There For You
Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lately everyone feels fake
Somewhere, I lost a piece of me
Smoking cigarettes on balconies
But I can't do this alone
Sometimes I just need a light
If I call you on the phone
Need you on the other side
So when your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
When you're screaming, but they only hear you whisper
I'll be loud for you
But you gotta be there for me too
But you gotta be there for me too
Last year took a toll on me
But I made it with you next to me
Around the world and back again
I hope you're waiting at the end
But I can't do this alone
Sometimes I just need a light
If I call you on the phone
Need you on the other side
So when your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
When you're screaming, but they only hear you whisper
I'll be loud for you
I'll be loud for you
I got you, I promise
But let me be honest
Love is a road that goes both ways
When your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
But you gotta be there for me too
But you gotta be there for me too
Boy, I'm holdin' onto something
Won't let go of you for nothing
I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you
There was a time that I was so blue
What I got to do to show you?
I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you
Runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you
Runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you
Said, I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you
But you gotta be there for me too
But you gotta be there for me too
The lyrics to Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan's song "There For You" appear to be about the importance of having a support system in life, and specifically, in times of emotional distress. The first verse begins with the singer waking up feeling angry and disillusioned, as though he has lost some important part of himself. He indicates that he copes with this by smoking cigarettes on balconies, a behavior which suggests he is feeling isolated and alone. However, the chorus of the song provides a contradiction to this image of loneliness. It speaks to the idea that there is someone who will be there for the singer when he needs them, even if that person is not physically present in the same room as him. This is important because it implies that even though the singer may feel alone, he is not truly alone in the world, as there is someone who understands him and is willing to help him through difficult times.
The second verse of the song is more optimistic, as it refers to the singer having made it through a difficult time in his life with the help of someone else. He notes that this person was with him "around the world and back again," indicating that they have been through a lot together. The chorus of the song is repeated again, emphasizing the importance of having mutual support in life, as both people need to be there for each other in order to create a strong and lasting bond.
Overall, the song appears to be about the importance of having someone you can rely on, even in the most difficult of times. By emphasizing the idea that support needs to be mutual, the song suggests that the bonds of friendship or love need to be strong enough to withstand anything, and that both parties need to put in equal effort to make it work.

Lyrics just in case anybody wants to sing along:
[Verse 1]
I woke up pissed off today
And lately, everyone feels fake
Somewhere, I lost a piece of me
Smoking cigarettes on balconies
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't do this alone
Sometimes I just need a light
If I call you on the phone
Need you on the other side
[Chorus]
So when your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
When you're screaming, but they only hear you whisper
I'll be loud for you
But you gotta be there for me too
[Breakdown]
But you gotta be there for me too
[Verse 2]
Last year took a toll on me
But I made it with you next to me
Around the world and back again
I hope you're waiting at the end
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't do this alone
Sometimes I just need a light
If I call you on the phone
Need you on the other side
[Chorus]
So when your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
When you're screaming, but they only hear you whisper
I'll be loud for you
I'll be loud for you
[Bridge]
I got you, I promise
Let me be honest
Love is a road that goes both ways
When your tears roll down your pillow like a river
I'll be there for you
But you gotta be there for me too
[Breakdown]
But you gotta be there for me too
[Bridge]
But I'm holding on to something
Wake up if you feel nothing
I'm running, running, just to keep my hands on you
There was a time that I was so blue
What I got to do to show you
I'm running, running, just to keep my hands on you
Running, running, just to keep my hands on you
Running, running, just to keep my hands on you
So I'm running, running, just to keep my hands on you
But you gotta be there for me too
[Breakdown]
But you gotta be there for me too
