Still Remains is a melodic metalcore band from Grand Rapids, Michigan, signed to Roadrunner Records, who formed out of previous Grand Rapids based hardcore band Shades Of Amber and released their first EP in October 2003. Still Remains notably joined Welsh metal band Bullet For My Valentine, along with Hawthorne Heights and Aiden on the Kerrang XXV Tour as well as touring with Trivium, 3 Inches of Blood, and The Agony Scene in the UK for the 2005 Roadrage tour which saw the tour end at The Download Festival in Donnington.
Still Remains are known for their unique sound, by incorporating keyboards into American modern metal sounds, to create a distinct, euro-metal influence in their music.
As well as their early EPs, Still Remains have three releases to their name. "If Love Was Born to Die" was released in 2004 on Benchmark Records. "Of Love and Lunacy" was released in May 2005 on Roadrunner Records and their last album "The Serpent", Which was released July 31, 2007.
Still Remains broke up on March 25th, 2008 , telling their fans; "It’s been an amazing run but we are done for personal reasons. No we don’t hate each other or want to punch each other in the face. It’s just time for us to move on to different things in our lives", and thanking them for their continuing support.
In March 2011, the band reunited to play Haste The Day's farewell show in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two months later they announced that the reunion would be permanent.
In March 2013 the band launched a Kickstarter campaign to help raise $15,000 to fund the completion of a new album. They raised nearly $20,000 in total and their third album "Ceasing to Breathe" was released on December 17th 2013. It was released independently and sold through their website and Facebook page.
The band do not currently have any plans to tour due to family commitments and lack of financial viability.

Still Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over your shoulder
To see what could have been
Do you want to see
What used to be
Someone you called friend
Dance with me
These sheets we're wearing
Perfect for the occasion
This is where we dance tonight
All that you have to do
Is keep what we held onto
This is where we dance tonight
Tonight, tonight
Voices talking
He said she said
I don't care about that
This sensitive silence
Between you and I
I will be the one to break it
These sheets we're wearing
Perfect for the occasion
This is where we dance tonight
All that you have to do
Is keep what we held onto
This is where we dance tonight
Tonight, tonight
Dance with me
To finish what was lost (finish what was lost)
What was lost
These sheets we're wearing
Perfect for the occasion
This is where we dance tonight
All that you have to do
Is keep what we held onto
This is where we dance tonight
Tonight, tonight
The lyrics of Still Remains's song, Dancing With The Enemy, are quite cryptic. The song starts with looking back, over the shoulder, to see what could have been. The singer questions whether the person wants to see what used to be someone they called a friend. This suggests that something went wrong in their friendship, and the singer is trying to reconcile with their former friend, who is now an enemy. Hence the song's title, Dancing With The Enemy.
The chorus, "dance with me, my enemy, to finish what was lost," confirms that the singer wants to reconcile with their enemy. By dancing together, they would try to make up for what was lost between them. The second verse indicates that many voices are talking about them, but they don't care about it. The sensitive silence between them would be broken by the singer, who wants to dance with their enemy. The song's sentiment is therefore that the past is gone, but they want to move forward and reconcile, and dancing together is the way to do it.

You look back
You turn your head backwards
Over your shoulder
You look over your own shoulder
To see what could have been

Do you want to see
Do you wish to witness
What used to be
What was in the past
Someone you called friend
Someone you had called a pal
Dance with me
Let us dance together
My enemy, to finish what was lost
My foe, to complete what was unaccomplished

This is the place for us to dance tonight
All that you have to do

I like how they have a lot of different styles in their arsenal I think it makes an Album awesome, If I had an all heavy album then except a heavy song in the middle but found this I would laugh and love it all the same. I don't know why people don't get that a lot of these songs are expirments for albums and if a band does something like this its just showing their talent.

i dont see why people are complaining about this song, i love this song and all bands change their styles as they progress, people have different moods so this affects their songs, stop complaining and be a real fan, love their music and dont complain

@squiditch @UnQuebecoisBleu This is probably their most pop-y song, but if you listen to the album "Serpent" it is brutal. Still Remains reformed sometime in the last year with their original line up and will be releasing a new album. PS. They are SICK live.
