Still Watchin' You
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm rushin, you're duddlin
You sleep while i am working
In good times and bad times
I'm with you, without you

I'm peaceful, you're snorring
You're shouting, i'm praying
For fairness to tell the truth but...

I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you

I'm saving, you're wasting
I buy what you are tasting
Extravagance in memory
White socks to black panties

I'm breathing, you're smoking
You're burnin' my curtain
To heaven and grateful death but...

I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you

You're dreamin', i'm killing
Cause you smash what i'm building
All good things and bad things
We got through, goodbye you

I'm flying, you're fallin'
You're diving, i'm risin'
To silence and peacefulness but...

I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you




I'm still watchin' you
I'm still watchin' you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Busters' song "Still Watchin' You" seem to be about a relationship where one person is putting in all the effort while the other is slacking off. The first verse describes how the singer is rushing around while their partner is dawdling and sleeping. The second verse reveals that the singer is peaceful while their partner is snoring, and also that the partner is shouting while the singer is praying for justice. Despite these differences, the chorus repeats the line "I'm still watchin' you" four times, indicating that the singer is not giving up on the relationship even though it is challenging.


The third verse reveals more about the dynamic between the singer and their partner, with lines like "I'm saving, you're wasting" and "You're burning my curtain." The fourth verse takes a darker turn, with the singer accusing their partner of smashing what they're building and threatening to kill them in their dreams. The song ends with the lines "I'm flying, you're falling / You're diving, I'm rising" which suggests that the singer has moved on from the relationship and is finding their own success.


Overall, "Still Watchin' You" seems to be a song about the ups and downs of a difficult relationship. Despite the challenges, the singer is still invested and watching over their partner, but eventually realizes that it's time to move on and focus on their own growth.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm rushin, you're duddlin
I am in hurry but you are slow


You sleep while i am working
You are lazy while I am busy


In good times and bad times
Through thick and thin


I'm with you, without you
I am by your side, but it doesn't really matter


I'm peaceful, you're snorring
I am calm but you are noisy


You're shouting, i'm praying
You are yelling while I am speaking to God


For fairness to tell the truth but...
I want things to be fair, but...


I'm still watchin' you
I am keeping an eye on you


I'm saving, you're wasting
I am thrifty, but you spend recklessly


I buy what you are tasting
I purchase what you like


Extravagance in memory
We were extravagant in the past


White socks to black panties
We have a range of clothing items


I'm breathing, you're smoking
I am inhaling air, while you're smoking


You're burnin' my curtain
You are setting my curtain on fire


To heaven and grateful death but...
We may go to heaven or die, but...


You're dreamin', i'm killing
You are having good dreams, while I am ruining our life


Cause you smash what i'm building
You destroy what I am trying to construct


All good things and bad things
All the highs and lows


We got through, goodbye you
We made it, but now it's time for you to go


I'm flying, you're fallin'
I am soaring while you are crashing


You're diving, i'm risin'
You are plunging while I am ascending


To silence and peacefulness but...
To tranquility and peace, but...


I'm still watchin' you
I am still keeping an eye on you
