When the light in the darkness hypnotizes us away from the days we are ready to leave behind, we know the love we've been searching for is by our side. The love we were meant to find is the fire in the cold as we leave the winter for the summer, and our hearts are ready to bloom in the beginning of a new life with that special someone. As the rain clears and the days grow brighter, that new found love will continue to leave us hypnotized to the happy state we never want to leave. Paperwhite leaves us in a trance as they describe that special feeling when we know that love is now part of our story. When the fire stays close to us in the dark and cold weather, the warmth they give us will conquer all as we wait for brighter days ahead.
An electric, upbeat melody pulls us in as Katie's gentle, smooth voice is the sweet talk that hypnotizes us by Paperwhite's side. She describes the special, almost strange new feeling they have given to her. She's hypnotized to their light as everything feels right when she's by their side, and it's the freedom she's been ready for. The fire now lights up the dark, and the warmth brings her comfort. The love is almost unreal, but it is the reality she lives in as she has now found the other half to her heart. The melody reflects the trance we are left in by that love as the catchy, hard beat plays in our heads. Paperwhite's "By Your Side" plays on as the fire continues to light up our souls and the warmth it brings lets our new beginning ignite.
