Stand by Her Side by Daft Punk is a powerful electronic anthem that tells the story of an unexpected encounter outside a club where a man steps in to defend a woman suffering from abuse. As the antagonist's drug-fueled rage takes over, the protagonist faces physical harm. The song explores themes of courage, morality, and the cost of doing the right thing.
Verse 1:
Outside the club on a Saturday night
Lights flashing, music so bright
Saw her standing, a look in her eyes
But then I saw him, bringing out her cries
Verse 2:
He shouted, he pushed her, it didn't feel right
Heart pounding, stepped in, ready to fight
Never knew this would change my life
In the middle of chaos, the edge of a knife
Chorus:
I stood by her side, I couldn't just flee
Now I'm lying on the ground, broken and free
Was it worth the pain, worth the tears I've cried?
I stood by her side
Verse 3:
He was on something, unpredictable, wild
Eyes of a demon, but she looked like a child
He hit me hard, but I held my stance
In that violent dance, I took my chance
Chorus:
I stood by her side, I couldn't just flee
Now I'm lying on the ground, broken and free
Was it worth the pain, worth the tears I've cried?
I stood by her side
Bridge:
Dark alley, neon glow
Blood on my face, but my heart knows
In the silence, my conscience beats
To stand for the right, though I got beat
Chorus:
I stood by her side, I couldn't just flee
Now I'm lying on the ground, broken and free
Was it worth the pain, worth the tears I've cried?
I stood by her side
Outro:
For every bruise, for every scar
I’d do it again, no matter how far
Was it worth the pride, worth the cost?
To stand by her side, never feeling lost

Song about showing up outside a club and seeing a pretty girl and a man fighting. He's being abusive so I step in to stop him. The guy's on drugs and unpredictable. He kicks the shit out of me.
Was it worth the ass kicking to my pride to do the right thing?
