Stand By Me
Karaoke - Ameritz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking, she's so close now
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
The lyrics to "Stand By Me" by Karaoke - Ameritz describe the story of a young teacher who becomes the subject of one of his schoolgirl's fantasies. The girl is described as being an open book, marking herself as so close to the teacher that the temptation becomes tough for him to resist. The chorus "Don't stand, don't stand so close to me" is a warning from the teacher to the student, expressing his hesitation and concern about the situation.
As the song progresses, the situation becomes more complicated, with the girl's friends getting jealous because she is getting closer to the teacher. The teacher's struggle with temptation and frustration is so intense that it even makes him cry. The song ends with a reference to the novel “Lolita” by Nabokov, where the singer experiences a similar feeling of being torn between temptation and disgust.
The lyrics of "Stand By Me" deal with the taboo subject of a teacher-student relationship, and the consequences that can arise from such a situation. The song highlights the tension and emotional struggles that any teacher would go through if he or she faced a similar situation. The song also deals with issues of jealousy, peer pressure, and societal expectations.
