On Your Side Lyrics
It’s a tunnel, it’s impassable, dark like shame
All the same, bleak and contained
You’re not the first or the last to be so confined
Yes, I know, sometimes it’s like the sorrow swallows you whole
But you know that isn’t really your home at all, not at all, not at all
Wait, I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
Back into view
You have to find a source of light, you have to let it in
Can you breathe at all, the air’s so thin
You’re not the first or the last to get stuck inside
Yes, I know, sometimes it’s like the sorrow swallows you whole
But you know that isn’t really your home at all, not at all, not at all
Wait, I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
INSTRUMENTAL
All the same, bleak and contained
You’re not the first or the last to be so confined
Yes, I know, sometimes it’s like the sorrow swallows you whole
But you know that isn’t really your home at all, not at all, not at all
Wait, I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
Back into view
You have to find a source of light, you have to let it in
Can you breathe at all, the air’s so thin
You’re not the first or the last to get stuck inside
Yes, I know, sometimes it’s like the sorrow swallows you whole
But you know that isn’t really your home at all, not at all, not at all
Wait, I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
INSTRUMENTAL
Wait, I’m on your side-
Wait I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
Wait I’m on your side
Punch a hole into the sky
It’s not too late, you have to try
Lean in to me and let me steady you
And pull the margins back into view
About
Genius Annotation
The anthemic second single off The Shondes‘ fourth album The Garden tackles depression.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2nGVIc1GlA&feature=youtu.be
Singer/bassist Louisa Solomon says:
“I wrote this song thinking about what it feels like to care very deeply for people suffering from depression, trying to support them, and honestly experiencing frustration at times, wishing so badly that I could break through the contained, hopeless space they feel stuck in”
