Stand By Me
The Prize Fighter Inferno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't cry
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we′ll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Stand by me
And darlin′, darlin′, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by
Stand by me
When the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains would crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won′t cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin′, darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by
Stand by me
No, I won′t
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me

I won′t cry
I won't shed any tears
When the night has come
After the day is done and dark covers the land
And the land is dark
The place is enveloped in darkness
And the moon is the only light we'll see
The only light in sight will be the moon
No, I won't be afraid
I won't be scared
Just as long as you stand
If you remain alongside me
Stand by me
Stay near me
And darlin′, darlin′, stand by me
My love, please stand by my side
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Please stand with me right now
When the sky that we look upon
When we gaze upon the sky
Should tumble and fall
If the sky starts falling
And the mountains would crumble to the sea
And even the mountains fall into the sea
No, I won't cry, I won′t cry
I won't weep or shed any tears
No, I won't shed a tear
I won't cry
Just as long as you stand
As long as you're with me
Stand by me
Don't leave me alone
And darlin′, darlin', stand by me
My beloved, stay beside me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Please don't go, stand with me
Stand by me
Promise me you'll stay
Stand by me
I need you with me
Stand by me
Stay close to me

I really really like this. I was never that crazy about this song but this version made me really appreciate it.

This is eerily apocalyptic...and I fucking love it. A proper PFI spin on an absolutely classic song. Top notch stuff Claudio.

You are spoiling us with this stuff, Claudio! I'm excited, and I encourage you to keep expressing yourself creatively, even if it's met with criticism, like the choice to use autotune in More Than Love. I know your fans from years of concerts, and I know that those of us who understand your heart are going to be interested in any creative decision that you make because of the context of the journey that we've been on with you. My boyfriend and I are huge fans, and I always tell him that even if I don't "get" a Prize Fighter or Coheed song immediately, that song could still end up one of my favorites along the way once it washes over me on a repeated listen. In that way, I get to feel connected to something wonderful. Thank you for years of vulnerability and turning your life experiences into art. I'm not sure if it's for our benefit or yours... I hope it's both.

Been wanting more solo material from this genius of a man. His voice is so soothing and healing. You the man Claudio!
Justin Blair
God, Claudio has been showing us his loving side, without contradiction. What a beautifully amazing person.
Wish I could help him build an online business selling merchandise.
