Rigmor Gustafsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and that I said that I know that I always will
that for me there’s no one above you
Now there are oceans and heavens between us
and I know time that has passed feels like millions of days
and so I wish that I could say
those feelings are not there anymore
(guitar solo)
I know you have the love that you need
fulfill your life and follow your lead
Life will go on and maybe one day
all my memories fade away
Do you remember I said I adore you
and that I said that I know that I always will
in my life I need nothing more than you
Time has been changing the world that’s around us
and nothing today is the way it was yesterday
and so I wish that I could say
that those feelings are not there anymore
There have been times when I’ve thought I can’t make it
Times I could not understand what all this is for
But I’m still here though I still know
Those feelings will be there forever more
The lyrics of Rigmor Gustafsson's song "Still" are about the enduring power of love despite the passage of time and distance. The first verse highlights the intensity of the singer's love for the person she is addressing, describing how there is "no one above" them. However, the second verse acknowledges the barriers that have arisen between them, with "oceans and heavens" separating them and the long stretch of time that has passed. Despite this, the singer admits that she still feels the same intense emotions for this person, wishing that she could deny them but unable to shake them.
The guitar solo further emphasizes the emotional weight of the song, suggesting the depth of feeling involved. The third verse seeks to console the loved one, telling them that they have all the love they need and should pursue their own path in life. The fourth verse returns to the idea that time has changed everything but that the singer's feelings remain constant. The final lines admit to moments of doubt and despair, but ultimately assert that the love in question will endure forever.
Overall, "Still" is a poignant and heartfelt affirmation of the power of love to endure through all obstacles.
