Still
Daughter (Isoline Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each others warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
It's spiraling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each others mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands digging in each others wounds
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to move
It's spiraling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each others mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
I'll wrap up my bones
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each others warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go
The lyrics of "Still" by Daughter/Minorstep explore the complex emotions of a relationship that is spiraling down due to hate and bitterness, yet the two people involved are still holding on to each other with a desperate sense of love. The song's central lyrics state "Two feet standing on a principle, two hands longing for each other's warmth" implying that the two people are clinging onto their values and beliefs but deeply crave each other's affection. The lines "Hate is spitting out each other's mouths, but we're still sleeping like we're lovers" further highlight this paradoxical situation where love and hate coexist in a relationship. The phrase "still in" serves as a nod to the title of the song and seems to indicate that despite the negative feelings, the two people are still bound together in a relationship that is as strong as ever.
The metaphors used in the song are quite powerful as well. The line "cold smoke seeping out of colder throats" could signify that the relationship has become silent and there is a sense of emotional distance between the two people involved. Similarly, the phrase "darkness falling, leaves nowhere to move" suggests that they are both stuck in a dark and difficult situation. The last two lines of the song "I'll wrap up my bones and leave them, out of this home, out on the road" seem to convey a sense of finality or perhaps a desire for escape from the relationship that has become painful and unfulfilling.
Overall, "Still" is a poignant meditation on the complexity of human relationships and the contradictions of love and hate that can coexist within them.

Out on the road
I'll venture out into the unknown
Two feet standing on a principle
We've reached a standstill in our belief system

The lingering comfort in familiarity that is hard to leave behind, even when a relationship has run its course: This song captures it well.

As she sings the chorus the guitar keyboards etc that come in are beautiful and subtle.

Just floating no touch no talking no nothing we are drifting apart my heart lingers for a new start..
@oopscrash2
That painful silence, when u both are awake but not talking, pretending u r not looking at each other and trying to hide how bad it hurts... This is a sad beautiful song.
