Buffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
But I...
Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
And you can meet it, but you never will
But I...
I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I'm standing in the way
The cries around you, you don't hear at all
'Cuz you know I'm here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But I...
I wish I could lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could slay your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here, your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm standing in the way
I'm just standing in the way
BUFFY
Did you just say something to me, called Buffy??
Yes, I did! I was explaining the lyrics to the song "Standing" by Buffy and Friends. In this song, Giles is singing to Buffy, telling her that she is not ready to face the world outside, even though she is trying to pretend she is. He had promised to be there for her, but finds himself standing in her way and preventing her from moving forward.
Giles acknowledges that Buffy's path is difficult, but he feels that he is the reason she is not making any progress. He wishes he could find the right words to encourage her or be a father-figure to guide her, but he recognizes that he cannot. He admits that he cannot stay and continue to hinder her progress.
The cries that are happening around Buffy are not heard by her because she is relying too much on Giles to handle things for her. Giles wishes he could put Buffy's troubles to rest and that he could fight her battles for her, but he knows that he must let her fight her own battles and find her own strength. In the end, Buffy must find a way to stand tall and move forward on her own.

I wish I could lay your arms down
I wish I could give you a break from the constant struggle
And let you rest at last
And let you have peace and comfort
Wish I could slay your demons

I wish I could remain your unshakable and dependable supporter
But I'm standing in the way
But I'm the obstacle to your progress
I'm just standing in the way
I'm just in the way of your journey towards success
