Still Life
Still Life Symphony: Longing, Loneliness, and Sweet Escapes
Lyrics
It's a still life in this boring town
Describes a stagnant, unchanging existence in a dull place.
When you're not around I'm insane
Feeling mentally unstable or distressed when the person addressed isn't present.
And I wish I wasn't so alone
Expresses a desire for companionship, feeling lonely.
Every time you go, go away
The pain experienced when the addressed person leaves.
And one kiss is all it really takes
Emphasizes the impact of a single kiss in bringing relief or happiness.
Just one moment of a sweet escape
Highlighting the power of a brief moment to provide solace or escape.
Yeah
-
Somebody told me
Recollection of someone mentioning missing the speaker's previous self, associated with positivity.
They missed the old me
Longing for past happiness symbolized by sunshine and vibrant landscapes.
Sunshine and fields of green
Reflecting on the sky's beauty but feeling unable to enjoy it fully without the addressed person.
Uh, starin' at sky blue
Expresses reliance on the addressed person for emotional support or direction.
But I can't fly without you
Comparing the inability to function without the addressed person to a feather lacking wind.
Like a feather without a breeze
Suggesting a feeling of confinement and loneliness even in familiar surroundings.
Starin' at walls inside the room
Noticing reminders of the addressed person even in the surroundings, feeling their absence keenly.
Even the shadow's shaped like you
Seeing similarities between shadows and the person, emphasizing their constant presence in thought.
What do I know, other than this feeling?
Recognizing the intensity of the emotional connection despite uncertainty or lack of understanding.
Two in the mornin', wide awake
Struggling with insomnia due to emotional distress.
Too heavy a heart to have to wait
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions and impatience in waiting for resolution or reunion.
All that I need, is to be okay (okay)
Expressing a simple desire for emotional stability and contentment.
Yeah (okay)
-
And one kiss is all it really takes
Reiterating the significance of a single kiss in providing relief or happiness.
Just one moment of a sweet escape
Highlighting the power of a brief moment to provide solace or escape.
It's a still life in this boring town
Repetition of feeling stuck in a static, unchanging environment without the addressed person.
When you're not around I'm insane
Reiteration of feeling mentally unstable or distressed without the addressed person.
And I wish I (yeah, yeah, yeah) wasn't so alone (alone)
Expressing a wish to alleviate loneliness.
Every time you go, go away (yeah, ayy)
Reiterating the pain felt upon the addressed person's departure.
And one kiss is all it really takes
Emphasizing the impact of a single kiss in bringing relief or happiness.
Just one moment of a sweet escape
Highlighting the power of a brief moment to provide solace or escape.
It's a still life (oh, yeah) in this quiet house
Describes a static, silent atmosphere within a home.
Not a single sound (not a single sound)
Emphasizes the absence of any noise or activity in the environment.
In this place (oh, whoa)
-
And I wish I (I wish I), wasn't so alone (wasn't so alone)
Expressing a wish to alleviate loneliness when the addressed person returns.
When you come back home, would you stay? (Woo)
Pleading for the addressed person to stay upon their return home.
I keep missing you more every day, ohh, oh
Expressing a growing yearning or missing the addressed person more each day.
How much longer do I have to wait? (Ooh)
Expressing impatience and a desire for the separation to end.
And one kiss is all it really takes
Emphasizing the impact of a single kiss in bringing relief or happiness.
Just one moment of a sweet escape
Highlighting the power of a brief moment to provide solace or escape.
