On your side
Navigating the Battlefield of Love: Grand Avenue's 'On Your Side' Meaning
Lyrics
I've lost my track
The speaker feels lost and off course in their life.
I just wanna lay here
The speaker desires to remain in a passive state, not wanting to engage or take action.
Excuse me now
The speaker asks for forgiveness or permission to depart.
I've been jumping roofs, dear
The speaker metaphorically describes risky behavior or living dangerously.
You say we're nothing special
There's a sense of insignificance in the relationship according to the other person.
I want you to be special now
The speaker wants the other person to perceive them as significant or special.
It's just before daybreak
It's just before sunrise.
I just wanna show you how
The speaker wants to demonstrate something to the other person.
I really want you
The speaker truly desires the other person.
I really do
Reiteration of the genuine desire for the other person.
The seasick sailors reaching for the shore
Metaphorical reference to people in distress trying to find safety.
You still wanna crawl
The other person still wants to retreat or avoid progressing.
You still wanna crawl
Repeated emphasis on the other person's desire to avoid progress.
All the dead soldiers coming back from was
Metaphor for the aftermath of war, yet the other person wants to continue struggling.
You still wanna fight
Despite hardship, the other person still wants to persevere.
You still wanna fight
Reiteration of the other person's persistence despite difficulties.
Lie real still
The speaker feels emotionally numb and inactive.
I just kinda feel numb
Time feels wasted, possibly indicating regret or lack of productivity.
This wasted tim
A misspelling indicating wasted time.
Will it slowly break me
The speaker questions if this wasted time will eventually harm them.
You just pick a line
Encouragement for the other person to vocalize thoughts or feelings clearly.
And say it out loud and clear
Metaphorically, overcoming difficulties or challenges to reach the other person.
Through the gates of hell
A challenging journey or experience likened to passing through hell.
Across the bridges into your arms
Metaphorically crossing obstacles to reunite with the other person.
Turn down all the lights
Desire to reduce external stimuli or distractions.
I say no more tonight
Refusal to continue or engage further at this moment.
You still wann crawl
Reiteration of the other person's desire to avoid progress or change.
Through anything at ll
Struggling through any difficulty at all.
You still wanna fight
Despite challenges, the other person still desires to continue fighting.
Don't you know I'm on your side
An affirmation that the speaker is supporting the other person.
I really want you
The speaker truly desires the other person.
I really do
Reiteration of the genuine desire for the other person.
The seasick sailors reaching for the shore
Metaphorical reference to people in distress trying to find safety.
You still wanna crawl
The other person still wants to retreat or avoid progressing.
You still wanna crawl
Repeated emphasis on the other person's desire to avoid progress.
All the dead soldiers coming back from was
