by your side
Company Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You
Brought me up when I was low
On the road, we're heading home
I was never there alone

But now
Now you seem to lose your way
But I'll be there to take the weight
Call my name and I will stay

In the storm I'll be your shelter
I'll be your shield in the fire
If you fall, I'll still be standing here
You'll find me right
By your side

One
So together, you and me
Yeah, we were always thick as thieves
In a barn you never leave

Time
Can tear apart the things you need
You don't have to be complete
You can always lean on me

In the storm I'll be your shelter
I'll be your shield in the fire
If you fall, I'll still be standing here




You'll find me right
By your side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of By Your Side by Company Ghost are about the power of friendship and companionship. The song appears to describe a person who has been there for the singer during a difficult time in their life - somebody who offered them a helping hand and support when they needed it the most. The song acknowledges that nobody has to face life's trials alone, and that one can always rely on a friend when they need them the most. The opening lines describe this friend's impact on the singer's life - how they helped bring them up when they were low, and gave them a sense of belonging and companionship that had been lacking in their life.


However, as the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that this friend is now going through difficulties of their own. The singer notes that their friend seems to have lost their way, but reassures them that they are not alone. The song is an affirmation of the singer's commitment to their friend, promising to be there for them in their time of need, just as they were for the singer. The chorus perfectly summarizes the song's theme, stating that in the storm, they'll be a shelter and in the fire, they will be a shield, and they will always be right by the side of their friend.
