William Beckett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That stretches toward the truth
And it might go on forever
I confess
There's an empty shell
That's broken, battered, bruised
Only not when we're together
Oh
Tonight I'm by your side
Even in your darkest hour
I swear I'm not lying
Even when sweet turns sour
I will be by your side
We could lie
Like runaway trains exploding off the tracks
And I think about our daughter
And survive
Forget all the things I wish I could take back
And remember what we taught her
Yeah, remember what we taught her
Alright
Tonight I'm by your side
Even in your darkest hour
I'm swear I'm not lying
Even when sweet turns sour
I will be by your side
By your side
By your side
Yeah
Tonight I'm by your side
Even in your darkest hour
Tonight I'm by your side
Even in your darkest hour
I swear I'm not lying
Even when sweet turns sour
Even in your darkest hour
I will be by your side
The song "By Your Side" by William Beckett is about unconditionally standing by someone's side through thick and thin, even in their darkest hour. The opening lyrics "Get some rest, it's a winding road, that stretches toward the truth, and it might go on forever" suggest that the journey that life takes us on can be difficult and lengthy, but it's necessary to take breaks along the way to regain strength. The singer acknowledges that life has left them feeling "broken, battered, bruised," but they feel whole when they're with the person that they love.
The chorus emphasizes the commitment of the singer to stand by their loved one's side, regardless of the difficulty they face. They emphasize that their loyalty will remain even when circumstances turn sour, like "runaway trains exploding off the tracks." The line "And remember what we taught her" suggests that they have a daughter together, and they want to lead by example for her to see how to navigate tough times while staying committed to the ones they love. The repetitive "By your side" in the song's outro emphasizes the singer's loyalty, again reminding the person they love that they're never alone.
Overall, "By Your Side" is an uplifting song about dedication, endurance, and unconditional love. It acknowledges that life is tough, but it's crucial to have someone to lean on in the difficult times. It's a reminder that standing by someone's side doesn't mean when things are easy, but during the struggles as well.
Line by Line Meaning
Get some rest, it's a winding road
Take a break, life is a long and unpredictable journey
That stretches toward the truth
A journey that leads us to seek the truth of life
And it might go on forever
It may seem never-ending, but we must keep moving forward
I confess
Admitting to the presence of something that might be hidden or not easily known
There's an empty shell
A person who is empty, lost, and broken inside
That's broken, battered, bruised
Someone who has been hurt and suffered from the events of life
Only not when we're together
But when we are together, we find comfort and strength to face the challenges
Tonight I'm by your side
I will be with you no matter what happens tonight
Even in your darkest hour
I will stay by your side when things look bleak
I swear I'm not lying
I promise that I am not being dishonest
Even when sweet turns sour
Even when things get tough, I will not leave your side
We could lie
We could pretend everything is okay
Like runaway trains exploding off the tracks
Like out-of-control situations that can cause chaos and destruction
And I think about our daughter
And I remember the good things in our life, like our child
And survive
We can get through anything together
Forget all the things I wish I could take back
Let go of the past and focus on moving forward
And remember what we taught her
Remember the values we have taught our child
Tonight I'm by your side
I will be there for you tonight
By your side
Right beside you, never leaving your side
Yeah
Expressing agreement and assurance of support
Even in your darkest hour
I will be with you even in your lowest moments
I will be by your side
Assuring and reaffirming the commitment to stand by each other
