Stand By Me
Florence + the Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
Florence + the Machine's version of Stand By Me is a powerful and emotive rendition of the classic song. The song is about finding comfort in a loved one's presence during moments of uncertainty and turmoil. The opening lyrics set the scene for the song's message, suggesting that the world may be dark and scary, but with someone standing by your side, you can feel safe and secure. The artist then reassures their partner that they won't be afraid as long as they stand by their side. The chorus repeats the message of the song, urging their partner to stand by them.
The second verse amplifies this message, using the metaphor of the sky falling or the mountain crumbling to the sea to emphasize the chaos and uncertainty of life. Yet, despite these trials, the artist will not shed a tear as long as their partner is there for them. The bridge repeats the chorus and reinforces the central message of the song, that the artist needs their partner to stand by them in times of trouble.
Overall, Florence + the Machine's Stand By Me is a touching tribute to the power of human connection and the comfort that can come from having someone stand by your side.

When the night has come
When the darkness has arrived
And the land is dark
And everything is shrouded in darkness
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And our only source of light is the moon
No, I won't be afraid
I will not feel scared
Oh, I won't be afraid
I will not feel apprehensive
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you support me, I will feel strong
So darling, darling stand by me
Sweetheart, please stand by my side
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
If the sky collapses and falls apart
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
Or the mountain sinks into the ocean
I won't cry, I won't cry
I will not weep
No, I won't shed a tear
I will not let any tears escape
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
As long as you are there for me, I will remain strong
Whenever you're in trouble
Whenever you find yourself in difficulty
Won't you stand by me?
Will you please support me?
And darling, darling stand by me
And my beloved, please stand by me
Oh, stand now
Oh, stand with me right now
Stand by me
Support me
Stand by me
Stay by my side

No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh stand now, stand by me
Darling, darling

Oh stand by me, oh stand now
Stand by me,
Whenever you’re in trouble, won’t you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me...

This is the only game that's managed to make me cry because i was incredibly attached to the characters and every moment leading up to this i felt like i had met these four really good friends. This game was a roller coaster of emotions and i loved every second of it.
THAT'S IT! I've come up with a new recipe!

Gladio: “I think we can forget about hitching our way thare...”
Gladio: “Thought people were friendly outside the city.”
Ignis: “You can only go so far on the kindness of strangers.”
Gladio: “Just gonna have to push her all the way.”
Prompto: “I’ve already pushed myself... to the brink of death.”
Gladio: “Oh, get up”

Ignis: “We let ourselves get carried away.”
Prompto: “Look, these things happen!”
Gladio: “Let’s just hope this isn’t some omen.”
Noct: “Gladio, do me a favor.”
Gladio: “What?”
Noct: “Push this thing by yourself.”
Gladio: “All by myself?”
Prompto: “You won’t even notice if we just let go.”
Gladio: “Prompto, don’t even think about it.”
Ignis: “Save some breath for pushing.”
Noct: “Ignis, c’mon—time to switch.”

@A.R.T.4
You guys....are the best.
@aka_miso
Imo the original lines in Japanese were so much more emotionally moving than the English ones
@kaiplue
LegendaryPikachu In Japanese he said "I love you guys." Instead of "you guys are the best."
@fanaphenix
And in French he says "You're like brothers to me". It's funny to see how different the versions are :3
@nickostrife
many expressions are seen differently in any other nations, so yeah.. i think what the english tanslators did was the best one and they nailed it
@jamyskis
Indeed. In German he says "Bessere Freunde gibt es nicht" - loosely translated "I couldn't ask for better friends".
@BK-mk3vi
“Remember, those ain’t your bodyguards. They’re your brothers. Trust in em, always.”

@@user-of7xc1ps1p FFXV has made a lot of us cried. We never expected the ending is so damn sad. Once "Stand by Me" was played during the credit, all of the memories, together with the other 3 good friends, chocobos, Hammerhead, all of the places while we hunting those beasts....
It's...... so painful.
