Still
3/4 Peace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drunk and so is everyone else
In this devil town
They wont let me turn around
To get one last look at my baby,
While she's still around
While she's still around
While she's still around
Go ahead and build it up again
This cities just cemeteries and forgotten nights,
And my only hopes is to see you
And even if I never do
While she's still around
While she's still around
While she's still around
While she's still around
And I know what your thinkin'
But that wont stop this drinking
It's the least I can do
'Cause this life is anything but certain
When they close the final curtain
You'll get a glimpse of the truth
'Cause your
While she's still around
While she's still around
While she's still around
While she's still around
Go ahead and burn it down
I'm drunk and so is everyone else in this devil town
The lyrics of 3/4 Peace's song "Still" describe a sense of desperation and loss. The singer is in a "devil town" - a place that is dark and filled with despair. They appear to be drunk, along with everyone else around them, suggesting that they are trying to numb their pain or escape from their reality. The singer wants to turn around and take one last look at someone they love, their "baby", but they are unable to. This could suggest that they have lost this person, or perhaps that they are leaving them behind as they move on to something new.
In the second verse, the singer wants to "build it up again", but they feel that the city is full of cemeteries and forgotten nights. They don't have much hope for the future, but their one desire is to see the person they love. Even if they never get to see them again, they want to hold onto the memory of them while they still can. The chorus repeats the line "while she's still around" multiple times, emphasizing the urgency of holding onto what is important in life before it's too late.
The bridge of the song suggests that the singer is aware that their drinking is not a solution to their problems, but it's the only thing they can do in the moment. They know that life is unpredictable, and that anything can happen at any moment. When the "final curtain" closes, all that will be left is the truth, and perhaps the memory of the people they love. The song ends with the repetition of the first verse, as if to suggest that the cycle of pain and despair continues.
