Still
The Vivid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you hear the churches fall
Won't you run and watch it all
Hear the others
Hear the bells so blue their sound
And if you're fast you'll be around
It won't be the same again
Feel the open wind my friend
"Means nothing to me"
And still they want to know
And still they are searching for the light
And still they want to grow in you
Watch the rivers
See the darkest stream and drown
See how fast it's running down
I won't feel the same again
Touch the coldest cross my friend
Don't you know this is the end of this game
And still they want to know
And still they are searching for the light
And still they want to grow in you
Still they want to grow
And still they are searching for the light
And still they want to know
To be alone
To be alone
To be alone
I won't be the same again
Feed the open mind my friend
Don't you know this is the end of this game
And still they want to know
And still they are searching for the light
And still they want to grow in you
Still they want to know
And still they are searching for the light
And still they want to grow in you
To be alone
To be alone
To be alone
The song "Still" by The Vivid talks about the end of something, possibly a game or a phase in life. The singer addresses his brother and encourages him to witness the fall of the churches and the sound of the bells that signal the end. He talks about how things won't be the same again and how he feels the open wind, indicating a sense of liberation or freedom. The lyrics suggest that the end of this phase will lead to growth and a search for the light. However, the singer also mentions the darkest stream that may drown someone who is not careful. He suggests that one needs to touch the coldest cross, which may symbolize sacrifice or suffering, to survive this change. The end of the song repeats the idea of still wanting to know and grow despite the uncertainty that lies ahead.
The song's lyrics are quite abstract and open to interpretation, which may be intentional. The theme of change and growth is universal, and the songwriters may have wanted to create a song that applies to many situations where someone is feeling the loss of something and seeking new opportunities. The use of religious imagery, such as churches and the cross, may indicate that the change is related to spirituality or morality. The idea of being alone is also repeated throughout the song, suggesting that the change may involve a sense of isolation or individual responsibility.

So lange her und irgendwas erinnerte mich vor einigen Wochen an Vivid.
Immer noch ein schöner Song, ich mochte und mag ihn sehr, auch heute :-)

Ich mochte die Band so sehr. Schade, dass sie sich auflösten und man vom Frontmann nur noch so wenig hört. Tolle Stimme!

Als Jugendliche war ich so verknallt in T.H. ( singer) 🙈... der Song ist immer noch voll schön.
@rogerrigher4792
One of my fave songs back then. I thought it's not German, because it sounds like American rock band with slight country music vibe.. luv it.
