David Guetta feat. Ava Max Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're faded and alone
And need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da

Summer days, winter nights
Ride or die, right by you side
Killing time 'till you're ready to see I'm all you need
You're a drunk, you're a fool
I'm insane, so right for you
When the ship goes down
Look in your dreams, that's where I'll be
'Cause I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
But I wanna-wanna-wanna-wanna
Just stay the night

When you're faded and alone
And need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da (And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be)
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

'Cause I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
But I wanna-wanna-wanna-wanna
Just stay the night
And I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
Oh, no-no-no
I won't let you, won't let you go

When you're faded and alone
And need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da (And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be)
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da

Overall Meaning

The song "Be" by David Guetta featuring South African singer-songwriter, CeCe Rogers has upbeat electronic dance music with a message of comfort for people who feel alone and need someone to talk to and turn to when times are tough. The lyrics speak of being there for someone when they’re lost or in pain. When a person feels alone and needs someone to be there, that someone is the person who’s singing the song. He is reassuring them to come and talk to him, he will stay the night, and they will be alright. The chorus to the song stresses that he will show them love in the way it’s supposed to be, which means that he wouldn’t take advantage of them while they might be vulnerable. The song reminds the listener that in times of trouble, there is always someone to turn to.

The verse one opens with lyrics that speak to individuals who feel in need of company while they get drunk or consume drugs. He urges these people to think of him when they are in need of somebody on the phone. Additionally, when someone is messed up because of a broken heart, he says he will be there to help them forget their troubles with a high. The second verse speaks of a commitment to be there for the listener through all seasons, the good and the bad, and that they will persist until the listener is ready to see that they are all they need. The chorus then repeats to emphasize the sense of assurance that he provides for the person feeling alone and lost.
