I Will Be Here &
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I did, would it matter 'cause
It just wasn't enough
You know when the moment comes
To be strong, to resistance
And that is what
We're lead to believe
And you think that the feeling will linger
You need somewhere to start
I will be here, I will be here
You don't mind if life's not that pretty
It will soon disappear and will be miles away
Away from here
When the big road falls apart
And you think that the feeling will linger
You need somewhere to start
I will be here
And when it all seems to fall apart
You can't breathe
You don't know what you're thinking
You need somewhere to start
I will be here, I will be here
I will be here, I will be here
I will be here (I will be here) I will, I will, I will
When the big road falls apart
And you think that the feeling will linger
You need somewhere to start
I will be here
And when it all seems to fall apart
You can't breathe
You don't know what you're thinking
You need somewhere to start
I will be here, I will be here
When the big road falls apart
And you think that the feeling will linger
You need somewhere to start
I will be here, I will be here
The lyrics to Tiësto's song I Will Be Here express a sense of perseverance and support. The singer reflects on a situation where something went wrong, but acknowledges that even if they knew what went wrong, it wouldn't matter because it wasn't enough. They refer to a moment of needing to be strong and resist, which seems to be a common message in the song. The idea of being lead to believe that we need to be strong is expressed, perhaps suggesting that society has conditioned us to believe this.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "When the big road falls apart and you think that the feeling will linger, you need somewhere to start, I will be here." This is the message of the song, that even when things fall apart and we feel overwhelmed, there is always someone or something that can provide support and help us start again. The song seems to be reassuring the listener that they are not alone, and that someone will be there to help them through tough times.
Overall, the message of the song is one of hope and support. It acknowledges that life can be difficult, and that things will sometimes fall apart, but it also encourages the listener to have faith that there is someone who will be there to help them start again.

I don't know, what went wrong
I am uncertain of what caused this situation
If I did, would it matter 'cause
Even if I knew, would it make a difference?
It just wasn't enough
Our effort or actions weren't sufficient
You know when the moment comes
There is a point in time when it becomes apparent
To be strong, to resistance
To exhibit strength and resilience
And that is what
And that is what we are expected to do
We're lead to believe
We are given the belief that it is possible
When the big road falls apart
When life becomes difficult and uncertain
And you think that the feeling will linger
And you believe that the negative emotions will persist
You need somewhere to start
You require a starting point to move forward
I will be here, I will be here
I will be available and supportive to provide that starting point
You don't mind if life's not that pretty
You are accepting of life's imperfections
It will soon disappear and will be miles away
The negative feelings will pass and seem distant
Away from here
Removed from the current unpleasant moment
And when it all seems to fall apart
And when everything seems to be going wrong
You can't breathe
You feel suffocated or overwhelmed
You don't know what you're thinking
You are unable to process or make sense of the situation
I will be here, I will be here
I will remain present and available as a support system
I will be here (I will be here) I will, I will, I will
I am making a firm commitment to be there for you
