When you text, I'm suddenly totally clueless
I give myself an hour or two of chaos
And all that's left in the morning is the hangover
Tomorrow I'll be standing alone again
I've always been on my own trip
Always on fast-forward, now only in reverse
When, tell me when did this start?
When, tell me when did I lose myself, man?
Next to you I'm always beside myself
Tell me, how do you make me lose my focus?
Mmh
Vision's so blurry, feel like I'm in fog with you
Baby, I'm sorry, but this can't work
The rose-tinted glasses are dusty
Still you put them on me now and then
Out of fashion, but you know damn well
When I wear them, you get everything you need
Man, every time I wish I were stronger
Each time after I feel a little emptier
When, tell me when did this begin?
When, tell me when did I lose myself, man?
Next to you I'm always beside myself
Tell me, how do you make me lose my focus?
Hmm
Vision's so blurry, feel like I'm in fog with you
Baby, I'm sorry, but this can't work
Eyes glassy, can't find myself right now
When, tell me when did this begin?
I lie awake till it's light again
When, tell me when did I lose myself, man?
And I ask myself where I am right now
When, tell me when did this begin?
Please tell me where I am right now
Next to you I'm always beside myself
Tell me, how do you make me lose my focus?
Hmm
Vision's so blurry, feel like I'm in fog with you
Baby, I'm sorry, but this can't work

SONG MEANING

Neben Mir is a late-night confession turned indie-pop banger. The moment her phone lights up, Nina Chuba dives headfirst into “ein, zwei Stunden Chaos,” fast-forwarding through reckless fun only to wake up with nothing but a hangover and self-doubt. The song captures that dizzy feeling of standing right beside someone yet completely beside yourself—your plans scrambled, your mind foggy, your life suddenly playing in reverse as you wonder, When did I lose myself?

Beneath the catchy beat, Nina paints a vivid picture of a relationship that shines like a dusty pair of rose-colored glasses. Every time the other person slips them on her, she sees what they need her to see and hands over everything they want. She wishes she were stronger, but each escape leaves her a little emptier. With blurred vision and glassy eyes, she finally admits, “Baby, I’m sorry, aber das kann nicht funktionier’n.” It’s a relatable anthem about recognizing toxic cycles, reclaiming your focus, and stepping out of the haze so you can star in your own film again.
