Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I let you in
You can′t pull me down
No don't hold me down no
These stars came to show
To lead you the way
If you want to know
You have to forgive me
You take me right there
Back to you, you
I won′t show you the dark side of me, all I wanna do
Stand by you, stand by you, if the sun goes down
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
If I want to show
To open the door
Then maybe this time you wont have to go no
You take me right there
Back to you, you
I won't show you the dark side of me, all I wanna do
Stand by you, stand by you, if the sun goes down
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
You, you, you
Stand by me
You, you, you
Stand by me
You take me right there, back to you
I wanna show you, I wanna know you better, all I wanna do, I wanna stand by you, I wanna stand by you
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
You, you, you
Stand by me
You, you, you
Stand by me
The lyrics of Alex D'Rosso's song "Stand By Me" express the willingness of the singer to reveal his vulnerable side to his loved ones. The first two lines talk about how he is willing to let someone in, but only if they won't pull him down. This suggests that the person he is referring to has hurt him in the past, and he is hesitant to let them in. However, he promises that they won't be able to hold him down this time.
The next few lines indicate the presence of stars that have come to show the way. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for guidance or a path to follow. The singer then admits that if someone wants to know him better and understand him, they have to forgive him for his past mistakes.
The main chorus of the song repeats several times, emphasizing the importance of standing by each other during difficult times. It implies that the singer is willing to stand by his loved ones in bad times and urges them to stand by him if the sun goes down. This line can also be interpreted literally as a reference to the setting sun, indicating that the night is approaching, and they need each other's support to get through it.
Overall, the song is a beautiful testament to the power of forgiveness and standing by each other in times of need. It is a heartfelt plea from the singer to his loved ones to understand him better and support him during hard times.
