Turn Around And Look At Me
Bee Gees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is someone walking behind you,
Turn around, look at me.
There is someone watching your footsteps,
Turn around, look at me.

There is someone tells you love you,
It's my heart, it's my heart,
Turn around, look at me, at the start.

There is someone standing beside you,
Turn around (turn around), look at me (look at me).
There is someone to love and guide you,
Turn around (turn around), look at me (look at me).

I'll be waiting for now and forever
For you to come to me.
Turn around, look at me,
Turn around, look at me.

I'll be waiting for now and forever
For you to come to me.




Turn around, look at me,
Turn around (turn around) look at me.

Overall Meaning

The Bee Gees' song Turn Around Look at Me is a love song that describes the feelings of a person who is in love and is looking for a way to express it to his or her beloved. The first two lines of the song, "There is someone walking behind you, turn around, look at me" implies that the person is secretly following the beloved, and is hoping that he or she will notice them. The lines "There is someone watching your footsteps, turn around, look at me" suggest that the person is observing the actions of the beloved, and is hoping to become a part of their life.


The next verse says "There is someone tells you love you, it's my heart, it's my heart, turn around, look at me, at the start." This line shows that the person is afraid to directly confess their love, and so they are hoping that the beloved will recognize the feelings they have inside. The lyrics "There is someone standing beside you, turn around (turn around), look at me (look at me)" suggest that the person is right beside the beloved, but is still going unnoticed.


The chorus of the song repeats "I'll be waiting for now and forever for you to come to me. Turn around, look at me, turn around (turn around), look at me" which highlights the hope and perseverance of the person in love. The person is waiting for the beloved to recognize their love, and is willing to wait forever for this to happen.

Amo bee gees. Eternos

Immediate activation of the Higher Self when you listen to this song. The one behind you is you, it's your own Shadow, the unconscious, dark side of you. Once confronted and put under control, the Higher Self rains down pure bliss and Light on you. This is a very powerful song. I can't even contain myself when I listen to it. Pure bliss, pure euphoria, pure catharsis, pure enthusiasm, the very presence of the Divine.
