Why Are You Here
Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh まさか君も 来てたなんて
変わってしまったね
Uh 遊び慣れた 奴らしかいない
こんなパーティーなんて

傷つけたのはわかってるさ 目が合うたび胸が

今なら まだまだ やり直せるでしょう
どうして そんな目で見つめるの
素直になれたら 終わることのなかった恋が
また始まりそびれてく
淡い願い すれ違い

Baby 君の隣で 馴れ馴れしく
腰に手まわした オトコは誰?
「やめなそんな奴は」 なんて言えるはずが
今さらないさ 目を伏せた

Uh 来るんじゃなかった
デリカシーのない
こんなパーティーなんて (why did I ever come here?)

「助けて 今すぐ」
ここから消えるよ つらすぎる

今なら まだまだ やり直せるでしょう
あなたに会いに ここへ来たのに
素直になれたら 終わることのなかった恋が
また始まりそびれてく
You know why I say goodbye

あなたが変わったと うわさ聞くたび (うわさだよ)
こころが 裂けそうで

今ならまだまだ
今なら まだまだ やり直せるでしょう (time just passes by)
どうして そんな目で見つめるの
素直になれたら (my heart only knows)
終わることのなかった恋が
また始まりそびれてく
甘い願い すれ違い

You know why I say goodbye
You know why I say goodbye




You know why I say goodbye
今さら (why?) I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Key Feat. CoCo's song "Why Are You Here" depict the complexities of relationships, in particular an individual who finds themselves at a party with their former lover who has seemingly changed and surrounded by people who are more inclined to party and potentially hurt others. The lyrics capture the inner turmoil experienced by this individual upon seeing their former lover and the memories that come flooding back, as well as the conflicting emotions they feel towards this person. The song explores the possibility of starting fresh with their former lover, and questions why they are even at this party to begin with.


The first verse of the song expresses surprise at seeing the former lover at the party, and acknowledges that things have changed between them. The chorus expresses the desire to start anew but questions their former lover's intentions with the looking gaze they give. The second verse acknowledges the initial reason for coming to the party was to see the former lover, yet the conflicting emotions within are making it difficult to stay. The repeated use of the phrase "You know why I say goodbye" throughout the song suggests that the singer has come to a realization that it is time to move on and that this relationship has run its course.


Overall, "Why Are You Here" explores the conflict of wanting to reconnect with someone from the past while acknowledging that things may not be the same and that it may be time to move forward.
