Still
Bella Morte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We end another day and stars light up the skies
So lay your hand in mine your head upon my arm
The stars, they burn like eyes
The stars all burn for us
Come stand by me, laughter calls and drives the wind
It binds us close alone but for
The sparks of heaven's smile
To walk the world, through heavens gate
We'll shine and light the sky
We have come so far, yet there is far to go
Still the stars burn bright; still our eyes burn true
And as the worlds we walk alone
And as the stars, we will never fade
The lyrics of Bella Morte's song "Still" tell a story of two people who have been on a long journey together. The first few lines set the scene: they are in a cold, icy place, and they are alone. However, the stars shining in the sky bring them comfort and companionship. The singer encourages their partner to take their hand and rest their head on their arm. The stars that are burning brightly above them seem to burn only for them. Laughter calls out to them, and they feel the wind at their backs.
The second verse reinforces the idea that they have been traveling a long time, but they are still going. They have come far, but they still have far to go. Yet they are not alone, and they will never fade away. The lyrics suggest that they will continue to find comfort in each other and in the stars above, that their journey will be long but worthwhile. The song leaves an impression of quiet strength, endurance, and the value of human connection.
Overall, the lyrics of "Still" ask us to reflect on the nature of companionship, the journey of life and the idea that we are never truly alone. The setting of the lyrics is important, a bleak and desolate landscape in which the stars bring comfort and light. It suggests that sometimes the most important things are the simplest ones, like a warm hand to hold or a reassuring voice.
