Here
DeLong Robert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is long, the roads are dark
The answers are inside the car
Memories focus here without revision
The telephone's on my ear in indecision

We'll meet you in a northern ocean town
We'll drink our own drinks and we'll settle down
Showed up at your doorstep at half past two
And I saw nothing here but you

I saw nothing here but you (5x)
I saw nothing

'Cause broken stuff from seeds of superstition
It seems that logic, it killed them all from our position
We may ascend the treat to look into
And I saw nothing there but you

I saw nothing here but you (2x)

I sent you lilies now I want back those flowers
What could we really have known from 19 hours?




I woke up with posters of drawn film and view
And I saw nothing here but you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DeLong Robert's song Here explore feelings of insecurity, hesitation, and nostalgia. The singer finds himself driving alone on a long and dark night, trying to make sense of his memories and the uncertain future. The car becomes a symbol of isolation, as the answers he is seeking are trapped inside it. Meanwhile, he is on the phone, struggling with indecision and the fear of making the wrong choice.


However, the song takes a more positive turn when the singer refers to meeting someone in a northern ocean town, where they can "drink our own drinks and settle down". This person becomes the anchor and the focus of the singer's attention, almost to the point of obsession. He saw nothing else but them, even in the face of broken stuff from "seeds of superstition". In the end, the singer's nostalgia takes over, as he remembers sending lilies to this person and waking up with posters of drawn film and view. The past becomes a source of comfort and longing, as the present seems too uncertain.


Overall, DeLong Robert's Here is a complex song that merges feelings of insecurity, longing, and hope. It describes a moment of indecision and doubt, where the singer tries to connect with someone from his past in order to make sense of his own present. The song is also filled with symbols and metaphors that enrich its meaning, such as the car, the telephone, and the northern ocean town.

The drive is long the roads are dark
The answers are inside the car
Memories focused here without revision
The telephones on my ear and indecision
I'll meet you in a northern ocean town
We'll drink our own drinks and we'll settle down
Showed up at your doorstep at half past two
And I saw nothing here but you

I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing

God's broken us up from seeds of superstition
It seems to logically kill them off from our position
We made a symmetry to look into
And I saw nothing there but you

I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but you
I saw nothing here but
I saw nothing here
I saw nothing here but
I saw no-

I sent you lilies now I want back those flowers
What could we really have known from 19 hours
I woke up with posters of drawn film in view
But I saw nothing here but you

Your'e Welcome.
