Still Life
Ethereal Yearning: Unraveling the Depths of 'Still Life'
Lyrics
Close enough to feel
Feeling physically close
Electricity of your skin
Sensing the energy or vitality in someone's skin
It's cold and white
Describing a cold and pale appearance
It makes me want to see if you
Curiosity about someone's existence or state of being alive
Are still alive
Questioning if the person is still living
Close enough to feel
Proximity enough to sense reality isn’t as it seems
That none of this is real
Realizing that what's perceived might not be real
Somniferous illusions
Illusions that induce sleep-like states
Tend to drag me into sleep
These illusions tend to pull one into slumber
And I know
Awareness of the ongoing flow of things
Rivers flow
Recognition of ongoing processes like rivers flowing
As well while I am gone
Things continue even when one is absent
Flowers grow
Life's cycles persist, like flowers growing
And life just carries on
Life carries on regardless of personal experiences
I feel enough to know
Feeling enough to realize patience is diminishing
My patience is wearing low
Recognizing the dwindling of patience
It's turning thin
Patience wearing thin
I fear it's time to begin
Sensing it's time for a descent or decline
The fall
Anticipating or initiating a fall or decline
And time is passing by
Time passing by unnoticed
As it shadow-veils my eyes
Time obscuring or concealing perception
And though it seems
Suggesting someone's absence or disappearance
That you have disappeared
Feeling like someone has vanished
I'm waiting still
Waiting despite someone's absence
And I feel
Experiencing deep emotions
So sad
Feeling intense sadness
For all the words I've said
Regret for spoken words
You are
Acknowledgment of someone's existence elsewhere
You're on the other side
Realization that someone is beyond reach
Of my sleep
Imagining someone in a dream-like state
I'm dreaming you are real
Believing someone exists within a dream
So I am
Feeling entangled in sadness while someone is elsewhere
Laced in sadness while
Experiencing sorrow while someone is distant
You are you're on the other side
Acknowledgment of someone's absence or separation
