Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Holy, Holy .
That Sunlight will shine on you
Just you, and me
Sunlight that comes from You .
Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire

The JJ and The XX's song Still is a powerful anthem about resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "still moving under gunfire, where the weak lies, when no one's beside," suggest a dangerous and chaotic environment, where there is little support or protection. Despite this, the singer declares that they will fight until the bitter end, refusing to give up even when their "knees cry." The repeated refrain, "till the morning light, and sunlight will shine on me" conveys a sense of hope and determination, as the singer envisions a brighter future where they will finally triumph over their struggles.
The song's focus on resilience and strength in the face of adversity is further emphasized in the verses that follow. The lyrics urge listeners to be cautious and strategic in their approach to life, warning that "rules of engagement" should be followed and intentions kept hidden. However, the song also emphasizes the importance of self-expression and standing up for oneself, noting that "how you make your stand, how you play your plan, that makes you the man."
Overall, Still is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to persevere through difficult times while remaining true to themselves and their values.
