By Your Side
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're shadowed by the darkness of the night
When you wake up in the morning
Darling, I'll be by your side
(Hey) when you get a little lonely
And you lose your head then don't give up the fight
When you wake up in the morning
Darling, I'll be by your side
(Hey) when you wake up in the morning
And you're shadowed by the darkness of the night
When you wake up in the morning
Darling, I'll be by your side
I'll be there by your side
I'll be everything you wanted
I'll be there by your side
If you need a light to shine in
I'll be there
Oh-oh
(Darkness of the night) oh-oh
(I'll be by your side) oh
So lift your hand 'cause you know that you can
There'll be fire again in the dark
Hold out your hand, let the stars shoot again
Let the light shine in through the dark
And I'll be there
I'll be there
(I'll be by your side)
I'll be there
(I'll be by your side, hey)
The lyrics of "By Your Side" by Tom Grennan and Calvin Harris convey a message of hope and support for a loved one who might be struggling. The song starts by acknowledging the difficulties of waking up in the morning and facing the darkness that may come with it. However, the singer assures their loved one that he will be by their side, providing comfort and reassurance that no matter what happens, he is there to support them.
The chorus repeats this message, emphasizing the promise to be by the side of the person who needs it. The lyrics also encourage the loved one to keep fighting, to not give up in the face of adversity. The image of a hand reaching out, and the light shining through the darkness create a powerful visual of hope and support.

When you wake up in the morning
When you start your day afresh
And you're shadowed by the darkness of the night
And you're still affected by the previous night's emotions
Darling, I'll be by your side
I'll be there for you throughout the day
(Hey) when you get a little lonely
(Hey) when you feel disconnected from others

How was Love Regenerator not EDM?

Love regenerator is better. This sounds like a request from the record label.
