Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Holy, Holy .
That Sunlight will shine on you
Just you, and me
Sunlight that comes from You .
Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Holy, Holy .

The JJ and The XX's song Still is a powerful anthem about resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "still moving under gunfire, where the weak lies, when no one's beside," suggest a dangerous and chaotic environment, where there is little support or protection. Despite this, the singer declares that they will fight until the bitter end, refusing to give up even when their "knees cry." The repeated refrain, "till the morning light, and sunlight will shine on me" conveys a sense of hope and determination, as the singer envisions a brighter future where they will finally triumph over their struggles.
The song's focus on resilience and strength in the face of adversity is further emphasized in the verses that follow. The lyrics urge listeners to be cautious and strategic in their approach to life, warning that "rules of engagement" should be followed and intentions kept hidden. However, the song also emphasizes the importance of self-expression and standing up for oneself, noting that "how you make your stand, how you play your plan, that makes you the man."
Overall, Still is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to persevere through difficult times while remaining true to themselves and their values.

Still moving under gunfire
Despite the danger and violence around me, I am still determined to keep moving forward

I will fight, till the end times
I refuse to back down or give up, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges
Till my knees cry
Until I am physically and emotionally exhausted and drained
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
But I will still find the strength to pick myself back up and keep going
In the night sky
Even when things seem dark and uncertain
Where enemies hide

I got summer on my mind, nowhere else though
Lord take me downtown or to you
People show me love but I can't take it
What I said was true, real pain, can't fake it
Still they wanna be with me, still they wanna leave with me
Still they wanna feel like me, still I can't believe it's me
Time you spend on me, I spend mine on being free
On a flight to NYC, I see you when you see me
[Hook]
I wonder why, why you have to lie
When you've seen me cry, when you've seen me shy
When you've seen me high, when you will see me die
[Verse 2]
Where we from, you don't know, you will know where we will go
Yeah I'm here, where are you? There's nothing you can't do
We up in here with one thing on our mind, let's leave with something
Then we play Still Dre, my way, all day, in Beats by Dre
Then we go and get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up
[Outro]
I am S/Y, no lie, at least you get to witness
Kill so many songs, you'd think I have a hitlist
That's Drake, well we love Young Money business
Cause we're young and we get money
