I'll Be There
Finding Light in the Dark: Ocean Velvets' Journey Through Life's Struggles
Lyrics
You've been trying hard to succeed
You've been putting in a lot of effort to succeed
On the wrong side of town, side of town
Struggling in a part of town that's difficult or challenging
You've been trying not to bleed
Trying not to emotionally suffer
When the world gets you down, gets you down
When life becomes overwhelming
And now we're drunk in the city
Currently intoxicated in the city
Blinded by the lights that make you feel alright
Blinded by the appealing aspects of city life
But i'll be there, said that i'd be there
Reaffirming the promise to be there for someone
Walking home in the morning
Returning home in the morning
An empty conversation cause you're alone
Engaging in empty conversations due to loneliness
But i'll be there, said that i'd be there
Reiterating the commitment to be there for someone
I said i'll be there
Repeated assurance of being present for someone
I said i'll be there
-I said that i'd be there
-Cause you just don't care
Implying the person being supported doesn’t care about the promise
And oh i need you home
Expressing a need for the person to return home
Things aren't always like this
Describing the current situation as difficult and not improving
Don't get better like this
-Cause i know that we can try
Belief in the ability to make an effort to improve the situation
To find another way
Hope to find an alternative solution
To make it ok
Trying to make things better or acceptable
You're trying to find your way to me
The person is trying to navigate towards the speaker
Well i won't let you down, let you down
Assurance of not disappointing the person
You don't get nothing here for free
Emphasizing that nothing is obtained without effort
So turn yourself around, turn yourself around
Encouragement to change direction or perspective
Going crazy on the weekend
Engaging in intense activities and socializing during weekends
Meeting up with everyone that you know
-Before you know there's nothing left to say
Realization of running out of meaningful conversation
It's two o'clock in the morning
Time indicating the need to conclude the activities and return home
When there's nothing left it's time to go home
-But i'll be there, said that i'd be there
Repeated affirmation of being present for someone
I said that i'll be there
-I said i'll be there
-I said that i'd be there
-Cause you just don't care
Reiterating the feeling that the person doesn’t value the promise
And oh i need you home
Expressing the speaker's need for the person to come home
Things aren't always like this
Describing the current situation as difficult and stagnant
Don't get better like this
-Cause i know that we can try
Belief in the potential to make an effort to improve the situation
To find another way
Hope to find an alternative solution to improve things
To make it ok
Trying to make things better or acceptable
Cause i know
Belief in finding a different, better path to make things acceptable
We can find another way
-To make it ok
Confidence in finding a solution to make things acceptable
