The lyrics of "Stand By Me" by Stereopony speak of the power of a strong connection between two people. The first verse describes the sound of a racing heart that has become comfortable and familiar. The second verse talks about facing strong winds and not losing sight of the future, while also reflecting on promises made when crying seemed like the only option.
The chorus is a call to stand by each other as they continue their journey. Even though they may not be able to fly perfectly yet, they hold hands and move forward. The next verse speaks about the waves of emotions between them that they have woven together tightly. It also highlights the comforting eyes of a loved one that can touch the soul even in the present.
The final verse shows how much they have both grown since they met. They have learned to be self-reliant and have found their own way, but they still depend on each other. They believe they can connect even without being side by side, thanks to their understanding of loneliness. The song ends with the promise that they will continue to be there for each other, even when words fail.

lyrics translation:
The sound of my heart throbbing
Unaware, I became familiar with this pleasant feeling
Even when the wind is strong
Don't close your eyes and keep facing forward
When you feel like crying
Remember the promise we silently swore to
The song of baby birds beginning their journeys
Even though they still cannot fly properly yet
Overcome these cyclic times and earnestly
follow the hand you held
The waves of overlapping emotions
are being spun and tied in a tight knot
Before I noticed, I was facing this direction
That tender look of yours still pierces my heart even now
I lost sight of where I wanted to go
because we covered each other
The baby birds beginning their journeys
Each flying towards their individual goal
Knowing loneliness, there is all the more reason
to believe they are connected
Stand by me
I can feel your warmth
even now
The song of baby birds beginning their journeys
Even though they still cannot fly properly yet
Overcome these cyclic times and earnestly
follow the hand you held
So I never let you go!! even if these words
keep dissipating into the skies
I will find you
in this scattered light
