Still Around
3OH!3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go ahead and burn it down
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

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 3OH!3's song "Still Around" convey a sense of desperation and urgency to the listener as the singer reflects on his life and the people in it. The song essentially is about the singer's desire to see his beloved one last time before he leaves the town he's in, as he is afraid he may never see her again. This is evident from the repeated refrain of "while she's still around," which is a plea for him to be able to see his lover one last time before it's too late. He is willing to risk everything, even his life, to see her again.


The first verse talks about how everyone in this town is drunk, and everything is burning down, creating chaos all around. The singer describes the town as devilish, and it feels like this happens all the time. He wants to turn back and see his beloved one last time, but the circumstances are not allowing him to do so. He knows in his heart that it's essential to see his lover, while she's still around.


The second verse reflects on how this city is just filled with memories and forgotten nights. The singer's only hope is to see his lover once more, and he is willing to wait even if he never gets to see her again. He knows that life is uncertain, and everything can change in an instant. The pre-chorus talks about how people may judge him for drinking, but that won't stop him from doing so because he's trying to make the best of the life he has. He wants to see the truth, no matter what happens in the future.

To get one last look at my baby

While she's still around,
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 enhanced
Forgotten men
My only hope's 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 you're thinking
That won't stop this drinking

When they close the final curtain
You'll get a glimpse of the truth

Cause you're 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

God I miss this kind of under-produced shit from the late 2000's. 💚 It paved the way for the success of bedroom producers today in the music industry. Respect.

Anyone in 2020 looking back at the past? 😁🤣😭
