I'll be there
杉山清貴 Lyrics

"I'll Be There" by 杉山清貴 talks about a couple who used to chase their dreams together but have grown apart due to pursuing their individual dreams. The song talks about how they're both still trying to find their own paths, and while they may have hurt each other along the way, they'll always be there for each other. The song highlights the idea that there's something more important than love: the pursuit of individual passions.

The first verse begins by describing the happy crowds of people in the city on a Friday night, who are seemingly carefree and don't show any signs of issues or worries. However, when the singer of the song is called out by name, they unexpectedly run into their former lover and are greeted with a smile, causing them to feel nostalgic. The next two lines describe the silence that follows as the two lock eyes and recall old memories. The following lines talk about the two characters pursuing their own individual dreams, but not before hurting those around them. The chorus then emphasizes that the singer will always be there for their former lover, come what may.

The second verse talks about how the singer heard that their former lover has gotten married, and even though they are happy for them, they are still holding on to the past. The line about the left hand shining with a wedding ring signifies that the singer is still coming to terms with their former lover moving on. However, the singer still affirms that they will still be there for their former lover no matter what, despite not saying the words "I love you."

Overall, "I'll Be There" expresses the feeling of losing a loved one due to pursuing individual dreams, but still holding on to the memories and being there for each other. It highlights the idea that love isn't everything and that there are more important things to pursue.
