Always Be There
Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When lines run deep and when I'm old
Will you be there for me?
Will you always be there?
Will you always be there?
Fear of loneliness on a lonely planet
Fear of having it all and then not to have it there
Will you always be there?
There for me?
(Will you always be there?
Will you always be there?)
Bathed in the celestial bloom of your embrace
Let's play with the stars
This is our universe
The lyrics of Basement Jaxx's song "Always Be There" speaks about the fundamental human need for companionship and love. The opening lines "Feed me hungry, feed me cold, when lines run deep and when I'm old, will you be there for me?" is an expression of vulnerability and the need for support. It is an admission that the human experience can be difficult, and we need someone who will always be there for us, even in the darkest moments.
The next lines, "Fear of loneliness on a lonely planet, fear of having it all and then not to have it there" touches on the fear of being alone and the fear of losing what we have. The lyrics acknowledge that these fears can be overwhelming, but with the right person by our side, we can face and overcome them. The chorus's repetition of the line, "Will you always be there?" is a plea for reassurance and an affirmation of the importance of a steadfast presence in our lives. The last lines of the song capture the hope for love, "Bathed in the celestial bloom of your embrace, let's play with the stars, this is our universe." It is a declaration of the comfort and power of love and the universe it creates.
