Still A Friend Of Mine
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know as true as trees are tall
And autumn leaves do fall
Oh, it sometimes rains in paradise
And even the warmest heart can turn to ice

I know it happend to us all
Every kind of people fall
And after all the tears are gone
Do we have the heart to carry on




Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

To think of all the times I hurt you
And never thought it through
Oh, I treated you so badly baby
Could such a cruel heart ever be free

I know it happens to us all
Every kind of people fall
Oh, and after all is said and done
Do we have the heart to carry on

Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

I know as long as I've got you
And we do the things we do
The next time baby
That our love breaks down
I'll do the best that I can
To turn it around

Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

Time and time and time again
I'm gonna be right here for you baby
Seasons come and seasons go
Gonna be right here for you

Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

Here and now, still somehow
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine
Oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Still A Friend Of Mine" by Incognito explores the idea that even when a romantic relationship ends and people may hurt each other, a friendship can still persevere. The metaphor of rain in paradise symbolizes the idea that even as things may appear perfect, they can still go wrong - "And even the warmest heart can turn to ice." The singer acknowledges that they have hurt the friend they are still addressing, but emphasizes that it happens to everyone, "Every kind of people fall." Despite this, the singer is still a friend of theirs and will always be there for them, "Here and now, still somehow, Still a friend of mine, oh you're still a friend of mine."


The lyrics suggest that this is more than a mere friendship and possibly had been a romantic relationship that ended, leaving the singer to realize that they are still in love and always will be. However, the loyalty shared between the two is more important, and the singer is willing to do anything to protect it, even if that means sacrificing their own romantic feelings. The use of "Still a friend of mine" throughout the song emphasizes the value of friendship, even when everything else fades away.


Line by Line Meaning

You know as true as trees are tall
You know deep down inside, without a doubt


And autumn leaves do fall
And just like how the leaves fall, things can change and end


Oh, it sometimes rains in paradise
Even in the perfect moments, hardships and struggles can still occur


And even the warmest heart can turn to ice
Even the kindest person can become cold and distant


I know it happend to us all
I understand that everyone experiences this


Every kind of people fall
No matter who you are, you can still stumble and make mistakes


And after all the tears are gone
After all the pain and suffering fades away


Do we have the heart to carry on
Can we find the strength to move forward


To think of all the times I hurt you
Reflecting back on how I caused you pain


And never thought it through
Without truly considering the consequences of my actions


Oh, I treated you so badly baby
I was unkind and hurtful towards you


Could such a cruel heart ever be free
Can someone who has caused harm truly redeem themselves


I know as long as I've got you
I know that as long as I have you in my life


And we do the things we do
And continue our daily routines and habits


The next time baby
If there ever is a next time


That our love breaks down
If our relationship ever falls apart


I'll do the best that I can
I'll try my hardest


To turn it around
To fix and repair what went wrong


Time and time and time again
Over and over and over


I'm gonna be right here for you baby
I'll be by your side and support you, always


Seasons come and seasons go
Life is constantly changing and evolving


Gonna be right here for you
I'll always be there for you, no matter what
