A Still Heart
The Naked and Famous Lyrics

Borders and horizon lines
Despite being alone, we are still next to each other while we observe the boundaries and limitations of our existence.

We're alone but side by side
We may be emotionally alone but we remain physically together as we navigate through life.

We're yet to dream, we're yet to dream
We have not yet discovered our innermost desires and ambitions.

Nothing here is what it seems
Our surroundings and experiences may not be as they appear, and may need a closer look or second thought.

There's an animal inside
We all have a primal nature within us, filled with instinct and strong emotions.

There's a fear that won't subside
We may struggle with some deeply-rooted fears that we cannot easily overcome.

Of all the things I'll never do
We may have an ongoing list of things we want to do, but never get around to doing.

Will I ever follow through?
The artist questions their ability to achieve their goals and follow through with their plans.

Half awake and almost dead
We may be going through the motions of life, but feel drained and only somewhat present.

Keeping empty beds elsewhere
We are choosing to avoid emotional connections and intimacy, instead favoring solitude.

We're yet to bleed, we're yet to bleed
We have yet to experience deep emotional pain or trauma.

All the time and energy
We are using all of our resources to survive and navigate through life.

Could we try to reinvent
The singer suggests trying to approach life in a new way, or change something about themselves.

Feed the head with common sense
The singer suggests taking a logical approach to life, rather than letting emotions take over.

Through the streets and avenues
The singer suggests exploring different paths and possibilities in life.

I'm climbing up the walls with you
The artist is struggling with someone else, trying to overcome their challenges together.

And if we could be still, still, be still
The artist imagines a sense of peace and stillness in life, possibly by overcoming their struggles and uncertainties.

If we could be still, still, be still
Repeating the line emphasizes the desire for a sense of calm and stillness in a life that may feel chaotic.
