Still
Fires Lyrics

Today (These days)
The present time that the singer is experiencing

I'm shattered (I'm better)
The singer is feeling broken and defeated but is trying to improve

I feel as if I don't matter much (I don't want to feel)
The singer feels insignificant and is trying to avoid feeling that way

Is this the end of me?
The artist is questioning if they have reached their limit and can no longer go on

And I've got (I have)
The artist possesses something

This letter (Forever)
The letter represents something permanent

Unread, I'm glad I never sent it, but (This is all of me)
The letter contains the entirety of the singer's feelings but they chose not to divulge them

You know I'd rather write than speak
The artist prefers to express themselves through writing instead of speaking

It's hard explaining when you're wrong
The artist finds it difficult to admit their mistakes to others

It's hard forgiving when you're strong
The artist finds it challenging to forgive someone when they feel strong and empowered

As I burn out and rot...
The singer is losing strength and vitality

This fire's burning down these walls
The artist is being destroyed by this all-consuming situation

This world's not meant for you, and...
The singer feels out of place and uncomfortable in their environment

I'm still breathing
The singer is still alive and persevering despite their pain and hardships

My lung's bleeding
The singer is in physical pain and struggling to breathe

I'm leaving now
The artist is moving on from the situation

Do we always have to end like this?
The artist is questioning if every situation will end in heartbreak and pain

Air through collapsed lungs
The singer is still breathing despite their lungs being damaged

Today (Today)
The current moment in time that the singer is experiencing

I'm stronger (I'm bitter)
The artist has become stronger through their experiences but also more resentful

Knowing that I don't belong to her (I just want to feel)
The artist has come to the realization that they are not meant to be with this person and is searching for validation

Took you to give me strength
The artist gained strength through the presence of someone in their life

And I use (I have)
The singer is utilizing something

Four letters (Forever)
The four letter word is significant and long-lasting

To form words that help me to forget her (For you to find me)
The singer is using words as a coping mechanism to forget this person and is hoping someone else will find them

You know I only curse when I'm weak
The singer is feeling vulnerable and will resort to cursing

And I'm still breathing without you
The singer is still alive even though this person is no longer in their life

'Cause I'm still breathing
The artist is still alive and persevering through their hardships

And I'm still yours
The artist still has feelings for this person and will always be connected to them
