Will you be there
The Sherlocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tell us what went wrong
Cause we don't see it like you do
You're upon the ice it's looking thin
You're on the outside looking in
You should be alright
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
When you hear them calling
Will you be there to pick them up?
Will you be there?
Lay down on your bed of roses
And take the ship down from your shoulders
You're upon the ice it's looking thin
You're on the outside looking in
You should be alright
When they all stop falling
You'll be nowhere to be seen
You don't know where you're going
But you know just where you've been
And they say
Well every dog will have it's day
And i'ts coming round
When they all stop falling
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
When you hear them calling
Will you be there to pick them up?
Will you be there?
When they all stop falling
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
When you hear them calling
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
The lyrics to The Sherlocks's song "Will You Be There?" delve into the idea of being present for others during difficult times. The singer of the song is asking someone specific, most likely a friend or loved one, if they have the ability to see what has gone wrong and help pick up the pieces. The verses are filled with metaphors, describing the situation as being on thin ice or on the outside looking in. The chorus then asks the question of whether or not the person will be there when those around them need help.
The lyrics are poignant in that they speak to the importance of being present for the people we care about, especially during trying times. The lyrics "take the ship down from your shoulders" offer the idea that we may be carrying too much weight and need to let go, lay down the burden and allow someone else to take over. The chorus repeats the question of whether or not the person will be there when others need them, and the final verse adds to this, questioning whether the person even knows where they are going in life, despite knowing where they have been.
Overall, the lyrics of "Will You Be There?" tell a story of the importance of being present for others and offering them support during difficult times. The metaphor of ice and being on the outside looking in adds to the introspective and emotive nature of the song.
