Stand By Me
Cristiano Cosa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night has come
And the land is dark
When the moon is the only
Light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
Oh, darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me?




Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand by me

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics of the song Stand By Me by Cristiano Cosa actually uplift the idea of the strength that comes from being with someone. The opening lines of the song “When the night has come and the land is dark” create a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as night time tends to represent darker and more fearful thoughts. However, Cosa suggests that having someone’s support, “Just as long as you stand by me,” can overcome these hardships. The repetition of the line “Stand by me” throughout the song is a comforting reminder of this idea, and the use of the term “darling” emphasizes the close relationship between the two individuals. The song culminates with the plea “Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me?” reinforcing the sentiment of loyalty and reassurance.


To add to this, the song also resonates with the universal theme of companionship and loyalty in human relationships. The lyrics suggest that no matter how difficult the situation may be, having someone stand by you can make all the difference in the world. The song demonstrates that true companionship is about being there for someone through the ups and downs of life. The simplicity and honesty of the lyrics make them that much more powerful and emotionally charged.
