And Still It Bleeds
Everon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you walking round the house tonight
Trying to catch a glimpse of what's inside
Driven by some mix of curiosity
And a bit of nostalgia

This advice you should take seriously
What you seek is not in here
So don't come knocking at my door
For you should know that no one lives here
No more...

A glass of wine stands on the table still
And flowers grace the window sill
You see a dim light shining from the fireplace
I notice you stare freezing cold

This advice you should...

In this house
No one lives here
No more...

A love unbreakable until it broke
A dream so real until I awoke
So what you see inside this house tonight
Is the mess you left behind

This advice you should...

In this house
No one lives here
No more...

Don't come here, don't cross my way
Stay out of sight, I don't want to see your face

Don't come here, don't you hear what I say
Leave me alone, I don't want your cold embrace

What you've done to me in the name of love
Wasn't quite what I had been thinking of
My wounded flesh lies open to your scorn
Each and every time we meet

And still it bleeds...

Some experiences in life leave us with wounds,
That keep bleeding even many years after the injury.




They say that time heals all the wounds,
But no one knows how much time will be necessary.

Overall Meaning

The song "And Still It Bleeds" by Everon is about the haunting memories of a failed relationship that still linger and continue to cause emotional pain long after the relationship has ended. The lyrics are poignant and descriptive, offering a glimpse into the depth of hurt caused by love gone wrong. The song opens with the image of the singer catching a glimpse of what's inside the house, a metaphor for the broken relationship, driven by nostalgia and curiosity. However, the advice given is to stay away from this mess, for what once was love, now lies in ruins.


The chorus emphatically repeats the statement that no one lives in this house anymore, emphasizing the finality of the end. The singer details the remnants of their love, a glass of wine and flowers, and how they notice the other person's stare, freezing them with the memories of what was lost. They ask the other not to cross their path anymore, for they do not want to see their face or be in their cold embrace. Every meeting leaves them wounded and hurting, their flesh open to scorn, and the wounds continue to bleed even after so many years.


The song is a reminder that even though some experiences in life may seem to have ended, the pain with which they leave us can continue to haunt us for years. It is a reminder to focus on healing from those wounds instead of dwelling on the pain and allowing those memories to continue to inflict further harm.


Line by Line Meaning

I saw you walking round the house tonight
I observed you wandering around the building tonight


Trying to catch a glimpse of what's inside
Attempting to see inside the place


Driven by some mix of curiosity
Compelled by a combination of interest


And a bit of nostalgia
And some sentimentality


This advice you should take seriously
You should heed this recommendation


What you seek is not in here
You won't find what you're searching for in this location


So don't come knocking at my door
So don't try to contact me


For you should know that no one lives here
You should understand that no one resides here


No more...
No more people live here anymore


A glass of wine stands on the table still
A glass of wine remains on the table


And flowers grace the window sill
Blossoms decorate the window ledge


You see a dim light shining from the fireplace
You note a faint glow emanating from the hearth


I notice you stare freezing cold
I observe that you gaze with a cold manner


In this house
In this building


No one lives here
Nobody currently inhabits this place


No more...
There are no inhabitants here anymore


A love unbreakable until it broke
A relationship that was indestructible until it fell apart


A dream so real until I awoke
A vision that was so convincing until I became alert


So what you see inside this house tonight
So what you notice within this residence this evening


Is the mess you left behind
Is the chaos that you created previously


Don't come here, don't cross my way
Don't come here, don't intersect my path


Stay out of sight, I don't want to see your face
Remain out of view, I don't want to look at you


Don't come here, don't you hear what I say
Don't come here, don't you perceive what I'm telling you


Leave me alone, I don't want your cold embrace
Give me some space, I don't want your unemotional hug


What you've done to me in the name of love
What you've done to me under the excuse of affection


Wasn't quite what I had been thinking of
Wasn't precisely what I had in mind


My wounded flesh lies open to your scorn
My injured body part exposed to your contempt


Each and every time we meet
Every single occasion when we encounter


And still it bleeds...
And it's still bleeding...


Some experiences in life leave us with wounds,
Certain encounters in life produce injuries


That keep bleeding even many years after the injury.
That continue to bleed long after the initial wound


They say that time heals all the wounds,
People claim that time mends all injuries


But no one knows how much time will be necessary.
However, nobody knows how much time is required.
