by your side
Austin Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you stand beside
A man that tells you lies
Look for deceit it's in his eyes
Like forbidden fruit
Adam should have hid the loot
And protected you
From the pistol that dares to shoot
Check that his papers stacking up
He's known as a big spender
Even flirts with the bartender
I think things are adding up
Texting hoes just to chat them up
Maybe get back in the mix
Type of problem Karsh can't fix
So now he's calling all times of night
Pick up the phone girl lets get right
Some shit he'll probably say
Home girls tell you to stay away
But you believe his lies
Think he gave you wings to fly
But you could fly on your own
But rather die than be alone
Look
I'm not here hoping to rip you up
I'm here hoping to pick you up
Hoping that I get you up
From them bricks that you picked up
When that nigga should of fixed you up
Because body to body
Lip to lip
You the puzzle piece my life fits
But I also hope you believe that I fit you
I'm always by your side
How many times did I tell you that
I'm always by your side all day
No matter if the winds our way
Because I know this love is true
Believe in me like I believe in you
How many times can you stand beside
And watch a woman cry
As the pain falls down her eyes
Like anime to cake
I ate all the bullshit it would take
For him to love me so
But got thrown down the rabbit hole
And now you look for me in despair
Your love is closer than it appears
And your fixation amazes me
Cause you should of hated me
And I know he fucked all the bitches he could
I thought twice about chopping his wood
But held back the urge for you
And now my heart only bleeds for you
So now where do we go from here
Why should I think your love is rare
My mothers fault was that she trusted men
Now shes regrets days in a den
And I'm not tryna be the same
But I love the way you say my name
When you look me in the eyes
Head still but heart willing to try
And I'm not here to try and make you see
All choices that I've made that have befell me
Cause I know I've been wronged by men in the past
But its the love we fight for that will always last
Because body to body
Lip to lip
You the puzzle piece my life fits
But I also hope you believe that I fit you
I'm always by your side
How many times did I tell you that
I'm always by your side all day
No matter if the winds our way
Because I know this love is true
Believe in me like I believe in you
And if we should ever stray
I'm only a call away
Because I know this love is true
Believe in me like I believe in you
I'll be by your motherfucking side
Hey
I'll be by your motherfucking side
You Know I do
I'll be by your motherfucking side
Yo Karsh tell her stop playing with me
I'll be by your motherfucking
This dick right here
In "By Your Side" by Austin Steele, the lyrics delve into the complexities of a toxic and manipulative relationship, focusing on themes of lies, deception, and misplaced loyalty. The song highlights the struggle of a woman who repeatedly stands by a man who continuously lies to her. The lyrics liken this situation to the story of Adam and Eve, suggesting that the man should have protected the woman from the deceitful acts. However, instead of protecting her, he is portrayed as someone who indulges in reckless behavior, including flirting with the bartender and texting other women. Despite the warning signs from her friends, the woman still believes the man's lies and clings to the idea that he has given her the ability to fly on her own, although she would rather die than be alone.
The second verse shifts perspective and is directed towards someone who has experienced similar betrayals but has now found someone they care deeply for. The singer expresses their desire to support and uplift this person, hoping to be their source of strength and stability. They emphasize that they are committed to always being by their side, regardless of the obstacles and challenges they may face. The recurring theme of body-to-body and lip-to-lip intimacy reflects the connection between the singer and the person they are addressing, portraying them as the missing puzzle piece in each other's lives. The lyrics also touch on their own struggles with trust due to past experiences but highlight the importance of fighting for love and remaining steadfast.
Overall, "By Your Side" explores the complexities of relationships, specifically focusing on the dynamics of loyalty, trust, and the consequences of staying in toxic situations.

How many times
I wonder how many times
Can you stand beside
Can you tolerate being next to
A man that tells you lies
A man who constantly lies to you
Look for deceit it's in his eyes
Pay attention to his eyes, it reveals his dishonesty
Like forbidden fruit
Similar to a forbidden fruit
Adam should have hid the loot
Adam should have concealed the treasure
And protected you
And safeguarded you
From the pistol that dares to shoot
From the weapon that is not afraid to harm
Body counts are racking up
The number of casualties is increasing
Check that his papers stacking up
Verify that his documents are accumulating
He's known as a big spender
He has a reputation for spending a lot of money
Even flirts with the bartender
He even flirts with the person serving drinks
I think things are adding up
I believe that everything is becoming clearer
Texting hoes just to chat them up
Messaging women with the intention of getting their attention
Maybe get back in the mix
Perhaps get back into the social scene
Type of problem Karsh can't fix
The kind of issue that even Karsh cannot resolve
So now he's calling all times of night
So now he's calling at any hour of the night
Pick up the phone girl lets get right
Answer the phone, girl, let's resolve things
Some shit he'll probably say
He will likely say some nonsense
Home girls tell you to stay away
Your friends advise you to stay away from him
But you believe his lies
But you trust his false words
Think he gave you wings to fly
Believe that he has given you the power to soar
But you could fly on your own
But you were capable of flying independently
But rather die than be alone
But you prefer death over solitude
Look
Listen
I'm not here hoping to rip you up
I'm not here with the intention to harm you emotionally
I'm here hoping to pick you up
I'm here to support and uplift you
Hoping that I get you up
Hoping that I can bring you out of your low state
From them bricks that you picked up
From the burdens that you collected
When that nigga should of fixed you up
When that man should have repaired your brokenness
Because body to body
Because intimately
Lip to lip
Mouth to mouth
You the puzzle piece my life fits
You are the missing piece that completes my life
But I also hope you believe that I fit you
But I also hope that you believe I complement you
I'm always by your side
I am always there for you
How many times did I tell you that
How many times have I mentioned to you
No matter if the winds our way
Regardless of the challenges we face
Because I know this love is true
Because I am certain this love is genuine
Believe in me like I believe in you
Have faith in me just as I have faith in you
And if we should ever stray
And if we happen to lose our way
I'm only a call away
Know that I am just a phone call away
Because I know this love is true
Because I am confident this love is authentic
I'll be by your motherfucking side
I will be by your side
Hey

You know I do
Yo Karsh tell her stop playing with me
Hey Karsh, tell her to stop messing around with me
I'll be by your motherfucking side
