Stand By Me
山口由子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

なくした恋 いやしてくれる
いつもの声 皮肉なジョークで
恋が変わって 髪が変わって
ルージュの色 少しづつ濃くなって
流れる日々の中 変わらないものが
何かあるはずだから
Stand by me 両手ひろげて
so Stand by me 包んでいて....

ショートケーキ ふたつに分けて
最後に残る 赤いイチゴのように
ふたりだけの 分けあってゆく
暖かい 気持ちをずっと
灰色の空も やがて陽が射して
また夏がくるから
Stand by me 翼広げて
so Stand by me 守っていて

Stand by me 両手ひろげて
so Stand by me 包んでいて....
Stand by me 翼広げて
so Stand by me 守っていて




Stand by me 両手ひろげて
so Stand by me 包んでいて....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 山口由子's song Stand by me describe a relationship that has gone through changes but still has remained constant. The first verse begins with the singer asking for help in getting over a lost love, and then the scene quickly switches to a more lighthearted one where the singer is being teased by their partner. The song then shifts back to the more serious tone as the imagery of changing love and changing hair color is described. Despite all of these changes in life, the singer believes that there are constants that remain, hence the line "何かあるはずだから" ("There must be something there").


The second verse describes the couple sharing a shortcake and their warm feelings of unity. The imagery of the remaining red strawberry represents their shared love that will also remain constant. The bridge describes the passing of time as grey skies turn sunny again, emphasizing the idea that even though things may change, there are constants in life that will always be there. The chorus repeats the title phrase, "Stand by me" and encourages the partner to "spread their wings" and protect the singer.


Overall, the song expresses the desire for a constant and stable relationship in the midst of life's changes.
