by your side
Fighting Kind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picking off my enemies,
Like picking people randomly
I hope luck is on my side, tonight
And there's ways to go,
And ways to see
That all I try to do is just believe,
That the triger finger pointed at me is empty
Do you ever feel indestructible?
Like the only place you'll ever fall is on your feet
'Cause sometimes,
If I get lost, I know I'll find my way home
'Cause when you look in through these eyes,
It's clear I'm not alone
And even if I am cold,
I always feel those, feel your arms around me
I still hear you say to me,
"If nothing else, I'm always by your side"
You thought you knew me,
But a stake in the grass move freely through the field
You tired to bury the evidence,
Well I caught you out there
So tread lightly,
'Cause it might be a second from my breath
So just believe,
That the triger finger pointed at you's not empty
Do you ever feel indestructible?
If I get lost, I know I'll find my way home
'Cause when you look in through these eyes,
It's clear I'm not alone
And even if I am cold,
I always feel those, feel your arms around me
I still hear you say to me,
"If nothing else, I'm always by your side"
Always falling away,
Falling away
(Don't be afraid, I'm by your side)
(Don't be afraid, I'm by your side)
Always falling away,
Falling away
(Don't be afraid, I'm by your side)
Don't be afraid
(Don't be afraid, I'm by your side)x4
Don't be afraid
Do you ever feel indestructible?
Like the only place you'll ever fall is on your feet
'Cause sometimes,
If I get lost, I know I'll find my way home
'Cause when you look in through these eyes,
It's clear I'm not alone
And even if I am cold,
I always feel those, feel your arms around me




I still hear you say to me,
"If nothing else, I'm always by your side"

Overall Meaning

The singer in Fighting Kind's song By Your Side is contemplating their chances in a fight, hoping that luck is on their side and that they'll come out unscathed. They make a comparison between fighting and picking people randomly, expressing a sense of detachment and a need to believe that the trigger finger pointed at them is empty. Despite this, however, the singer does not feel alone. They feel indestructible and sure-footed, knowing that if they ever get lost, they'll find their way home. They hear a voice reassuring them that they are not alone, and that they will always be by their side.


The song appears to be a reflection of the human experience of facing adversity, but also the knowledge that we are not alone. The idea of being "by your side" conveys a sense of someone always being there, and the singer seems to take comfort in this. The lyrics suggest an understanding that we are all part of a larger whole, and that even when we feel alone or lost, we have connection and love to guide us.

I had stage 4 cancer , chemo for 6 months only to hear that it didn't work, I was told I was going to die and this song brought me through all of it and encouraged me so that God never stops fighting for us and today I am cancer-free and the doctor says he doesn't know what happened but we all know what happened .

@mickeypearce244

The Father always hears you in Jesus name. Heart be healed and anxiety/ panic attacks no more, be free in Jesus name ✝️

@sherrygreen7435

Know the Father loves you. I understand, I too, deal with this horrible lie from the enemy. You are an overcomer by your testimony so every time the enemy comes with these lies tell him who you are and what he wont do and can never do. This is 8 months ago I hope you are doing better

@ethelanamoo8904

I pray God heals from every anxiety & panic attack. God is more than able to grant u peace u desire. Just trust Him
