Stand by Me
Echoes of Redemption: Facing Demons and Finding Strength in 'Stand by Me'
Lyrics
There's only so many more dreams for you to chase
There are limited opportunities for you to pursue your dreams.
Only so many more scapegoats
There are only a few people willing to bear the blame for your mistakes.
Willing to carry your sins through the gates
Some individuals are willing to carry the burden of your sins.
And when your ranks grow thin
When your supporters diminish in number.
You'll search my eyes, looking for answers
You will seek answers by looking into my eyes.
But I will turn to you my back, not my face
I will turn my back to you instead of facing you.
There was no god out there
No divine force is willing to accept your sacrifices.
Willing to accept your sacrifice
Your efforts to conceal certain things will be revealed.
Everything you worked so hard to hide away
All that you tried to hide will resurface before your eyes.
Came creeping back in front of your eyes
Demons from your past will remind you that the struggle is ongoing.
Demons from your past
Your past mistakes and challenges.
Letting you know, once and for all
They make it clear that the situation is not concluded.
That this i not over
Emphasizing that the challenges persist.
Reminding everybody around you
Notifying those around you that it's time to face difficulties.
That it's time to award the desert another prize
Suggesting that hardships are a valuable experience.
Stand by me
A call for support and solidarity.
Stand by, stand by me
Reinforcing the need for someone to stand by your side.
Stand by me
A plea for companionship and loyalty.
Stand by, stand by me
Reiterating the request for someone to stand by.
Wandering aimlessly out into the wilderness
Wandering aimlessly without direction.
No purpose, no goal
Lacking purpose or a clear objective.
Constantly looking back over your shoulder
Consistently looking back, possibly with regret.
Desperate to see her coming for you
Anxiously anticipating someone important approaching.
Calling your name, arms stretched out
Hoping for rescue, but it doesn't materialize.
But no one came for you
No one comes to help despite the desperate call.
And the further you got, the deeper you plunged
The farther you go, the deeper you fall into suffering.
Into agony and self-detriment
Sinking into pain and self-destruction.
And at the very bottom of the well of your soul
Reaching the lowest point of your inner turmoil.
In your most personal hell
Your personal hell and deepest struggles.
I turned my face to you
I turned away from you in that moment.
I said your name and I saw you
I called your name, acknowledging your presence.
Stand by me
A repeated call for someone to stand by your side.
Stand by, stand by me
Emphasizing the need for companionship and support.
Stand by me
Reiterating the plea for someone to stand by.
Stand by, stand by me
Continuing the call for solidarity and loyalty.
