Be Here
Pantheist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you drift away far away from here
On which cloud can I find you?
You have left this life behind
You met Jesus under the streetlight
I hope you found what you were looking for
You have a look on your face
As if you don't know I exist
I disappeared from your radar
And what you are thinking about, I can only guess
Laying flat on your back
You remain lost
In this endless dream
Will you ever wake up to be with me?
Why aren't you here, just be here
The song "Be Here" by Pantheist is a melancholic piece that speaks about the loneliness and disconnection individuals may feel from the world, as well as from one another. The lyrics tell a story of someone who seems to be lost in their own world, oblivious to those around them. The lines "You are on your own in your little world, and you drift away far away from here" evoke a sense of abandonment and isolation. The singer is searching for the person, asking which cloud they can find them on, indicating their desperate need for human connection.
The lyrics also suggest a longing for a loved one who is absent or perhaps deceased. The line "You met Jesus under the streetlight, I hope you found what you were looking for" is a poignant reference to a person who may have found solace and peace in death. This adds to the overall sense of sadness and loss in the song.
The chorus of the song, "I want you to be here, just be here, Why aren't you here, just be here," highlights the yearning for human connection and companionship. The singer wants the person to be present and accounted for, to be a part of their world, and to stop drifting away. The song speaks to the universal desire for human connection and the pain of loneliness and disconnection.
