Stand By Me
Weezer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should 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 by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, oh stand, stand by me
The lyrics to Weezer's Stand By Me capture the essence of emotional support and the importance of having someone by your side during vulnerable moments. The line "And the moon is the only light we'll see" sets a sobering mood, implying that everything else is dark and uncertain. However, the singer finds comfort in the presence of their loved one, indicating a bond that can withstand any obstacle. The repetition of "stand by me" is both a request and a reassurance - they need the other person to be there for them, but they also promise to have the strength to face anything if they're by their side.
The second verse further emphasizes the idea that the world can be unpredictable and chaotic, but the singer won't succumb to despair as long as their partner is with them. The metaphor of the sky falling and the mountains crumbling speaks to how monumental and devastating such events would be, yet the singer remains steadfast, confident in their relationship. The final verse is a plea to "stand by me" during times of trouble, a testimony to the strength that comes from having someone who supports you unconditionally.
Overall, the lyrics to Stand By Me are an ode to the power of companionship and the ways in which having someone to rely on can make all the difference.

When the night has come
When darkness sets in
And the land is dark
And everything is difficult to see or understand
And the moon is the only light we'll see
And there is only minimal hope to be found
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
I have nothing to fear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So long as someone is here for me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
I ask for you to stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
If our future appears bleak
Should tumble and fall
And our world collapses
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
Or if the most unyielding things break apart
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
I will not be upset
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So long as someone is here for me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh stand by me
I promise to be there for you

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
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So, darling, darling
(Chorus:)
Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should 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, darling, darling
(Repeat chorus)
Darling, darling

Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should 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 darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me...

It's impossible to not sing along. You really outdid yourselves here, Weezer.

This album is so spread out in it's choice of songs. The fact that this is on the same album as "Paranoid" and "No Scrubs" proves it. I love it.
