Stand Still
Embracing Stillness: Finding Serenity Amid Life's Rush
Lyrics
The world keeps moving
The world is in constant motion.
But I am still
The singer feels still or stagnant despite the world's movement.
Blowing right past me
Life is passing by swiftly without the singer actively participating.
Like a breeze through a mill
An effortless flow of time, akin to a breeze through a mill.
I'm told its a race
There's a perception that life is a race.
But that doesn't seem fair
The singer questions the fairness of this race.
The faster I move
Paradoxically, moving faster results in a slower sense of presence.
The slower I'm there
A reflection on the paradox mentioned in the previous line.
Like in a tornado
A metaphorical reference to chaos, and people's fearful reactions.
Everybody seems scared
Continuation of the tornado metaphor, expressing widespread fear.
What will it take
A plea for understanding what it takes to navigate life's challenges.
And who will it spare
A question about who will be affected or spared by life's challenges.
And I try to run
An attempt to escape or keep up with the pace of life.
But it seems I forgot
An acknowledgment of forgetting something important.
So I'll be right here
A decision to stay in the current state, inviting others to join or not.
You can join me or not
A sense of acceptance and presence in the moment.
But I hope you'll stay with me for a while
An expression of hope that someone will stay with the singer.
Please stay with me, just for now
A specific request for someone to stay temporarily.
I know life is passing on through
An acknowledgment that life is continuously moving forward.
But please stay, I wanna stand still with you
An appeal to stay and experience stillness together.
With you by my side I don't feel so old
The presence of someone special diminishes the feeling of aging.
The wind stops howling and I'm no longer cold
A metaphorical shift from a harsh environment to comfort.
I know what surrounds us is trouble and pain
An awareness of the challenges and difficulties around.
But let them moan. In here we'll remain
A decision to remain unaffected and find solace together.
So please stay with me for a while
A repetition of the desire for someone to stay temporarily.
Stay with me, just for now
A repeated plea for a temporary companionship.
I know life is passing on through
A reminder that life is continually moving forward.
But please stay, I wanna stand still with you
A final request to stay and experience stillness together.
