At that time they were a little known, some would say underground band. All that started to change when the biggest independent label in Poland became interested in them and so came the cd for SP Records called "Musisz to kupić" (1999). After that record the band got their first drummer, before that they played with automatic percussion. You can still hear it in their style.

Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voller Schmerz in seinem Glauben
Kam von diesem kleinen Zimmer
Sein Ein und Alles, seine Flucht vor der Realität
Er spielte und hörte zu
Und Verstand kam besser von seiner Hand
Seine Gefühle in drei Minuten
In seinem Leben brauchte er nur zwei Sachen
Sie und sein Gitarre
Aber dazu war er nicht stark genug um zu tragen
Ein Fluss voller Freuden und Klagen
Dann verlass Sie das Zimmer des Lebens und er war allein
Er rufte nach ihr
Seine Stimme schallte in dem leeren Zimmer
Und er war allein
Nur er und seine Gitarre ohne Saiten
Und die Musik war still…
Seine Gedanken waren so froh wenn er spielte
So schön und bunt
Nichts in der Welt konnte ihn erregen
Er war perfekt wie die anderen
Die Musik war ein Ausweg, eine Medizin für seine Krankheit
Er hatte alles unter Kontrolle, alles war in Ordnung
Tag ein, tag aus, dankte er Gott für seine Hände
Die Musik war sein Verstand
Er spielte lauter und lauter
Aber Zeit war nicht auf seiner Seite
Kaum konnte er seine Finger merken, aber er konnte sie fühlen
Es wurde sehr leise
Und die Musik war still…
Still (my translation)
A music as beautiful and blue as her eyes
Full of pain in his beliefs
Came from this small room
That meant the world to him, being his escape from reality
He played and listened
His mind spoke better through his hands
His feelings in three minutes
Gave her insight to his life
In his life he needed two things only
Her and his guitar
But that he wasn't strong enough to carry
A river of joy and grief
Then she left the room of life and he was alone
He cried for her
His voice echoed in that empty room
And he was alone
Just him and his guitar without strings
And the music was silent...
His thoughts were so bright when he played
So pretty and colorful
Nothing in the world could provoke him
He was perfect as anyone else
Music was his resort, a medicine for his disease
He had everything under control, everything was fine
Day in, day out he thanked God for his hands
Music was his sanity
He played louder and louder
But time wasn't on his side
He could hardly sense his fingers, but he could feel them
It got very quiet
And the music was silent...
The Hurt song "Still" tells the story of a musician who finds solace in his music and his love, but ultimately loses both. The lyrics indicate that the artist's music is fueled by his love for someone special, but that person leaves him behind. The musician's grief leaves him feeling empty and alone, and he hides within his music. Through his guitar, he communicates his thoughts and feelings to the world, but as he plays harder and harder, time begins to slip away from him. The song ends on a melancholy note as the music fades into silence.
The song's themes of loss, grief, and escape are typical of Hurt's style, which often focuses on the darker aspects of life. However, the lyrics also suggest that despite the sadness, there is hope to be found through music. For the musician in the song, his guitar is an extension of himself, and he is able to find comfort in its sound even though the music itself grows silent.
Overall, "Still" is a powerful song about what happens when love and music fail us, and how we can find meaning and purpose even in our darkest moments.
