Bigwig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these thoughts my mind's just reeling,
Confused and dumb in my regrets,
I hope it's not too late yet.
I miss you yes it's true,
It's been two months and I'm the fool,
I don't know what's keeping me from you.
New adjustments it's been so long.
A lot's gone right but mostly wrong,
I hope someday you hear this song.
I miss you yes it's true,
It's been two months and I'm the fool,
Two thousand miles away from you.
This place is bringing me down,
Because you're not ground.
It's hard to find the time,
When I can,
I know I'll make you mine.
Well, it kills me to hear.
All good things come to an end.
No matter what, open arms and open ears,
A shoulder to cry on.
All good things come to an end,
No matter what, I'm still a friend.
The song "Still" by Bigwig reflects on the feelings of regret and confusion that arise after a relationship ends. The singer is struggling to communicate his emotions and doesn't understand what went wrong. He admits to missing his partner, despite feeling like a fool for the distance that has grown between them. However, he seems hopeful that there is still a chance to make things right.
The line "It's hard to explain what I've done wrong, new adjustments it's been so long" suggests that the singer has made mistakes in the relationship but may not be entirely aware of what they were. He admits that there have been some positive changes in his life, but the negative aspects have overshadowed them. The distance between him and his partner is wearing him down, and he yearns for the comfort she provided.
The chorus repeats the singer's confession of missing his partner, and he laments the fact that he is powerless to change their physical distance from each other. The lyrics "This place is bringing me down, because you're not ground" is a metaphor that expresses how the singer feels lost and adrift in the world without his partner's support.
Overall, the song displays a sense of vulnerability and honesty that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup. Despite the difficult emotions, the singer holds out hope that their relationship can be repaired, and he wants his partner to know that he is still a friend, no matter what.
