Still
Yearning for Stillness: Emotions in Motion
Lyrics
I wish the earth stood still
I desire a moment of stillness and tranquility in the world.
If looks could kill my blood would spill
If intense stares had the power to harm, my blood would spill.
The eyes turned knives are they real
Are the piercing gazes like sharp knives real?
Oh If the clocks would keel
Expressing a wish for time to stand still, avoiding its relentless march.
They decay and the wounds heal
Despite decay, wounds have the capacity to heal over time.
Citrus sweet and the bitter peel
Life has both sweet and bitter aspects, akin to the peeling of citrus.
My senses jeopardized till I feel lungs knocking at my rib cage
My senses are compromised until I feel the urgent beating of my lungs against my rib cage.
It's like I've been played till I watch my strings break
It feels like I've been manipulated until I witness the breaking of the metaphorical strings controlling me.
Been feeling alien on my home world
I feel like an outsider in my own familiar environment.
What I'd give to stay curled as the life core swirls ah
Expressing a desire to remain in a state of comfort while life's core elements swirl around.
No flame in the hearth, A maze in the dark
There is no warmth in my surroundings, and I am navigating through a confusing and challenging situation.
Tinman wishes he didn't wish for a heart just take me apart
Reference to the Tinman from Wizard of Oz, expressing regret for a wish made.
I keep on chasing for you
I persistently pursue something or someone.
You keep on running me too
The pursued entity reciprocates by avoiding or eluding me.
I watch this flower from bloom to wilt I want this still for good
Observing a metaphorical flower's life cycle and desiring a permanent state of stillness and calm.
I keep on chasing for you
Continued pursuit despite challenges and obstacles.
You keep on running me too
The pursued entity continues to resist or avoid.
I watch this flower from bloom to wilt I want this still for good
Reiteration of the desire for a tranquil and permanent state.
Can you wake me when it's over now
Expressing a desire to be awakened when a challenging situation or phase is over.
If only we could quit spinning round
Yearning for an end to the constant, repetitive cycles in life.
Can you wake me when it's over now
Repeating the desire to be awakened when a challenging phase concludes.
