still
Marge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in it's flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When I say to you

Do you love me
Just like I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight

Just like that moon growing dim




Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night

Overall Meaning

Marge's song "Still" is a beautiful expression of longing and love. The opening lines "In the still of the night, as I gaze out of my window at the moon in its flight" sets the scene perfectly - it creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, the perfect backdrop for contemplating love. The next few lines "My thoughts all stray, stray to you" show that Marge is preoccupied with her love interest, indicating the depth of her feelings.


The second verse "While the world lies in slumber, oh, the times without number when I say to you," reinforces the idea that Marge cannot help but think about her love interest, and that thoughts of them are constantly on her mind. The chorus "Do you love me, just like I love you? Are you my life to be, that dream come true? Or will this dream of mine, will it fade away out of sight?" encapsulates the uncertainty and ambiguity that often characterizes the early stages of a relationship. The fear that one's feelings may not be reciprocated or that the relationship may not work out is palpable.


The final lines "Just like that moon growing dim way out on the rim of the hill, in the still of the night" beautifully tie the song together. The image of the moon growing dim represents Marge's fear that her dream of love may fade away into nothingness. However, the moon's dimming is temporary - just like how Marge's fears may be temporary. The song implies that love is a powerful force that can overcome any obstacle.


Line by Line Meaning

In the still of the night
At the time of silence when everyone is asleep


As I gaze out of my window
When I look out of my window


At the moon in its flight
Towards the moon moving in the sky


My thoughts all stray, stray to you
My mind starts wandering and thinking about you


While the world lies in slumber
When the world is in deep sleep


Oh the times without number
Many times before


When I say to you
When I express to you


Do you love me
Do you have feelings of affection for me


Just like I love you
In the same way that I love you


Are you my life to be
Are you the one I will spend my life with


That dream come true
That wish I have always had


Or will this dream of mine
Will my desire be fulfilled


Will it fade way out of sight
Will it disappear from my vision


Just like that moon growing dim
Similar to the moon becoming faint


Way out on the rim of the hill
On the far side of the hill


In the still of the night
During the peacefulness of the night
