Still
Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to die
I just want to be dead for a while
A hibernation I suppose
Just a chance to rest my goddamn mind
Everyone that I've ever known has gone down the rabbit hole
Left me in my best suit
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober
Still sober
Still sober
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober




Still sober
Still sober

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hope's song Still is about the intense mental and emotional exhaustion one feels from dealing with the weight of loss, grief, and heartbreak. The opening line, "I don't want to die, I just want to be dead for a while," is a metaphor for the need to escape from the pain without actually dying. The song speaks to the urge to withdraw from the world for a while and to rest one's troubled mind - to take a break from the everyday stresses of life. Here, the artist is hinting that he/she has been going through a lot and is more than ready for a break.


The following line, "A hibernation, I suppose," compares the desire to take a break to the way animals hibernate during winter. The artist wants to achieve a state where he/she is completely shut off from the problems and difficulties of life. However, the artist also acknowledges that problems do not go away by themselves - "Everyone that I've ever known has gone down the rabbit hole, left me in my best suit." Through this line, the artist is reminding the listeners that life goes on, and it's important to catch up with it sooner or later.


The lines "I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars/You are all that I have left when I'm still sober" express a deep sense of loss and disillusionment. The artist desperately wants to feel something other than pain, and drunkenness offers a temporary reprieve. The way the chorus repeats itself with the same sense of longing and despair – "Still sober" – shows the continued struggle of the artist to address their pain and wounds.


Overall, Still is a deeply poignant song that mirrors the emotional turmoil that the artist, and many people, go through. The song is an excellent piece of work meant to offer solace and a listening ear to those going through a tough time.

I take those negative words captive over you and declare them null and void in Jesus name dear Lulu! I declare that Jesus is your way maker, your rock, your fortress and your strong hold!!! I declare Christs abundant love and wholeness over you, and declare that the enemy must flee from you in Jesus mighty name and that by HIS stripes you are healed!!!!
I speak life over you and your mind...for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7.

In Jesus name I pray! All glory to you ABBA!!

Psalm 118: 17
You should not die but live and declare of the works of the Lord!!!!

God bless you and your mind.

Congrats to you!! Keep going

@Typenice

Amen Delvan! God has it won already! I pray that you allow the alcohol to be crucified at the cross where Jesus already won the battle so it will remain removed forever! I also pray He continues to show His heart to you so you can continue to surrender every scar and hurt habit and hangup. "The only scars in Heaven are on the hands of the one who holds you now" we are pure in His heart and eyes ! Praise God

@radmarieawesomesauce2785
