Right By Your Side
Eurythmics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To protect myself
Give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side
No one seems to touch me
In the way you do
Nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
Every single one of us needs
Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give and receive love
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
The lyrics of Eurythmics' song "Right By Your Side" express the sentiments of someone who is going through a difficult time and needs someone to lean on. The song begins with a plea for protection and love, as the singer wants "two strong arms to protect [themself]" and "so much love that [they] forget [themself]". These lyrics display a vulnerable side of the singer, who needs the presence of a significant other to cope with the struggles of life.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of the singer's lover and their impact on their life, as "nothing" else "seems to touch [them]" in the way that their lover does. When things get tough, the singer needs to be "right by [their] side" to find solace in the power of love. The song then concludes with a universal message about the importance of love in all of our lives, how it can bring us together and alleviate the dispiriting nature of life itself.
In summary, the lyrics of "Right By Your Side" express a sense of hardship and the need for the presence of a loved one to bring comfort to difficult times. These lyrics resonate with many people as we all go through rough times in our lives and need support from loved ones to cope.

This song was a rarity. Uplifting, happy, danceable. I love Eurythmics and Annie's music. Wish they had more songs like this one.
@buckysnodgrass9252
This song is what got me hooked on Eurythmics. I had seem Sweet Dreams and Whos That Girl but Annie always seemed kind of cross and serious so seeing her being so happy was contagious. I bought every album after this including Savage and We Too Are One.
@dannycostello1978
Savage is their Sgt Pepper. A quite amazing record.
@SheriFromDetroit
Love Who's that girl too❤
@MikeSlater-mx3ls
One of the happiest songs they've ever wrote
@FreeMySoles
Who else but Annie Lennox could put a line about "when depression starts to win" in a peppy song like this? There's always that honesty, depth, and complexity in everything she does.
@fufufoofoo
