Be Here Now
Gustavo Bertoni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What can I know of the tide turn?
How can I wish to descry
All shades of white, all types of gray?
I've sung
To rebels, old men
The poor and rich
We look for love perpetually
So I'll solely exist
Soulfully grasp each second
I'll take every risk
Disconnect all fear, separateness
I'm done
Trying to win every battle
How can I wish to rejoice
When my mind is stuck in this losing game?
I fall
Deeper and deeper in questions
All of which can only be answered
By living uncertainly
So I'll solely exist
Soulfully grasp each second
I'll take every risk
Disconnect all fear, separateness
Be here now
Don't look down
Be here with me
So I'll solely exist
Soulfully grasp each second
The lyrics of Gustavo Bertoni's song Be Here Now encourage the listener to live in the present moment, to let go of fear and separateness, and to embrace each passing second with a sense of soulful, mindful presence. The opening lines, "I'm young / What can I know of the tide turn? / How can I wish to descry / All shades of white, all types of gray?" speak to the sense of uncertainty and naivety that often accompanies youth; the singer recognizes their lack of experience and desire for understanding, but is aware of the futility of trying to grasp all the nuances of life.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the tension between the desire for control and the recognition that uncertainty and risk are inherent parts of life. The lines "I'm done / Trying to win every battle / How can I wish to rejoice / When my mind is stuck in this losing game?" reflect the exhaustion that comes from constantly fighting against the unpredictability of the world. Ultimately, the singer advocates for a mindset of acceptance and surrender, urging the listener to "be here now" and to fully exist in the present moment.
Overall, Be Here Now is a reflective and introspective song that encourages the listener to embrace uncertainty and live in the present moment with a sense of mindfulness and soulful awareness.

Esteja Aqui Agora
Eu sou jovem
O que eu posso saber da virada da maré?
Como posso querer ver
Todos os tons de branco, todos os tipos de cinza?
Eu tenho cantado
Para rebeldes, velhos
Os pobres e ricos
E tudo o que posso ter certeza é
Nós procuramos amor perpetuamente
Então eu só existirei
Agarrar com alma a cada segundo
Eu vou correr todos os riscos
Desconectar todo o medo, separatividade
Terminei
Tentando vencer todas as batalhas
Como posso desejar me alegrar?
Quando minha mente está presa neste jogo perdido?
Eu cai
Mais profundo e profundo nas questões
Tudo o que só pode ser respondido
Por viver com incerteza
Esteja aqui agora
Não olhe para baixo
Esteja aqui comigo
Então eu só existirei
Agarrar com alma a cada segundo
Eu vou correr todos os riscos
Desconectar todo o medo, separatividade.

@filipedias7284
Cantada em inglês kkkkkkk é um pouquinho trágico, dá uma certa desvalorizada na identidade nacional...
Mas ei, ele era do Scalene ou algo assim? Porque de fato, pensei na banda por alguma razão ao ouvir.
[Edit]: Tá, já descobri, é que não conheço Scalene muito bem
