On the tram, everyone sits in pairs
Love never seems private either
Everyone holds hands
And when you walk past terraces
It seems everyone is drinking love drinks
No movies without
No music without
No book on the shelf
That does not admire love
That language is foreign to you
Derived from a song
You can't speak them
Or you have to break your tongue
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
In the supermarket, between brand names
There is only 1+1 advertising
Everything seems like Valentine's theme
While we are just in October
No week without
No day without
No sunset
Without a romance
That image is unknown to you
Unless from movies, you know that well
You are assigned to yourself
You are the sun in your own sky
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
Don't do what is expected of you
Don't let what you can't let go
Because everything is in your own hands
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you
But you don't need anyone
No one for now
Except you

SONG MEANING
"Behalve Jij" by BLOND explores the theme of self-sufficiency in a world saturated with romantic ideals and societal expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of everyday life, where love seems omnipresent—seen in couples on trams, people enjoying drinks at cafes, and the pervasive imagery of romance in media. Yet, amidst this backdrop, the narrator asserts a sense of independence, emphasizing that they don't need anyone else, at least for now. The repetition of the phrase "behalve jij" (except you) underscores a personal journey of self-discovery and empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and find contentment within themselves, rather than conforming to external pressures of love and companionship.
