days we'd spend
Laughing in confidence

You lied when I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you
And you said you'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you you lied
When I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you you said
You'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you

Lies falling out your mouth
Always end up in a mess somehow
The lights in your eyes burned out
Ran from the sea, I'm on solid ground
Living outside, I'ma compromise
Can't put trust in myself for life
Beautiful face but no heart inside
Yeah, It's all dark inside
I just wanna know where you're living at
I don't see your dot on the minimap
Shoot me in the heart at least
Rather be dead if I'm not at your feet, yeah

You lied when I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you
And you said you'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you you lied
When I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you
And you said you'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you you lied
When I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you
And you said you'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you you lied
When I told the truth
I'll always be right next to you




And you said you'd be there too
So tell me why I'm not next to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yung Van's song "Next to You" delve into themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and longing for companionship. The singer of the song is going through a period of turmoil and confusion in their life, unable to find peace and purpose. They feel overwhelmed by the fast-paced nature of their existence and struggle to find solace in their dreams, describing them as boring.


At 4 AM, the singer is in tears and questioning how they ended up in this state. They feel lost and don't know where to turn for comfort. It's evident that someone significant has left their life, contributing to their distress. The absence of that person has made life less enjoyable, and they miss the days when they could spend time together and laugh with confidence.


The chorus emphasizes the pain of being lied to. Despite the singer being truthful, the other person deceived them. They had believed that the person would always be by their side, and this betrayal has left them questioning why they are not together anymore.


The second verse further explores the impact of lies and deception. The singer feels that the lies always lead to a mess. They notice that the other person's light has faded, suggesting a loss of innocence or happiness. The singer, who feels like they are standing on solid ground after escaping a turbulent relationship, finds it difficult to trust themselves or put faith in their own judgment. They acknowledge the outer beauty of the person but lament the lack of a genuine and caring heart within them. This revelation creates a sense of darkness and despair within the singer.


In essence, "Next to You" portrays the emotional journey of someone grappling with heartbreak, loneliness, and the pain of being deceived by someone they thought they could trust. It reflects the longing for connection and the struggle to find meaning in a world that feels overwhelming and confusing.
