Stand Still
Embracing Stillness: A Musical Journey through Time and Escape
Lyrics
Look at the time, if I don't wake it's gonna pass me by
Feeling the pressure of time passing and the fear of missing out on opportunities.
All these fragments of a day, plans that I laid, are taking over
Various tasks and commitments occupy thoughts and actions, dominating the day.
Much the same, you're right there waiting for the same escape
Shared experiences or circumstances leading to a desire for escape or change.
And if you hide deep inside under the covers, the world above you might just stay away
Suggests the possibility of avoiding the world's demands by hiding away.
Slow, she goes. Slow, she goes
Repetition emphasizing the concept of slowing down or taking things at a slower pace.
Let's drive down the coast, rent out a place
Desire to escape routine and responsibilities by traveling and pausing life's momentum.
Live for a while in an old suitcase
-We both need time to kill, so
-While everyone's feeling the thrill, let's stand still
-Moving fast, each day's an echo of the day just passed
Days feeling indistinguishable from one another, a sense of monotony in life's rhythm.
Tracing lines around the time, filling inside and getting older
Reflection on time passing, marking it with experiences and aging.
But you and I, we'll just get by for a minute, and begin to let it
Optimism about enduring together despite life's challenges and passing time.
Fade away
Letting go of the past or worries to allow them to diminish.
Let's drive down the coast, rent out a place
Reiteration of the desire to break away and find solace in stillness amidst life's chaos.
Live for a while in an old suitcase
-We both need time to kill, so
-While everyone's feeling the thrill, let's stand still
-So silent, we're in the clear
Feeling serene and disconnected from the world, uncertain about the destination but enjoying the journey.
Outside of, who knows where
-On the way somewhere
-Let's drive down the coast, rent out a place
Continued expression of the need to escape and temporarily disconnect from reality.
Live for a while in an old suitcase
-We both need time to kill
-Let's hide down the coast, rent out a place
Emphasizing the importance of taking a break and finding peace amid the rush of life.
Live for a while wherever we lay
-We both need time to kill, so
-While everyone's feeling the thrill, let's stand still
