Overview

"Stand by My Side" was demoed acoustically at the band's rented office space on September 7, 2003[1], as a potential track for the band's planned fifth album. The song was one of hundreds of demos leaked onto riverscuomo.com on November 7, 2020. A few days later, on November 11, the song was listed and quickly sold to a user on the site's demo storefront, where it was thereafter shared among fans. The song was soon after released on November 22 as part of the digital compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.

Lyrics

Can you help me
Try to break free
Of the shame I'm in?
All these people
Slinging arrows
Throwing stones at me

Stand by my side
Stand by my side, oh no
I cannot hide
Stand by my side, oh no

What did I do
To deserve this?
Was I all that bad?
Can you show me
Human kindness
Hasn't died for good?

Stand by my side
Stand by my side, oh no
I cannot hide
Stand by my side, oh no
