By My Side
Yearning Echoes: Nostalgia, Love, and Longing in New Disguise's 'By My Side'
Lyrics
Recalling the times we've had and memories we've shared
Reflecting on past experiences and shared memories
I'm wishing to go back then to relive them again
Expressing a desire to go back in time and relive those moments
It's hard to forget your touch and your bright and fearless smile
Mentioning the difficulty in forgetting the physical closeness and joyful smile of a loved one
But it's been a while
Acknowledging the passage of time since those moments
You're so far away
Expressing the emotional distance between the speaker and the person they miss
I only see you in my dreams
Conveying that the presence of the missed person is only experienced in dreams
So I close my eyes
Seeking solace by closing one's eyes, perhaps to mentally revisit the past
Take me back to a time
Yearning to return to a specific moment in time
When we were together it made everything better to me
Highlighting the positive impact of being together in the past
I miss those nights
Expressing the longing for nights spent with the missed person
With you by my side
Affirming the significance of having the person by one's side
I love you I miss you I feel so alone I want you to just come back
Expressing love, longing, and loneliness, urging the person to return home
Home so we can laugh and smile all day
Desiring shared moments of laughter and smiles at home
And make it all fade away
Aspiring to overcome challenges and difficulties together
We can take on the world and do anything
Expressing confidence in facing the world as a united pair
Not giving a damn what anyone thinks
Emphasizing independence from external opinions when together
If you were here
Expressing a wish for the person's physical presence
I wish you were here
Reiterating the desire for the person to be present
You're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance and dream-like encounters
I only see you in my dreams
Reiterating the dream-like nature of experiencing the person's presence
So I close my eyes
Repeating the act of seeking solace by closing one's eyes
Take me back to a time
Repeating the desire to return to a specific moment in time
When we were together it made everything better to me
Reiterating the positive impact of being together in the past
I miss those nights
Reiterating the longing for nights spent with the missed person
With you by my side
Reaffirming the significance of having the person by one's side
I love you I miss you I feel so alone I want you to just come back
Repeating expressions of love, longing, and loneliness, urging the person to return home
When I'm down and out and life has taken its toll
Describing a challenging time and seeking comfort in memories of the person
I remember you and all we've been through
Recalling shared experiences with the person during difficult times
And it gives me a soul
Attributing a sense of completeness and strength to memories of the person
All the lives you've changed while you were here
Recognizing the positive impact the person had on others' lives
I'll cherish you with all that I do
Expressing a commitment to cherish the person in all actions
I have nothing to fear
Conveying a sense of fearlessness and security when thinking about the person
So I close my eyes
Repeating the act of seeking solace by closing one's eyes
Take me back to a time
Repeating the desire to return to a specific moment in time
When we were together it made everything better to me
Reiterating the positive impact of being together in the past
I miss those nights
Reiterating the longing for nights spent with the missed person
With you by my side
Reaffirming the significance of having the person by one's side
I love you I miss you I feel so alone I want you to just come back home
Repeating expressions of love, longing, and loneliness, urging the person to return home
