Next To Me

Jordan Feliz's song 'Next To Me' delves into the themes of spiritual guidance, redemption, and the struggle between self-reliance and surrender. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels empty and lost, trying to navigate life on their own terms but constantly crashing due to their ego and misguided attempts at control. The metaphor of a 'faded map' and a 'compass in my soul' symbolizes the internal struggle and the divine guidance that calls the individual back to a place of safety and belonging.

The song's chorus emphasizes the feeling of a deep, spiritual calling that acts as a compass, guiding the individual back to a state of grace and connection. This compass is not just a directional tool but a representation of a higher power or inner wisdom that knows the true path. The repeated plea to 'come on back now' and 'let me lead you back where you belong' underscores the idea of returning to a state of spiritual alignment and closeness with the divine.

Feliz also touches on the human tendency to be 'captive by the plans I try to make' and 'selfish,' acknowledging that these traits lead to a hardened heart and bad habits. The song offers a message of hope and redemption, reminding listeners that help is always available and that it's never too late to return to a place of spiritual fulfillment. The recurring theme of being 'right next to me' serves as a comforting reminder that divine guidance is always within reach, ready to lead us back to where we truly belong.
