BE THERE

人は流れる
楽し哀しく歌って踊ってみんな
まとめて寂しがり屋
揺れる不安定な心は
この街がすこし冷たいから
変わらない君の言葉を聞きたい今夜は
Someone tell me 何かが動きだしている
Something goes wrong 僕の中でもきっと
Someday show me 誰もが行先まちがえても
君だけはそこにいて Be there anytime
日変りでとびこむどこかの国の
新しいRevolution
自分もかわらなけりゃと思いはじめれば
いてもたってもいられないね
流行りすたりを相手に奪いあってる主導権も
変わらない君の笑顔にあえばくだらないことみたい
Someone tell me 何かが動きだしている
Something goes wrong 僕の中でもきっと
Someday show me 誰もが行先まちがえても
君だけはそこにいて Be there anytime
Someone tell me 何かが動きだしている
Something goes wrong 君のまわりでも少しずつ
Someday show me どんなに時代が流れても
君だけはそこにいて Be there anytime
Someone tell me...
Something goes wrong...
Someday show me...
君だけは Be there anytime
Someone tell me 何かが動きだしている
Something goes wrong 君のまわりでも少しずつ
Someday show me どんなに時代が流れても
君だけはそこにいて Be there anytime
The song "BE THERE" by B'z is a reflection on the fleeting nature of life as people go about their daily routines in a colorful city full of lights. It acknowledges the fact that everyone is lonely, even though they may not show it, and sometimes all a person needs is someone to be there for them. The lyrics talk about the struggles people face with their unstable emotions, and the need for a constant source of comfort and stability.
The singer is asking for someone to tell him what is happening as something seems to be wrong both within himself and around him. It is a call for help, a reminder that everyone is fighting their own battles, and sometimes they need someone to be there for them. The song emphasizes the importance of having someone to rely on, to share the ups and downs of life, and to be there for them whenever they need it.
Through its insightful and touching lyrics, "BE THERE" reminds us that regardless of what we're going through, someone is always there for us, and all we need to do is reach out.
