A Night of Longing and Protection: The Essence of 'Be With Me' by TREASURE
In 'Be With Me,' TREASURE captures the essence of a night filled with longing, protection, and the desire to stay close to a loved one. The song opens with a sense of urgency and a plea to ignore the passage of time, emphasizing the depth of the night under the '파란 moonlight' (blue moonlight). The lyrics convey a reluctance to part ways, suggesting that the night is too beautiful and precious to be spent alone. The repeated lines '조금만 더 볼래' (Can I see you a little longer) and '천천히 천히 가' (Let's go slowly) highlight the desire to prolong the time spent together.
The song also delves into themes of protection and concern. The narrator expresses worry about the loved one traveling alone at night, under the '온통 까만 하늘 아래' (entirely black sky). This concern is further emphasized with the lines '내가 지켜 줄 수밖에 없는걸' (I have no choice but to protect you) and '느껴들이 너를 잡아채 갈걸' (I feel like something might snatch you away). These lines reflect a deep sense of responsibility and care, portraying the narrator as a guardian figure who wants to ensure the safety and well-being of their loved one.
The chorus, with its repeated plea '나랑 있자' (Stay with me), encapsulates the central theme of the song: the desire to remain close and connected. The lyrics '꿈인 듯 꿈이 아닌 듯이 꿈속 같은 너' (Like a dream, not a dream, you are like a dream) and '내 가슴 가득 차게 너를 안아줄 거야' (I will hold you tightly, filling my heart) add a dreamy, almost surreal quality to the song, emphasizing the emotional intensity and the deep connection between the narrator and their loved one. The song beautifully blends themes of love, protection, and the desire to cherish every moment together, making it a heartfelt and relatable piece.
