still
Dillon Bhana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An hour of nothing passes me by
And it feels like I've been standing still
While I watch my world spin
Have I been standing still
While I watch my world spin
Before I know it, the day calls the night around
And it feels like I've been standing still
While I watch my world spin
Have I been standing still
While I watch my world spin
Maybe I could've changed the world
Maybe I could've
Maybe I could've fallen in love
Maybe I could've
The lyrics of Dillon Bhana's song "Still" present a picture of someone who feels like they have been standing still while watching the world move around them. The first lines, "Little birds are learning how to fly, An hour of nothing passes me by," paint an image of nature's progress taking place while the singer feels stagnant. The concept is further explored with the lines, "Leaves are falling to the ground, Before I know it, the day calls the night around."
The repetition of the chorus of "And it feels like I've been standing still, While I watch my world spin, Have I been standing still, While I watch my world spin" emphasizes the theme of feeling stuck and disconnected from what is happening around them. It heightens the sense of introspection and questioning, as if the singer is wondering what they could have done differently.
The last lines of the song, "Maybe I could've changed the world, Maybe I could've, Maybe I could've fallen in love, Maybe I could've" leave the listener with a sense of regret and missed opportunities. It's a powerful and relatable sentiment, as many people have probably felt that they have gotten stuck in a rut and missed out on opportunities in life.
