Left and Right: the lyrics and their meaning
Left and Right is a love song addressed to a girl that left the protagonist. Despite it talks about a relationship that’s already over, with the singers still showing love for the girl who’s no longer with him, the melody of the song is happy and cheerful, showing somehow that the singers are not overwhelmed by sadness.
And in fact, the way the song describes the situation is not really sad. The girl is still in the protagonist’s mind. “Left and Right” is in the first line of the song:
Memories follow me left and right
And it’s in line with the rest of the lyrics: Charlie Puth & Jung Kook are singing, without much sadness, that the presence of this girl is still very relevant in their head, in their memories, in their thoughts. Even though they are aware that maybe they should move on and focus on themselves, as these lines in the first verse say:
Maybe I should just focus on me instead
(But all I think about)
Are the nights we were tangled up in your bed
But probably the time to move on will come later. Right now the protagonist wants to enjoy a bit more the feelings he has, and remain still emotionally connected with the girl he loves for a little while.
Your love stays with me day and night
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind
What ya gon’ do now?
In the second part of the song there is some line that opens a bit to sadness, but it doesn’t seem an overwhelming emotion. The guy who’s talking seems in control: he knows that sadness can be normal after a break up, and he knows that he will need some time before focusing again on himself. Until then, he still wants to sing and experience the feelings that keep him connected to her.
Did you know you’re the one that got away?
And even now, baby, I’m still not okay
Did you know that my dreams, they’re all the same?
Every time I close my eyes

Memories follow me left and right
I can feel you over here, I can feel you over here
You take up every corner of my mind

How to erase your body from out my brain

Oh, no (Oh, no)
Oh, no (Oh, no)
You’re goin’ ’round in circles
Got you stuck up in my head, yeah

You take up every corner of my mind
What ya gon’ do now?
Ever since the-the day that you went away
(Someone tell me how)
How much more do I gotta drink for the pain?
(What ya gon’ do now?)
You do things to me that I just can’t forget
