Stillness In Time
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which I cannot define
Does your heart bleed like mine
Oh does your heart yearn
For a place we can go
Where the troubles of our time are far away
Hey they're so far away
And I had all my life in front of me
There are so many wondrous things for you to see
If you find that something is going wrong
Look around at what you're running from
You can wait a thousand years in line for that stillness in time
Oh yeah
I felt love in that way
And I'm never sad and I'm always glad
Anything you give me today
I will be thankful for
People find it hard to be strong
Cos they don't know where they're coming from
There was nothing i could do but hang on
For that stillness in time
If this world is turning too much for your head
Just remember happy times comes running still
Guess i have to search the spaces of my mind
For that stillness in time
I know that this
Is peripheral side of bliss
There is no me
For the love i have will stay the same
I have done wrong
If i don't know where i'm coming from
Ever knows he
The things that are inside me
A part of me In front of me
Oh say its all around me
Say i know
Say i want to find that stillness in time
Stillness in time

Line by Line Meaning
There's a stillness in time
There is a quiet and peaceful moment in time
Which I cannot define
It is difficult to explain
Does your heart bleed like mine
Do you feel the same pain in your heart as me
Oh does your heart yearn
Do you long for
For a place we can go
For a destination where we can escape
Where the troubles of our time are far away
Where the problems of the current time are distant
Hey they're so far away
They are really far away
And I had all my life in front of me
I had a whole life ahead of me
Now my darkest days are trouble free
Now I am free from troubles in my darkest days
There are so many wondrous things for you to see
There are many amazing things for you to witness
If you find that something is going wrong
If you notice that something is not right
Look around at what you're running from
Examine what you are trying to escape
You can wait a thousand years in line for that stillness in time
It may take a long time to reach that moment of tranquility and peace
Oh yeah
Expressing affirmation and agreement
I felt love in that way
I have experienced love in a certain manner
And I'm never sad and I'm always glad
I am never unhappy and always joyful
Anything you give me today
Whatever you offer me today
I will be thankful for
I will express my gratitude
People find it hard to be strong
Individuals struggle to remain resilient
Cos they don't know where they're coming from
Because they are unsure of their origins
There was nothing I could do but hang on
I had no choice but to hold on and persevere
For that stillness in time
For that peaceful moment in time
If this world is turning too much for your head
If the world is overwhelming for you
Just remember happy times come running still
Remind yourself that there are joyful moments to look forward to
Guess I have to search the spaces of my mind
I suppose I need to explore my thoughts and imagination
I know that this
I am aware that
Is peripheral side of bliss
Is a minor aspect of happiness
There is no me
There is no individual self
For the love I have will stay the same
My love will remain consistent
I have done wrong
I have made mistakes
If I don't know where I'm coming from
If I am uncertain of my origins
Ever knows he
He always knows
The things that are inside me
The emotions and thoughts that reside within me
A part of me in front of me
A segment of my being is in front of me
Oh say it's all around me
Oh, claim that everything is surrounding me
Say I know
Assert that I am aware
Say I want to find that stillness in time
Affirm that I desire to seek that moment of tranquility and peace
Stillness in time
Peaceful moment in time

Very good cover of an awesome song! I love Jamiroquai, it's one of my favorite badns of all time and I never thought Calvin Harris (another great artist) would've done his version of the song. Very good!!:D

I was in a record shop today and saw a few copies of Radio 1 Established 1967. This was listed on it and is actually exclusive to it. Definitely passed me by, but it's got a great sound. I'm a fan of Jamiroquai too and I read that they were one of Calvin's influences when starting out.
