I Want to Be There
Sweet Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard
Lord I want to be there for myself
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard
Lord I want to be there for myself
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard
Lord I want to be there for myself
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard
Lord I want to be there for myself
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard (start to fade out)
Lord I want to be there for myself
There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard
The lyrics to Sweet Symphony's song "I Want to Be There" convey a deep longing to experience a personal and intimate connection with the divine. The repetition of the phrase "Lord, I want to be there for myself" reflects a desire for a direct spiritual experience rather than relying on the perceptions of others. The line "There's no eye that seen, there's no ear that's heard" suggests that this experience cannot be comprehended or expressed through conventional means of observation or communication. It implies that the desire to be in this transcendent state is beyond earthly limitations.
The repetition of the phrase throughout the song creates an almost meditative quality, emphasizing the intensity and sincerity of the longing. The fading in and out at the beginning and end of the song adds a sense of ethereality and mystery.
