Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
I want to be with you
By your side

Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
I want to be with you
By your side

As I walk through the darkness of life
I want to be with you
In my joy, I wanna rejoice with you
I need your protection, I need your love
I need your truth
Please stay with me, please stay with me
Please stay with me

Would you stay with me

By your side

Asi yenze ama film, auw wozo dlala nam’
Ayeza ama feelings, athi woza uzo dlala ngam’
U shup u-love, si shay’ u-life
So hamba babe khanye, so stay with me
Mangithi qash, wena uthi let's go
Ungiyenze nje ngo Palesa, auw hello
Angithi uzo hlala nam’, ungi fudumeze ama thanga
Relax uzo phila rejoice, Derungo uyak’ thanda

As I walk through the darkness of life
I want to be with you
In my joy, I wanna rejoice with you
I need your protection, I need your love
I need your truth
Please stay with me, please stay with me
Please stay with me

Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
I want to be with you
By your side

Can stay with me
Can stay with me
Can stay with me

Can stay with me
Can stay with me

Asi yenze ama film, auw wozo dlala nam’
Ayeza ama feelings, athi woza uzo dlala ngam’
U shup u-love, si shay’ u-life
So hamba babe khanye, so stay with me

Asi yenze ama film, auw wozo dlala nam’
Ayeza ama feelings, athi woza uzo dlala ngam’




U shup u-love, si shay’ u-life
So hamba babe khanye, so stay with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "By Your Side" by Heavy-K touch on the theme of temptation and the devil. The beginning of the song talks about how the devil lured the person into temptation with false promises of an easy trip, but ends up taking them for a ride. The devil, who is portrayed as being on the person's side, has deceived them into doing wrong things.


The rest of the song goes on to talk about the omnipresence of the devil, as the person describes how they can feel him lurking in every part of their life - whether it's in the back of their mind, or there in the "lower and higher" parts of their lives. The lyrics also touch on the idea that the devil is always there, even when things are going well or when someone is achieving their dreams. They also talk about how the devil can be blocking good opportunities that might be available to the person through earthly means, like when they say that the devil made sure the kings of Earth couldn't help the person. The song concludes with the devil being indestructible and the person powerless to block him out.


Overall, the song seems to be commenting on the struggle of resisting temptation, and how the temptation or the devil can be everywhere, always tempting, and seemingly inescapable.


Line by Line Meaning

You thought it'd be an easy trip
You expected things to be smooth and effortless


But I took you for a ride
But I tricked and deceived you


Whoa, the devil's on your side
Implying that the devil is manipulating and supporting the singer


You first refused
At first, you rejected me


To take me in
To accept me as a part of your life


But I made you open wide
But I managed to get you to accept me anyway


I'm in the back of your mind
I am present in your subconscious


I'm in the front of your head
I'm at the forefront of your thoughts


I'm in the meaning behind
I am the root cause of your actions


I'm in the gold and the lead
I am present in both your successes and failures


I'm there when you're whirling the wheel
I am there when you are in control


I'm there when you're facing the fire
I am there when you're experiencing challenges


I'm there when you're doing the deal

The slime of life
The undesirable aspects of life


Had stained your heart
Had corrupted your moral values

But I helped you cleanse yourself and maintain your moral values


The kings of Earth
Powerful people


Tried to lend a hand
Tried to help you


I made sure their hands were tied
But I ensured that they couldn't help you


I'm at the top of the stairs
I am present in moments of progression and advancement


I'm at the foot of the cross
I'm present in moments of sacrifice and selflessness


I'm at the death of your cares
I'm present in moments of relief and freedom from worries


I'm at the moment of loss
I am there to offer comfort in moments of defeat


I'm there when you're breaking the bone
I am there when you are persistently pushing yourself


I'm there when you're daring to dream
I am present in moments of ambition and aspiration


I'm there when you go it alone
I am present in moments of isolation and solitude


I'm there when you're one of the team
I am present in moments of collaboration and teamwork


When all your thoughts
When you have a clear mind


Become as one
When you have clarity of thought


I'll reveal a new divide
I'll expose a new conflict


You can try your best
You can attempt to resist me


To block me out
To keep me away from your life


But I just won't be denied
But I will persist and find a way to control and manipulate you.


(Whoa)
Implies a sense of danger and unease.
