Still
The Mary Onettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long black nights and we could never keep it alright.
Always breaking through another lie.
Too much waiting, tell me if I ever come back.
I could still hear the noise from the heart that kept me up all night.
I could still hear the noise from the thoughts that kept me there.
I can still hear the noise tonight.
Two hearts beating here, I will go far.
Still I can't stop asking how we all get loved.
And words keep running through my mind;
What about the world I never found?
Bring me down to where you are,
can't stop listening to all the things you say.
I could still hear the noise from the heart that kept me up all night.
I could still hear the noise from the thoughts that kept me there.
I can still hear the noise tonight.
I can still hear the noise tonight
I can still hear the noise tonight
Take me through the days, days with you are taking me away
from all the pain, let me use you where you are
I could still hear the noise from the heart that kept me up all night.
I could still hear the noise from the thoughts that kept me there.
Take me through the days, with you
Take me through the days, with you
The Mary Onettes' song "Still" conveys a sense of loneliness and longing as the singer describes their struggles to keep a relationship alive. The opening lines "Too much thinking, where, where do I start? / Long black nights and we could never keep it alright" suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to find a solution to the problems in the relationship. The repeated phrase "too much waiting" echoes this sense of frustration, as the singer wonders if they will ever be able to get back to where they were.
The second verse focuses on the memories and lingering emotions from the relationship. The lines "I could still hear the noise from the heart that kept me up all night / I could still hear the noise from the thoughts that kept me there" hint at a deep emotional connection that is difficult to let go of. The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing the singer's inability to move on.
The bridge introduces a note of hope as the singer declares "Take me through the days, days with you are taking me away / from all the pain, let me use you where you are." This suggests that the singer still believes in the possibility of a future with this person, despite the difficulties they have faced.
Overall, "Still" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships, and the emotions that follow their end.
